The late Steve Allen was a modern renaissance man or maybe just a jack of all trades in music and performing.He wrote and played popular jazz standards as well as being a funny comedian, an author, and a very likeable TV personality.In this DVD made from a 1994 tape he shares a lot of little 'tricks' which he either discovered or learned from the greats of jazz like Art Tatum and others.I'm just a beginner in piano and I can't pick up eveything he is doing the first time going though this.It will be something you will want to go over many times.There are a lot of things here that if you go over them on your own or better with a teacher can make you sound a lot better than you are.
The DVD is divided into 33 sections of 2-3 minutes each so you can find any of tricks to go over easily.
