Chord voicings are at the heart of jazz piano. The way you voice a chord can define the character of a tune, set the mood of a performance, and transform simple harmonies into something rich and personal. Whether you’re comping behind a soloist or playing solo piano, the ability to craft effective voicings is essential to your sound.

This book is designed to give you a solid foundation in the voicings that are most useful in jazz. It covers a range of practical shapes and concepts to help you develop fluency and confidence across the keyboard. With the exception of a few examples, the voicings in this book are presented in the key of C. By transposing them in all 12 keys yourself, you will internalize them faster than if you were to read them printed here. You’ll also find tools and exercises to help you adapt these voicings to fit your own musical style and create something uniquely yours.

Use this book as a guide and a springboard. Learn the voicings, experiment with them, and let them inspire you to create your own. With practice and exploration, you’ll discover how to make these essential tools work for your music.
