Levine The Jazz Theory Book

The Jazz Theory Book takes the student from the most basic techniques
such as chord construction and the II-V-I progression through scale
theory, the blues, I've Got Rhythm changes, slash chords, the bebop
and pentatonic scales, how to read a lead sheet and memorize tunes and
a study of reharmonization that is almost a book in itself.
Over 500 pages of text and over 750 musical examples.
Written in the language of the working jazz musician, this book is
easy to read and user-friendly.
