By Rick Lawn and Jeff Hellmer
Originally published by Wadsworth, Jazz Theory and Practice is the most modern introduction to jazz theory ever published. Rich with examples from the repertoire, it gives performers, arrangers and composers an in-depth and practical knowledge of the theoretical foundations of jazz. A CD-ROM is also available, providing supplemental exercises for ear-training and sight-reading practice, as well as tutorials that correspond to topics and examples in the text. The supplementary ear-training software is being upgraded to contemporary standards and is therefore temporarily unavailable.

Reviewers have said: I have to agree with fellow reviewer …. that this is one of the most useful – and well-loved – books in my library.
An excellent resource.
This might be the most useful, and thorough, music theory book on my shelf. It’s not just a useful resource for Jazz, but for music in general.
