    Terrible service from Sheet Music Plus

    According to the United States Postal Service, you failed to put sufficient postage on my order, so it was never delivered. My credit card company issued me a refund for the product you failed to deliver.

    HOW TO PLAY JAZZ

    I found the book confusing and would be better if they had sample licks for each style of jazz.

    Lots of Info, but....

    This book is full of information, though it is presented piecemeal. It probably should be at the intermediate level for the theory (but lots of gems) because it is presented somewhat haphazard. I got a lot out of it, but have had a bunch of music theory. There is a tendency to state rules, but that simplifies things for beginners. The exercises/CD itself probably are beginner/int level. I like the encouragement written in the text and some of the more cerebral material. I hate the constant plugging of other products (though I got sucked in by the Major/Minor workout...), although he does mention non-JA products as well. There is a tendency to state rules, but that simplifies things for beginners.
