Jazz harmony

• Jazz standards in a relative notation

• Joe Mulholland, Tom Hojnacki. The Berklee Book of Jazz Harmony Kindle Edition - A book that describes all traditional concepts of a jazz harmony language (secondary dominants, tritone substitution, modal interchange, modulation, modal harmony). Each chapter analyzes a special piece written to showcase the very discussed chapter topic (unlike other books that analyze existing jazz standards). I’m not sure whether a Kindle version comes with a code to access the website with audio recordings of those pieces, the paperback one does. This is a new book using Berklee approach, so it supersedes the books by Barrie Nettles and Richard Graf

• The Jazz Standards Progressions Book - Hundreds of popular jazz standards manually analyzed by authors of mDecks to highlight jazz-specific harmonic patterns (tritone substitution, ii-V-s, to-minor, chord scales). Alternatively, you may buy Mapping Tonal Harmony Pro with the paid 1300 Jazz Standards add-on to explore all progressions on a tonal map
