Modern Jazz Piano Revealed!

“I am an amateur of some 30 years, jazzing around with a variety of instruments and collecting a pile of music that resembles those piles of National Geographics holding down the basements of America—all good stuff but not “where it’s at.” I keep looking, as I am sure many others do, in music stores and online for that bolt out of the blues that will get me through where ever I am in music and onto the next level of understanding and ability. Sarah’s books speak to me. They really do. They have a rare combination of intellectual insights, rigorously well trained by the traditions of music, and her personal ability do cut through the knots and notes with precision and humor. They are always on the top of the pile holding down my piano.”

—Peter Nicol, Sarah’s biggest fan in the Pacific Rain Forest
