Creative Jazz – Composing & Arranging

This book is for anyone who writes, plays or listens to jazz. It explains the writing process and the construction of jazz pieces. I’ve attempted to answer many of the questions that arrangers and composers ask themselves when they are writing.

Players who read this book will better understand the arrangements that they play and will get more from their listening which will make them better at interpreting the music they perform. Listeners will get into the creators’ heads and appreciate the jazz experience to a greater degree. (David Berger)
