Reddit reviews Oscar Peterson - Jazz Exercises, Minuets, Etudes & Pieces for Piano

This one?

Oscar Peterson's Jazz Etudes and this technique book by John Valerio come to mind!

I play mostly classic myself but this book is a great way to get into jazz: http://www.amazon.com/Peterson-Exercises-Minuets-Etudes-Pieces/dp/0634099795

I′m sorry I can′ t help any further. But I assure you that this book is really good for learning off beat etc. Pardon my grammar.


Oh and this is a great set of free tips and exercises: http://www.tjjazzpiano.com

Check out Oscar Peterson's Jazz Exercises, Minuets, Etudes, and Pieces. I've only played a couple (in a separate book), but they were great. Everything is written out for you, so no improvisation or theory knowledge is required, but they're a great way to start feeling what playing jazz piano is like.
