<p>I have been working with jazz pianist Steve Nixon (<a href="http://freejazzlessons.com">http://freejazzlessons.com</a>) for a while now, and I got myself the opportunity to work with his Blues piano mentor: the legendary Bruce Katz! This new piano lesson DVD called the &#8220;Breakthrough Blues Piano Method&#8221; features my detailed transcriptions of Bruce&#8217;s Katz&#8217;s techniques as well as examples of his own blues improvisations. So, if you&#8217;re interested in getting your blues playing to another level, go visit <a href="http://www.freejazzlessons.com/breakthroughblues/">http://www.freejazzlessons.com/breakthroughblues/</a> to get yourself a copy of this course.</p>
