How to play a fake book?
Some advice would be great. I play the piano. I see different ways to play too, like (Med. Swing Calypso, etc. ………) How do you play in these ways? I have a classical training for a long time. But how to make the transition to jazz? I know it's a question of jazz, but nobody answered there. The more I know you guys are pretty well informed.
I think the piano is treated more as a rhythm instrument in jazz. The best advice I can think of is to listen to many jazz pianists (Chic Corea, Count Basie, Joe Sample, Bob James, Peter White, Diane Schuur, Diana Krall, etc.) and emulate what they do. There is some good material at the Jamey Abersold http://www.jazzbooks.com/ Digging exactly what you are looking for may take some trial and error.
