The Jazz Theory Book is an influential work by Mark Levine, first published in 1995. [1] The book is a staple in jazz theory, [2] and contains a wide range of jazz concepts from melodic minor scales and whole tone scale to bebop scales, diminished scales and " Coltrane" reharmonization. Levine assumes that the reader can read music, and gives over 750 musical examples.
