Negative Positive
Title: Ad hoc
Review: A good primer on the chord notation one is apt to encounter in fake books and jazz charts, but it falls far short when it comes to common-practice harmonic theory. Covers all manner of esoterica like added 9ths and 13ths and diminished and augmented variations, but the material on how chords function in relation to one another is sketchy and unconvincing to this university music department graduate. Better to stick with Piston.
