| I like Mark Levine's, "Jazz Theory" book. I also like Jamey Aebersold's "Dominant 7 Workout," vol. 84.

| I have the Scott Reeves book, it's pretty cool. It's used by a lot of jazz teachers in the universities. I actually prefer the Mark Levine book, but if you can swing both, get 'em! As a friend of mine once told me, "I've rarely met a theory book I didn't like."

| Jim Knapp at Cornish College of the arts has a great book on chord scale relationships. you can order it from his website. It's simply called "jazz harmony" and covers chord scale relationships in extreme depth. I highly recommend it. |
