“I find Mark Davis's Jazz Piano Method to be very informative and insightful, not only for pianists, but for all musicians. His wealth of knowledge about jazz piano is evident. His method and approach is interesting and well thought out. As one who does clinics and master classes, I'm always seeking out new ways and methods to inform, excite, and motivate the students. I highly recommend Mark's book.” (from Amazon)
