I probably have at least another 5 or 7 for guitar, but if your intent
is to limit it to "jazz music" without reference to the instrument,
there you go. I might add Barry Harris's "The Barry Harris Workshop
Video" available through Howard Ree's Jazz Workshops webpage.
No, I didn't mean to exclude guitar books, I just didn't want to limit
to them. Don't see many replies, I haven't been here for a while and
wonder if it's still active....
Lignon is one of the ones I think of as the top few I had, so thank you
for reminding me of that. With The Goal Note Method, those two may be
my top two that I lost.

I lost all my jazz books in a fire a year ago. Three of those white book boxes full. I probably never could have studied them all. But I would like to repurchase a few of the important ones. But I can't remember any that I thought were most importantexcept Berg's The Goal Note Method, which I just reordered from jazzbooks.com, and Levine's The Jazz Theory Book, of course.
Would you say what jazz instructional books you consider the most important, say under five, or even one?
Thanks.

Jonathan Kreisberg's "Offerings Of Note" maybe?Would you say what jazz instructional books you consider the most important, say under five, or even one?

The Chord-Scale Theory and Jazz Harmony by Nettles and Graff.
How to Improvise by Hal Crook
Patterns For Jazz - Coker, et al
A Chromatic Approach To Jazz Melody And Harmony by David Liebman
Thesaurus Of Melodic Patterns - Slonimsky.
For guitar it'd be:
The Mickey Baker Book (whatever it's called - for beginners)
A Modern Method For Guitar (Vols 1-3) - William Leavitt
The Advancing Guitarist - Mick Goodrick
120 Exercises For Right Hand - Guiliani
One of the Joe Pass Books waqs real important for me.
I forget if it was the Joe Pass Method or the Joe Pass Style.
They're both probably great.

Well, I'm getting back into playing more. I might try to suffer
facebook to reconnect, where on facebook?
Hi Joey, long time. I still have the Harmonic Analysis book from the community college in Canada. I had that book under my desk at work, so it was not lost, thank goodness.
thanks for the list.

Hi Joey, I got that book once on library loan from the community college in canada, and once on ebay. I copied it when I got it from the library, and am scanning it in. I'd like to share it once I finish. I don't know about copyright infringement etc.
From what I have seen, there is only one other real harmonic analysis book like that and it's not nearly as good.
Hopefully I can put it out there in the internet one of these days. Let me know if you'd like a copy and I'll try to finish scanning it.
