Whats a good book on Jazz Composition methods?

[MarkMcBass]

Im looking to add more compositional formats and tricks to my arsenal. Anyone know of a good book on jazz composition? I know there are methods used from classical music that are also used in jazz, but Im looking for more.

Stupid link! Malcom did indeed get the one I meant. I thoroughly enjoyed working through the book, and have quite a few compositions that I'll record because of it.

The Ted Pease book is the one that we used as a supplement to three semesters of Jazz Composition classes at Berklee. Granted, the last chapters of the book are the focus of the 2nd two semesters, and there's only so much you can get on those really complex topics in the couple pages Pease devotes to them. However, you'll DEFINITELY have all the information you need to write tune-form compositions in a wide variety of styles, and the CD examples are really useful.
