Jamie Aebersold, the publisher who produces many widely used jazz instructional materials and practice aids, offers a free booklet called "The Jazz Handbook" to interested parties, and now the company has made most of it available online as a series of free downloadable PDF files.
Topics include everything from "Jazz: The Natural Music," "Suggested Listening - Jazz Artists," and "Historically Significant Recordings" to very specific information on scales, chords, practice routines, soloing and more. It looks like a nice resource for music students and musicians and for listeners and fans who'd like to increase their understanding. You can see a list of the sections of "The Jazz Handbook" that are available for download here.
And if you should wish to buy some of Aebersold's other materials, StLJN affiliate Sheet Music Plus has a wide selection available, with competitive prices and fast shipping. (Each purchase you make by clicking through one of our links helps support StLJN, via a small commission paid by Sheet Music Plus to us.) You can see their catalog of Jamey Aebersold materials here.
