Customer Reviews

Gets right to the point--very informative
This book explains away all the mysteries involved in quartal jazz harmony, as well as provides great insight into using triads over dominant sevenths and voice leading. Frank gets right to the heart of the matter and presents it in a straight-forward, easy to understand manner, which is the way it should be. Great for ANY instrumentalist and a great resource for jazz arrangers.

Great learning tool
Frank's book is an insightful approach to jazz voicings on the keyboard. His approach is straightforward and the book helps diagnose the best way to voice a chord for a contemporary and appropriate sound. I like this book so well that it is the primary text in the jazz keyboard class I teach.

An effective and systematic approach
This is an excellent study/resource book for piano comping!
Mantooth teaches chord shapes based on easy to remember intervallic relationships. This book has helped me more than any other!
