This is the best book I've read on jazz theory. Explains ideas very well, & has very good examples

This is THE book on Jazz harmony and theory

I got this book back in 1985 when I was attending Berklee College on Music in Boston, MA. This book covers everything in the Berklee harmony curriculum and more. It starts off very basic and goes on to analysis of real tunes, such as John Coltrane's "Countdown." It belongs in every Jazz musician's library. Highly recommended.
