Jeb Patton is a living treasure, and his new book Introduction to Jazz Piano: A Deep Dive is a generous labor of love as well as being an extremely valuable text for students and pros alike. There is no one today who is a more devoted bridge for Jazz pianists of the present and the future to the language of the 20th century masters than Jeb. As a musical brother, my own heart beams with pride to see this new volume of information so soulfully prepared, because as a Jazz Messenger I can honestly cosign Jeb’s entire modus operandi as a most genuine, humble disciple of the music, and as well the most noble and authentic kind of a teacher as can be found.”

When it comes to learning jazz piano, this is about as good as it gets. Packed with enough learning material to last a lifetime — it is, indeed, a ‘deep dive.’ ”
— Downbeat
Introduction to Jazz Piano: A Deep Dive is just that. It is an in-depth, refreshing course on deepening one’s skill set. It encourages musical exploration in a conceptual way, rather than a one size fits all approach. Highly recommended! ”
— Alan Pasqua
It’s difficult to know where and how to begin in the vast language of jazz piano, but Jeb Patton’s comprehensive introduction hones in on fundamental concepts that provide a firm foundation for a lifetime of exploration.”
