The Definitive Jazz Theory Book for All Musicians
Used in university programs world-wide and endorsed by jazz legends, The Jazz Theory Book is simply the most authoritative book on the subject. Written in the language of the working musician, this book is easy to read and beginner-friendly. At the same time, it's the most comprehensive study of jazz harmony and theory ever published.
With over 500 pages of text and more than 750 musical examples, The Jazz Theory Book takes you from the most basic techniques such as chord construction and the II-V-I progression through:
In addition to his enormous educational contributions, Mark Levine spent many years working with Bobby Hutcherson, Cal Tjader, Joe Henderson, Woody Shaw, and many other jazz greats.
Endorsements:
“Mark Levine has done it again, but this time he has created the most comprehensive and complete theory book I've ever seen. It is really user-friendly and is written in a clear and comfortable style. It has excellent musical examples pertinent to the text and is also very inspiring and gives a lot of practical advice you don't find in most theory books. Again, a great job! Highly recommended.”
-Richie Beirach
“There's a Mark Levine book called The Jazz Theory Book. I would suggest getting it and doing two pages a day just to study it and learn to read some basic piano, even if you can only pick out one note at a time. As you work through it you'll notice the way you hear and the way you sing will automatically start to change. It's like looking at the world and not knowing it's all blurry — you can make your way through, but then you get glasses and everything gets clearer and clearer. I think that's really important.”
-Esperanza Spalding
“The Jazz Theory Book should be in every musician's library regardless of the level of their ability.”
-James Moody
“Mark has done it again and the music world is grateful. This book will help move the understanding of jazz theory and harmony into the 21st century.”
-Jamey Aebersold
