« Lorsque les êtres futurs découvriront les artefacts de notre culture, le Jazz Harmony Book se démarquera comme le résumé le plus complet de l'harmonie diatonique moderne utilisée dans le jazz et la musique populaire de cette époque. Ce livre est détaillé, sophistiqué et étonnamment branché. J'ai particulièrement apprécié le chapitre sur le blues ainsi que la façon dont les auteurs ont noté l'effet du placement des battements sur les choix harmoniques. Cette phrase m'a frappé : « Nous pouvons entendre et sentir un accord fonctionner dans un sens lorsqu'il arrive, mais notre interprétation de cet accord peut également s'ajuster rétroactivement ». Le livre regorge de descriptions similaires donnant à ce sujet compliqué une vie propre, au-delà des mathématiques et de la terminologie habituelles. -Dave Liebman

« Clair, complet et pratique, le Jazz Harmony Book est en effet une clé bienvenue pour comprendre non seulement la richesse et l'ordre de l'harmonie jazz, mais aussi les nombreux styles musicaux profondément touchés par la large influence de l'harmonie jazz. ?
