Blues Riffs for Piano (Educational Piano) [Paperback] Review

This book is a hidden gem. There are only 39 examples presented, but each one is solid and written down with the complete fingering. The examples are organized by function: Turnarounds, walk ups, fills, etc. The author bases the right hand licks on the pentatonic scale with the b3rd and b5th passing tones. So the b7th is ignored. Each lick comes with an appropriate left hand part. The licks vary in length from a few bars to complete 12 bar stylings. The sound quality of the CD is excellent. The piano part is in a separate stereo channel from the backing part. If you don't have time for Andrew Gordon's 100 Blues Licks, this book should do nicely. If you already have a few blues piano books in your library, this book is useful as a second source.
