Eric:
You weren't specific about wheter you were looking for jazzTHEORY texts or jazz HISTORY materials:
In the former category,I'd recommend:
Jazz Theory .. Mark Levine
The Complete arranger .. Sam Nestico ..
any of the Jerry Coker books on improvising
and the Kenny Werner book ( not sure of the exact title, but it's something regarding 'Endless Mastery " .. )
For historical stuff;
Gary Giddins, Chris Albertson, and Gene Lees have all written great bookss covering many areas ..( I particularly liked Lees' "Meet me at Jim and Andys" ..an old NYC watering hole )
