Teach Yourself Jazz offers something for everyone whose imagination has been captured by the exciting world of jazz. The book looks at the origins and development of jazz and gives an insight into its musical structures and the way in which it is played. It provides an essential guide for both the beginner and the more experienced musician or listener. The text is supported by examples from well-known pieces of music and a full glossary, and provides extensive advice on starting a collection of recorded jazz.

An audio CD accompanies the text with extracts from key works, to build your understanding and enhance your listening experience.

Rodney Dale, the author, has been involved with jazz for over 40 years, including playing piano with a number of bands, organising classes and workshops on jazz appreciation and writing books on the subject.
