Thank you for putting this together! I can imagine that this took quit of bit of effort. But it was so so very helpful for me. I've never been interested in Jazz at all but this actually has me excited to try these books!

That was with out a doubt the best review of piano books I have ever watched. Thank you for your very thoughtful and in depth review.

This information is so helpful. Thank you so much. Gershwin’s song “I’ll Build A Stairway to Paradise” is a song in the movie An American in Paris. The movie can be seen on Turner Classic Movies.

Best book review on KZfaq - especially on jazz, informative, professional and engaging. Way to go!

You clearly need more recognition, your channel is very insightful.

Excellent review with beautiful demos! I have Martha Mier book, agree it's the best, so much fun.

This channel deserves 1 million subscribers. Thank you for your videos!

Thanks for such a great overview of these books. I have seen some of them on Amazon before and you really made them come to life. Glad I found your channel.

very nice review thanks !!

The Steinway library was an amazing offering pieces to grow on for intermediate players was pure gold So sad they are not in print or pdf

Very useful. I bought all 5 of the Alfred (Martga Mier) books as I quite enjoyed the pieces in the All-in-one books. The other books look interesting too. Also they are all in the piano marvel app which helps with the initial stages of learning. You still should buy the books Now trying to find the time to practice is a different story.

could you please make a similar video for pop songs? these two videos were really helpful thanks!

Nice much needed..

Wow, even these simple Jazz demo pieces sound so tantalizing and smooth, very well played! I am sold, time to buy Jazz books and try them out.

Just a suggestion, if you can add another 🎤 so you have one for yourself and the other for the instrument.

😅😅 great teacher always

I know pop is sometimes underated as a serious art form But can you do a series on pop ? Lots of great studies but not methods

Do you have more demo’s of the last book? It is so helpful to learn the pieces!

What about book recommendations on the best Halloween music?

You are clear Dr. One question. What tips do you suggest for fingerings? I try to look at hymns which don't suggest any fingerings and I am always at a loss. Thank you in anticipation.

Does playing note for note like this actually teach you improvisation and help you later to play from lead sheets?

Thanks so much for this great review! I was just wondering, how does it work with searching the songs from the Alfred Music website? Do I key in the name from that particular song? Because i tried to search under Martha Miers and that was not found under the search bar. Would that be a free version or i have to pay if i wanted to get a particular song from the first book shown in this video? Thanks

Jazz piano 😅😅 please

😅😅

Your swing is not very good. There's a reason that all of the Jazz masters use little to no rubato when they swing. It's too complicated of a topic for a KZfaq comments section(that would have some math, history, and musicology), but to sum it up, I don't feel your swing. And I don't listen to music with a "stickler" mentality, trying to find mistakes. Your general explanation of Jazz as a style was very surface level compared to your descriptions of classical music. Although you are a great teacher for classical piano and piano technique, based on your playing here, I don't think you should be giving instruction in the Jazz domain.
