jazz theory literature

i'm looking for some excellent books that deal entirely with jazz theory and jazz improvisation. i can't conceive of a book that would be too expensive, so give me anything. thanks a bunch.

    Dan Haerle has a nice book called "The Jazz Language" I found it for $16.99 @jazzbooks.com. Some of my improv instructors in college have taught out of this book. It is a great reference for jazz chords, harmony, scales, and chord-scale relationship. Good Luck Tracy

      the theory book im working on in school, which works on pretty much anything.. it doesnt really touch too much on improv i dont think.. but it gives you the most solid foundation possible and allows you improv through the knowledge you gain.. its called: Theory of Music the publisher is J. Weston Walch and the author is Richard T. Dasher it was somthin stupid like 20, 25 bux
