The Essential Jazz Harmony Book (For All Instrumentalists and
Arrangers)—Dan Haerle. Jazz has evolved its own harmony apart from
other genres of music. In order to improvise and compose in the idiom, a
basic understanding of this harmony, how chords move and connect with
each other, is essential. In this book, noted author and educator Dan Haerle
explains all the fundamental chord/scale theory and harmony you need
to know. At the end of the book are voicings to over 20 standard chord
progressions so that you can clearly see and hear how the various rules
apply in real world situations. Written for all musicians, no keyboard skills are
required, but knowing the names of the notes on a keyboard will be helpful.
