- “In his book Modern Jazz Theory and Practice, Mr. Rochinski has given us a new level of comprehension and usefulness of the harmonic practices in jazz as it has developed over the past seventy years. Using his own compositions as well as well-known pieces by many of the greats from contemporary jazz history as musical examples to digest and analyze, Steve brings conceptual understanding from multiple viewpoints so that generations of musicians will be able to personally express themselves and develop their own special palate. It's a delicious feast for my mind and ears that I'll be diving into again and again!” --Howard Alden, Grammy-nominated 7-string guitarist and recording artist.
