Hello.

I'm an intermediate player mainly interested in learning solo improvisation in the styles of blues/jazz/funk. My most acute concern is my poor left hand technique, so I wonder if anyone could recommend a book that deals with this in the type of music I'm interested in?

Bach is excellent for your left hand. I doubt though that its anywhere near the music youre interested in

Well Czerny wrote a book of studies for the left hand which I recommend:

https://www.amazon.com/Czerny-Studies-Left-Alfred-Masterwork/dp/073900543X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1254103607&sr=8-1

For more popular music I can't really say. I did buy a book called Blues Hanon, but it's pretty elementary.
