« Lorsque les êtres futurs découvriront les artefacts de notre culture, le Jazz Harmony Book se démarquera comme le résumé le plus complet de l'harmonie diatonique moderne utilisée dans le jazz et la musique populaire de cette époque. Ce livre est détaillé, sophistiqué et étonnamment branché. J'ai particulièrement apprécié le chapitre sur le blues ainsi que la façon dont les auteurs ont noté l'effet du placement des battements sur les choix harmoniques. Cette phrase m'a frappé : « Nous pouvons entendre et sentir un accord fonctionner dans un sens lorsqu'il arrive, mais notre interprétation de cet accord peut également s'ajuster rétroactivement ». Le livre regorge de descriptions similaires donnant à ce sujet compliqué une vie propre, au-delà des mathématiques et de la terminologie habituelles. -Dave Liebman
« Le Berklee Book of Jazz Harmony est éminemment lisible et convivial. Les auteurs présentent les principes de l'harmonie jazz et de la théorie des gammes d'accords de manière claire et invitante. ? Keith Waters, pianiste de jazz, théoricien et auteur de The Studio Recordings of the Miles Davis Quintet, 1965-68
« Clair, complet et pratique, le Jazz Harmony Book est en effet une clé bienvenue pour comprendre non seulement la richesse et l'ordre de l'harmonie jazz, mais aussi les nombreux styles musicaux profondément touchés par la large influence de l'harmonie jazz. ? Michael Rendish, président fondateur de l'harmonie, Berklee College of Music

?Mili Bermejo?s Vocal Jazz Improvisation is the most comprehensive vocal book I have ever seen on improvisation. Her years of research and her wisdom and artistry leave no stones unturned. I would recommend this book to instrumentalists as well, to develop their ears and breadth of expression.?
?Jerry Bergonzi, Jazz Saxophonist, Composer, Author, Educator

?I have been a huge fan of Mili as an artist for many years now, and have admired her impeccable skills as a teacher for just as long. Seeing Mili perform in duo with Dan Greenspan is one of the great wonders of the world. They make voice and bass seem like an orchestra, harmonically rich and complete, and emotionally compelling. How lucky for us that Mili has written a book on improvisation from her own assured and gracious vantage point. Her approach is accessible, organic, personal, and best of all, inspiring! She takes the fear factor out and provides tools to make improvisation a truly creative and joyful experience.?
?Peter Eldridge, Jazz Singer, Pianist, Composer (New York Voices)

?Creating awareness is at the core of this beautiful material that was very much needed in the vocal jazz field. Here is a book with clever, effectively organized information for all vocalists to develop a practical framework that covers the foundation to find confidence, strength and ultimately freedom as a vocal improviser.
Mili?s music speaks to the heart, overflowing with humanity, joy, and compassion, and this book does the same. Mili traces a clear path, guiding us step by step along the way. She draws on her own experience, which I must say reflects all vocalists? experience, as we walk this fascinating journey of jazz singing.?
?Magos Herrera, GRAMMY-nominated Jazz Singer

This book picks up where others leave off, enabling you to replace static chords with voicings that move melodically, dramatically, and gracefully over the entire range of the keyboard. Firmly rooted in contemporary jazz theory, the emphasis is on practical performance applications. Andy ties it all together with illustrations of comping choruses for five standard jazz tunes.
