Strong classical background (about 10 years of study dating back to 30 years ago), I am now 53 and getting into the Mark Levine's book. Just found your channel, and IT IS very helpful. Thank you for spending your time doing these videos!

Massively helpful!! Really hope you continue the series. Classically trained for a decade as a kid and just started learning jazz, haven't found a teacher yet and picked up this book. even with my knowledge not a great book, have found youtube to be more helpful

Thanks for your comment! I'm going to try to record & upload the next chapter within the next week! Thanks for your patience, I've been away (gigs from hell in another country) but almost back home now 😅

Great! I tried doing Levine alone, no luck. Has chapter 5 come out yet?

I'm planning it soon- it's particularly tricky to clarify all the confusion and bad structure of chapter 4 first though!!

Honestly, if you're worried about fake books violating copyright or the chords in fake books being too complex, forget about reading from actual fake books for the time being. Begin with the melody of folk songs like Greensleeves or Auld Lang Syne, children's songs like Mary Had a Little Lamb, traditional pop songs before the jazz era like Alexander's Ragtime Band, or classical pieces with simple melodies like Johannes Brahm's Wiegenlied, and then convert the underlying chords in the chord progression, usually only triads, into their corresponding diatonic seventh chords and write it on the sheet music for the piece. You've just de facto created your own lead sheet for the piece.

Well yes in some ways I agree with you- but IMO this isn't very practical for somebody at the beginning of their journey into the jazz world
