Description

As Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, and McCoy Tyner ushered in the era of modern jazz piano, jazz harmony underwent a remarkable transformation. Not only did the content (the actual chord voicings) change, but the context (the way that the voicings were used and the forms within which they appeared) was also dramatically altered. The quartal voicing was born. This book is a look at the use of quartal voicings. The book introduces various approaches to mastery and explains, in part, the functional use of quartal voicings in the left hand. Includes quartal voicing arrangements of ten well-known standards.
