Jazz Harmony, as taught at the Berklee College of Music is based on the so called
Chord Scale Theory. This method - further developed - is now available as a
comprehensive textbook for the first time. Emerged from practice and designed for
practical use, it provides theoretical knowledge necessary for improvisation,
composing, and arranging.
"A helpful and organized tool that can shurely aid any musician interested in understanding
harmony as it relates to the complex subtleties of jazz improvisation."
Michael Brecker
"This is a fine book, clear, comprehensive, and detailed. I like to think of it as the 'Basics
Bible'. It would make a wonderful addition to the personal library of any jazz student or
teacher."
Mick Goodrick
"This book is a must for anyone interested in understanding the language of Jazz. It is laid
out in a simple (but not simplistic) manner that guides one from the basic, to the most
challenging concepts of improvisational aids. The book also shows a great respect for the
traditions of our music which I feel is important for opening minds to the future. I highly
recommend this book!"
Bob Berg
"This might become the 'REAL BOOK of Jazz Harmony' for every serious musician!"
Cornelius Claudio Kreusch
Probably the best book out there right now, about jazz-style harmonic analysis, is The Chord
Scale Theory And Jazz Harmony by Nettles and Graf.
