Recommended Study books and methods for further Jazz study
The following are books and study material which I either own or have had a chance to study, and which I think are really worth the money and effort. I find that a good, structured book is one of the best ways to learn more on any subject, since it also provides the fulfilment of working through something from beginning to end. These books have all offered me a lot of knowledge and I hope they will do the same for you.
