| Abstract
|
:
|
" ... Uses harmony as a doorway into the blues ... the major triad is taken as a starting point for playing and improvising blues, using nothing but the first five notes of the scale. The concept of blue notes is introduced at this stage, lending authentic-sounding color to the triadic harmonies. Chords of increasing complexity are gradually introduced ... Most of the great eras of piano blues are represented, from the boogie pioneers of the 1920s, through New Orleans and the disciples of Professor Longhair, via Chicago and Kansas City in the 1940s and 50s, to the sophisticated jazzy and funky blues of the 1960s, 70s and beyond ..."--Preface.
