It offers an advanced, detailed study of jazz chord progressions, modes, and scales, making it essential for intermediate to advanced jazz musicians seeking to deepen their theoretical understanding and practical skills. ## Description Endorsed by Jamey Aebersold, James Moody, Dave Liebman, and others, The Jazz Theory Book presents all the information any student of jazz needs in an easy-to-understand, yet thorough, manner. For intermediate to advanced players, and written by one of the acknowledged masters of jazz, it is used by universities around the world. Review: Technical - This book is very in depth all about jazz theory and how the chordal progressions progress into different modes. It’s quite a thick book spiral bound Okay it makes it easier to use but unfortunately the spirals come apart. The content is concentrated and assumes quite advanced knowledge of theory not for beginners. If you’re like me you might need either a separate book on theory or a teacher who can explain. It’s not a book you can dip into. He goes through the different modes and explains the chordal progressions and scales. Review: Great theory book - A must have book for any jazz musician. Any musical theory book is an attempt to rationalise what people play or compose - it is a post hoc analysis. There is more than one way to explain and describe what goes on. I find with any subject that more than one author gets me to a quicker and better understanding than one author alone. I also use Bert Ligon's 'Comprehensive technique for Jazz Musicians and 'How to Play Bebop' by David Baker. When studying any particular aspect of the music, by comparing the three books one of them will come up with the goods and light will dawn. It is worth spending three times the cost of one book to save time and effort and get a grasp of what you need so much sooner. I would not be without this book, nor the others I mentioned. I don't just own one shirt, either... for rather different reasons, maybe.... ## Features - LEVINE JAZZ THEORY BOOK ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 100,777 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 97 in Jazz Music | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,079 Reviews | ## Images ![The Jazz Theory Book - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61A8YmRicqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Technical *by J***Y on 26 December 2024* This book is very in depth all about jazz theory and how the chordal progressions progress into different modes.

It has a very pragmatic approach to the way it presents the theory behind the way the jazz greats expressed themselves and delivered their souls to us, in sequences of notes! Every point is supported by lots of examples from jazz tunes and even the most complicated and complex elements of jazz theory are made to look simple and easy. It is only after one has finished Chapter 3 that the bulk and weight of the material that has been covered becomes apparent along with the realisation that there are 21 more chapters to follow! I have several Theory Books, general, Classical and Jazz but none comes even close to this one. The absolute best. Easy to read too, thanks to the Spiral binding that allows it to stay flat. Pretty big and heavy but what can we expect, it's 522 pages after all. Every mucisian should have this book. Now if only it had one or more companion CDs with the numeruous examples compiled... 10 out of 10. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Jazz Theory Book - The Jazz Piano Book - The Real Book: Sixth Edition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/48495715-the-jazz-theory-book](https://www.desertcart.no/products/48495715-the-jazz-theory-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
