Summary: Jazz Theory
Comment: ^^ don't listen to fffcj...

this book is thoroughly informatve and the many music examples only help to further your understanding of what is being explained.

This book goes into many detailed explanations of various concepts (beginner to advanced) and provides many valuable examples/recordings in which you can referrance the topic to. including the many footnotes and sidebars which ARE very important and certainly deserved to be in the book. the footnotes also help to eliminate alot of clutter that would have been inevitable had Mark included them in the main body of text.

One thing i was very happy about with this book is not as clinical as alot of other books. The Author talks to you as if you were having it explainied to you by a private teacher. Including humor and real world clarifications.

Jazz Theory can clear up many things you may have been hazy on, and also teach many things you had no clue about. this book gets 10 stars out of 5.

Summary: Remarkable book that makes theory fun.
Comment: This book is just outstanding in the way is speaks to the students. You have the feeling you are learning from a friend, instead from a teacher who doesn't care that you learn something. It starts with basic theory, and goes on to the more advanced stuff like reharmonizing jazz standards and playing outside etc. This book has it all, so if you're an aspiring jazz student you should get this book, it is essential in any jazz fan's book collection. Great stuff!

Rating: 5
Summary: BUY THIS BOOK NOW!!
Comment: By all means, if you've been confused with theory in the past, buy this book! I could have easily saved myself several hundred dollars I've spent on other materials that only left me as confused as I was when I started or at best taught me fragments of theory that I couldn't piece together in a cohesive manner if I'd just bought this book first. Levine's book shows you the how and the why in a way that is easy to understand and builds on itself so that you "get it" and can apply it. I can't recommend it highly enough!
