Jazz Harmony, Think - Listen - Play - A Practical Approach

ISMN: 979-0-001-20104-9

How do we bridge the gap between theory and the music we love? This book aims to establish as close a relationship as possible between theory, the ear and our instrument. 'Jazz Theory - Think Listen Play' is a comprehensive approach to improvisation, translating knowledge into sound, developing out musical imagination and finding our 'inner voice', which then guides us on our instrument. It will be a rewarding journey for any aspiring musician, music teacher and Jazz player. Always remember - there is no truth in theory, only in music. Enjoy!
