This book is a true gem. It has a very pragmatic approach to the way it presents the theory behind the way the jazz greats expressed themselves and delivered their souls to us, in sequences of notes! Every point is supported by lots of examples from jazz tunes and even the most complicated and complex elements of jazz theory are made to look simple and easy. It is only after one has finished Chapter 3 that the bulk and weight of the material that has been covered becomes apparent along with the realisation that there are 21 more chapters to follow! I have several Theory Books, general, Classical and Jazz but none comes even close to this one. The absolute best. Easy to read too, thanks to the Spiral binding that allows it to stay flat. Pretty big and heavy but what can we expect, it's 522 pages after all. Every mucisian should have this book. Now if only it had one or more companion CDs with the numeruous examples compiled... 10 out of 10.

If I was banished to a desert Island and had to choose 1 book this would be it.
Why did I not discover this book earlier in my life!?
Absolutely worth every Penny, Cent, Dracma whatever....
Brilliant!!! Thank you Mark Levine.

Brilliant way to get into jazz. I'm a music student currently at university, and this is the only jazz book you need buy. But like all music books, the main part of it is that you practice what's written, don't just read!

This is just the best Jazz Theory book I've ever seen. It's well organised, with a logical flow of material, thorough but easily comprehensible explanations and lots of well-explained transcribed examples. I've got the book and Kindle versions so I can always refer to it. The music is primarily written for piano and I'm a guitarist but it will work just as well for any single note instrument. If you want to play better jazz and you haven't got this book, order it today.

An excellent informative book. Lots of references to recordings that can be listened to in conjunction with working through the book. It is spiral bound which is great for turning pages when having the book on a keyboard music stand.

This tome will keep me learning and gradually coming to understand the mechanics/structures of jazz for a long time. The book is dense but not impenetrable. I look forward to progressing my jazz playing skills as I come to understand more and more about the possibilities for improvisation.

The complexity and level of details of the book give you a hint about the level of detail and precision to which it goes to.
Would definitely recommend this for people who want to learn in depth about jazz theory.
