Having used them in the past, when I thought their postal charges were a little too high, I find them now a pleasure to deal with. A rapid response resulted in me having the book in a couple of days after placing the order.

Mike Di Liddo: Easy Jazz Guitar- Voicings & Comping from Jamey Aebersold Volume 54 Maiden Voyage

Service
Product

Service rating : I was having difficulties placing my order via Jazzwise's website, something to do with my address or postcode, when after only a few minutes, my phone rang, and it was one of Jazzwise's helpful and happy chaps!!!!! He said he noticed my order attempts, and proceeded to take my order over the phone instead. He said that he would investigate and attempt to fix the problem. The book I ordered arrived the next day, even before they had sent the parcel dispatched notification/confirmation email.
Product rating : This book is part of the recommended course material required on the RACC Intermediate Jazz Guitar course. It's very good. You can't get it from anywhere else other than the USA.

Service rating : The website is informative and easy to navigate. The range of products available is huge
Product rating : This book is more or less essential to anyone learning the saxophone, although the writing is sometimes clumsy and some of the physiology is dubious. It is however the only publication I have come across which provides detailed information and practical help about breath control, use of the larynx, embouchure and tongue positions. Everything you need to know about how to improve the way you blow the thing.

The Herb Ellis Jazz Guitar Method: Swing Blues

  • The Herb Ellis Jazz Guitar Method: All The Shapes You Are
Service
Product

Service rating : Wish list :
" at the end of this material you should be able to ...

Play 3 jazz standard chord progressions all moveable shapes.
Write down the structure in AA B A sequence with USA chord notation
Transfer one of those chord progressions to a similar tune in AA B A.

Pre-requisites ...? What do I know.

Oh I fnally maybe have found in recent order : "All the shapes you are" + Herb Ellis

Its frustrating from all sources to learn guitar jazz or other. You can only look at the cover and give it a go. None have a real get started even though you cant read.

Can never give JW less than good because they are such nice people.

Not sure why same order delivered in two separate packages

Kenny Wheeler: Collected Works on ECM

Service
Product

Service rating : A great site, with a pleasingly large range of products available.
Product rating : I bought this book solely for The Sweet Time Suite, as it was advertised as including the full score for this work. However, only parts 1-4 are included, and not the final three movements, which was a great disappointment. Customers should be made aware that only the first four parts are included in the book to avoid any further disgruntlement.

Service rating : have previously subscribed to magazine so used site principally to renew subscription
Product rating : Very happy to renew subscription. However not so happy to have to pay Royal Mail £1.50 because the magazine did not have sufficient postage (-50p) which also (greedily) incurred a "Handling Charge" of £1.
Have emailed Jazzwise but to date have received no reply and I will be really less than happy if they do not bother to reply

Service rating : Excellent magazine which provides hours of enjoyment. Well written and well organised. Price seems appropriate as this magazine is well printed with many colour photos. Provides an excellent view of what's happening in (mainly) modern jazz in the UK today, and through interviews, photographs & articles, the latest in Europe and the USA. Makes me feel 'in touch' with developments in jazz. Prompt reviews of the latest recordings on release in the UK. Good range of reviewers with a wide range of taste & experience in the music.
Not sure about 'The Colonel' and 'Art Failure' features - appear out-of-place in this magazine's style.
Particularly enjoy the 'Taking Off', 'Turning Point', 'The Player', and 'Books/DVD- Live reviews', 'Gigs guide' 'Charting the Jazz Message CD/LP listings' and 'Letters' pages. All part of what is the magazine's strongest point - Jazz is ALIVE and kicking ! and it smells good ! (Sorry, Frank). I look forward to its arrival every month.
Product rating : Firstclass service. Very helpful on phone.

Service rating : A unique and highly valuable organisation
Product rating : Great magazine, articles and reviews are spot on. I didn't give an "excellent" rating for the following reasons: letters page is superfluous, and the letters usually just boring rants; the Colonel feature is unfunny, & detracts from overall tone; the listings pages are badly laid out, can't find anything easily. You could just drop all these and use the space for more interesting features.

They provide me with a service which is indespensible. I study jazz, I do not have a personal tutor so jazzwise is my main source of information and help.

The range of study materials Jazzwise provide for all instruments is impressive. I have also received intelligent suggestions from staff members when I asked for an opinion on a possible purchase I might make.
