For years, Jamey Aebersold has given away a booklet called the "Jazz Handbook" FREE OF CHARGE. This resource is great for jazz fans and students of all levels. Now, he's decided to make most of it available online for download. http://www.jazzbooks.com/jazzhandbook/Default.htm

Jamey lives about 80 miles from here in New Albany, Indiana, just across the river from Louisville. I met him in 1966 at the St. James Art festival in Louisville and played a few tunes with him. Haven't run into him in over 40 years, but he is one of the most respected music educators around today. 10 years ago, many of the horn players doing OMB used his tracks for perforemances.
Class act!
