Jazz Piano A Reader Volume 2

 These are currently in production at Kindle Direct publishing and should be available as a paperback and eBook shortly.



A Preface, an Introduction, 50 chapters and 361 pages of articles, interviews and commentaries by a variety of Jazz authors and critics highlighting the careers of significant Jazz pianists including Bud Powell, Nat “King” Cole, Al Haig, Michael “Dodo” Marmarosa, Joe Albany, George Wallington, John Lewis, Art Hodes, Erroll Garner, Lennie Tristano, George Shearing, Duke Jordan, Billie Taylor, Oscar Peterson, Dave McKenna, Dick Twardzik, Phineas Newborn Jr., Barbara Carroll Jr., Ronnell Bright and Hank Jones.

After the production costs are met, I am donating 50% of all royalties to the local high school and community college to help individual students purchase musical instruments.

You support in helping with this initiative would be greatly appreciated.

With everyone so busy these days, all of these Readers [scroll the sidebar for additional books in the series]] are formatted in such a way that most of the articles can be read in 15-30 minutes.
