Jazz Harmony, as taught
at the Berklee College of Music is based on the so called
Chord Scale Theory.
This method - further developed - is now available as a comprehensive textbook
for the first time.
Emerged from practice and designed for practical use, it provides theoretical
knowledge necessary for improvisation, composing, and arranging.
"Having never had any institutional
training in harmony and theory, I have often wondered just how Jazz Harmony
came to be?
To develop and exist with its so deep well of knowledge that is necessary
to the improviser? Where did this come from and how did it develop?
'THE CHORD SCALE THEORY AND JAZZ HARMONY' explains this and also goes farther
by
showing just how this knowledge can be used. My only regret is that I’ve
just found it."
Art Farmer
"A helpful and organized tool
that can shurely aid any musician interested in understanding
harmony as it relates to the complex subtleties of jazz improvisation."
Michael Brecker
"This comprehensive textbook
is a must for beginners, intermediate or advanced students.
It is quite logically constructed, very easy to comprehend, and the amount
of necessary information contained in this pages is very impressive.
Highly recommended."
Randy Brecker
"This is a fine book, clear,
comprehensive, and detailed. I like to think of it as the 'Basics Bible'.
It would make a wonderful addition to the personal library of any jazz student
or teacher."
Mick Goodrick
"This book is a must for anyone
interested in understanding the language of Jazz. It is laid out in a simple
(but not simplistic) manner that guides one from the basic, to the most challenging
concepts of improvisational aids.
The book also shows a great respect for the traditions of our music which
I feel is important for opening minds to the future.
I highly recommend this book!"
Bob Berg
"This might become the 'REAL
BOOK of Jazz Harmony' for every serious musician!"
