About this title

Synopsis

Joey DeFrancesco's Concepts for Improvisation is an instructional piano and keyboard music book by acclaimed Hammond B-3 organist Joey DeFrancesco that explores blues and bebop improvisation through authentic musical examples, transcriptions, harmonic analysis, and online audio. Designed for piano, organ, and synthesizer players, it presents Joey's personal approach to jazz improvisation using practical concepts and recorded demonstrations.

This collection features music examples for practice and study, blues and bebop lines in all 12 keys, transcriptions with harmonic analysis for selected tunes, and audio demonstrations performed by Joey DeFrancesco at different tempos, both with and without the right hand. The accompanying audio is available through streaming or download, allowing readers to hear phrasing, articulation, and rhythmic interpretation alongside the written music.

Rather than focusing only on written exercises, this collection illustrates how melodic ideas connect with harmonic movement, helping readers better understand the relationship between jazz vocabulary and improvisation. The combination of written notation, analytical commentary, and recorded demonstrations provides valuable musical context while encouraging exploration of blues and bebop concepts across different keyboard instruments.
