- Book Synopsis
- The definitive book on how to create beautiful jazz harmonies for any melody. Starting from the most basic harmonic situations and progressing to contemporary jazz harmony, this book is a serious study of the fundamentals of jazz harmony. It will help you to uncover the best choices for chords to accompany any melody, to better understand and create the 'right' chord progressions to standard tunes, to re-harmonize songs freely in the manner of great jazz artists like Hank Jones, Thelonious Monk, Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, Chick Corea, Brad Mehldau, Herbie Hancock, Duke Ellington, Gil Evans, Thad Jones, Joe Pass, Jim Hall and John Scofield. Topics covered include: basic functional harmony, diatonic substitutes, secondary dominants, passing chords, diminished harmony, tritone substitutes, non-functional approaches to harmonizing melodies including quartal harmony, color chords, harmonizing basslines, pedals, slash chords, unavailable tensions and more. Includes online audio of the author playing many of the written examples in the 206-page book. Note : The downloadable audio is available from the publisher's website.
