“When future beings unearth the artifacts of our culture, the Jazz Harmony Book will stand out as the most complete summary of modern diatonic harmony used in jazz and popular music of this era. This book is detailed, sophisticated and surprisingly hip. I especially enjoyed the chapter on the blues as well as how the authors noted the effect of beat placement on harmonic choices. This sentence struck me: 'We can hear and feel a chord operating one way when it arrives, but our interpretation of it that chord can also adjust retroactively.' The book is replete with similar descriptions giving this complicated subject a life of its own, beyond the usual mathematics and terminology.” – Dave Liebman

“The Jazz Harmony Book is eminently readable and user-friendly. The authors present the principles of jazz harmony and chord scale theory clearly and invitingly.” – Keith Waters, jazz pianist, theorist and author of The Studio Recordings of the Miles Davis Quintet, 1965-68
