DESCRIPTION:
A great resource for the working musician This is a great book, a comprehensive survey of many aspects of what I (not really being a jazz musician) would rather call "contemporary commercial music theory." This area of study is typically lacking in classical musicians' training, and any classical musician who would like to expand his or her musical horizons, in order to compete better in the "real world" of music and be able to work fluently from lead sheets, would do very well to buy this book and study it from cover to cove. but this one is my favorite by far I have gone through a lot of jazz theory books, but this one is my favorite by far. Very practical and easy to read. Useful for any instrument
Rich with examples from the repertoire, it gives performers, arrangers and composers an in-depth and practical knowledge of the theoretical foundations of jazz. A CD-ROM is also available, providing supplemental exercises for ear-training and sight-reading practice, as well as tutorials that correspond to topics and examples in the text.. Jazz Theory and Practice is the most modern introduction to jazz theory ever published
