Feb 16, Marc rated it it was amazing. I'm only on Chapter 3 at this time but I have learnt a lot already and can't wait to read more. This is a big book though and requires quite a lot of thought. I'll be "background reading" this one for quite some time to come. May 06, gekko rated it really liked it. Have enjoyed giving this a light reading. It's an extremely well-written and comprehensive resource -- with plenty of examples for all of the theoretical concepts. A lot of it hasn't fully sunk in -- and won't without a lot of practice -- but I think it's useful to have let the ideas wash over me.
book love: the jazz piano book // 10
I expect to be coming back to this much more later. Would love to see a multi-media version of the book with audio for each of the examples. May 20, Georgina rated it it was amazing Shelves: I have long relationship with this book. Going on ten years now. Whenever I pick it up I always learn something new and something old "clicks" into place. Today it's lead sheets and correcting errors and memorization tips for chord changes. Tomorrow it will be tinkering with established melodies and creating heads.
It's an amazing book and I highly recommend it. Jul 25, Adrian Stevenson rated it really liked it Shelves: I've just bought the ebook version of this so I have a reference on my ereader. I did read it a while back, but as with any good music theory book, it's important to keep going back, as there's always stuff you need to keep revisiting.
It's quite a weighty tome on paper, so it's the sort of thing that's perfect in ebook form. Mar 23, Stephen rated it it was amazing Shelves: Dec 28, Gladys Landing-Corretjer rated it really liked it. Is an excellent book! It helped me build some background knowledge I lacked. Mar 08, Craig Cunningham rated it it was amazing. This is a seminal work on Jazz Theory. I know that some music programs use this as a textbook. I love this book. I really enjoy that Mr. Levine defines examples of Jazz Theory concepts using actual Jazz Standards. He will take a musical line from a particular Jazz Standard piece and demonstrate that as his example.
I specifically liked how he used "Stella by Starlight. This is the book for the i This is a seminal work on Jazz Theory. This is the book for the intermediate Jazz Student. This is essential reading. You can carry this into the practice room with you. I will mention that you have to be able to read standard musical notation, and you should have a decent theory background before you pick up the book. He also has an excellent chapter on the "Art of Practicing.

The Jazz Theory Book by Mark LeVine
Don't expect to read this straight through: It's a workbook and a reference, so you will want to go through it slowly with your instrument at least once, and then refer back to specific areas as you need them. I've read a couple of criticisms of the book, and they're accurate - the Not being a jazz expert I can't certify that the theory presented here is correct, complete or comprehensive, but for sure it's clearly presented, well organized, and covers all the basic aspects of jazz I'm aware of. I've read a couple of criticisms of the book, and they're accurate - the book is geared primarily to pianists, and the wealth of examples leans very heavily on a couple of Levine's favorite musicians, such as Woody Shaw and Freddie Hubbard - but ultimately unimportant, because 1 theory really is easier to illustrate with piano notation, which is one reason musicians should all be able to play at least a litle piano; and 2 the examples ably illustrate the points he's making, and if you want to hear how John Gilmore or Jane Ira Bloom or Eric Dolphy have played pentatonic scales over a G7alt, you're encouraged to do your own listening and transcribing.
