performing experiences, and has made him a brilliant teacher. This
book exemplifies, in detail, the process necessary to achieving
this high level of musicianship.”—Gene Bertoncini, guitarist and
educator“This text is an extremely valuable resource for both the
self-guided student and for use in university and college jazz
programs. There is a wealth of information here for everyone, from
the beginner to the seasoned jazz improvisor, composer, and
arranger. I highly recommend it to all looking to further their
knowledge and abilities as performers, writers, and
teachers.”—Brian Dickinson, Professor, Humber College“Jazz Theory:

well-organized, and accessible, calibrated for use by individuals
or in the classroom. It provides a wealth of carefully presented
theoretical material, amplified by practical play-along audio
tracks and ear-training exercises.”—Keith Waters, Professor of
