Dariusz Terefenko is Associate Professor of Jazz Studies and Contemporary Media at the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester.
“It is the most articulate and exhaustive exploration of jazz
theory that I’ve witnessed, making it a terrific resource for
classroom instructors, private teachers, and students wishing to
tackle this broad subject independently." - Fred Sturm, Lawrence
University Conservatory of Music, originally posted by Eastman
School of Music “Not only is it well-written, well-researched and
thorough, it’s very accessible and understandable regardless of
one’s age or level of experience.”- Dennis Mackrel, musical
director of the Count Basie Orchestra, originally posted by Eastman
School of Music "By drawing upon his extensive knowledge of
traditional music theory and applying it to jazz, Dr. Terefenko
provides a new perspective on several topics that I have seen
presented in other jazz texts, but rarely effectively related to
their counterparts (or origins) in classical music...Dr.
Terefenko’s book is a welcome addition to jazz scholarship and will
give students of jazz of all levels much to explore for years to
come." - Dr. Eric Schmitz, State University of New York at
Oswego
