From classical music to Jazz the journey is long and magical, as the chords are revised, transforming like the colors of a sky during sunset. Keep in mind that melody is the boat and harmony is its sail ... In this book you have the opportunity to feel and investigate this, as you can study three classical masterpieces: "Für Elise" (Ludwig van Beethoven), "June: Barcarolle" (Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky) and "Waltz in A minor" (Frédéric Chopin), here revised in jazz music, in Swing and Bossa Nova rhythms. This study does not only has do to with the art of harmonization, which is by itself a great chapter in the field of music, but also it is a creative dialog between cultures, chords, styles, rhythms and techniques. The maturity and wealth of classical music here, in this book, find their freedom in the rhythmic and pluralistic ocean of jazz, forming a new, fresh and light language. So, if you are a classic pianist who wants to discover the world of jazz music and expand his horizons and skills on another level in a very creative and easy way, this book is written for you. So, practice, enjoy, have fun and pursue your passion in jazz, letting yourself find out the virtuoso hidden in you!
