5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to find, but really worth it!, October 29, 2002
This review is from: Jazz Arranging and Composing : A Linear Approach (Paperback)
I studied 2 years with Bill at Eastman in the 70's, and he talked a lot about Ellington's linear approach, how after you transcribed his big band arrangements, you found a lot of seemingly non-sensical vertical sonorities. This book is the fruit of his exhaustive endeavors, and offers a fresh, lucid approach to the understanding of 3-5 part harmonies functioning contrapuntally, as independent linear melody, not flying chord progressions at eighth-note speeds. This book will show you alternatives, and fresh approaches to your harmonic arranging vocabulary.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginners, too, August 24, 2008
This review is from: Jazz Arranging and Composing : A Linear Approach (Paperback)
I just changed my major from Classical Comp to Jazz Comp and I wanted to have a more solid idea of what I was getting into before the semester started, so I bought this book. Although, for some reason, the CD was not included in my copy - either because is fell our or it was stolen - this book has helped me out a lot. I have to play through each example, which I think makes learning the techniques more advantageous. The only down side is the format in which the text it written. It is very blocky and difficult to section out.
