"as a music theory teacher, I am constantly on the lookout for good theory books, there are very very few of them. this one, however is excellent. the simplified piano reductions are incredibly valuable and the discussion of the technicalities surrounding issues of taste is unique."
"This book is THE only book you need if you are interested about learning the theory and mechanics of Jazz music. Written in a way thats easy to understand, it covers nearly everything you need to know, referencing musical examples from many great jazz musicians. Since I have studied this book my comprehension of theory has improved greatly. I've read a lot of books on the topic but this by far stands out as being the clear-cut winner!"
