Jazz Piano & Harmony : An Advanced Guide (w/CD) [Paperback] Review

I was drawn to this after purchasing Mr. Ferrara's first book - Fundamental Guide....my daughter is currently majoring in music in college and beginning her second year. The first proved invaluable to her so the choice to purchase this book was a natural "progression" (pun intended!).
From Mr. Ferrara's Basic Improvisation Review through advanced topics such as Minor Harmony, Superimposing Models, Voicings in Fourths and Modulations (with a Blues section to boot)...the author again draws upon his very obvious strength....teaching - guiding the beginner and experienced Jazz student/player through the all too often mysterious road of learning Jazz piano.
A MAJOR PLUS is the FREE CD included with the author not only playing all included transcriptions but also adding a commentary when required. This gives the student the feeling of personal attention which should have easily doubled the price of this book.
Bottom line - highly recommended. Should be used by every Jazz teacher and serious student.
