This book keeps popping up in discussions on Jazz theory and practice on various threads here, so I finally went and checked out some reviews and I've decided to get a copy come next pay check. I may not "get it" all, but it seems that it's a gateway to all that I am interested in. It's obviously not mando-centric, but can be adapted to all instruments.
From a review on Amazon: " Do you want to know what to do with that B-flat alt chord in the "Real Book?" Want to know how pentatonic scales can build over various chords? Want to know why it somehow sounded right when that V chord resolved down a major third instead of a fifth? Read this book."
