I am trying to teach myself jazz and have alot of Lee Evans instruction books. I am stuck on his interpretation of a tetrachord. He refers to lower jazz tetrachord in C major as A - C - D -Eflat. The Upper Jazz Tetrachord is E natural - G - A - B flat. Tetrachords in classical music are whole, whole, half step configuration. Can anyone enlighten me on the formation of a Jazz tetrachord. Your reply would be much appreciated.

Does anyone know of any jazz forums that I could join. Need alot of help as I am self taught.

I strongly recommend you "the jazz piano book" from Mark Levine.

I agree.
Have a look at this:
