Excellent selections; dark printBy sandra pearseExcellent selections; dark print; but binding (comb back) makes things difficult for photocopying pieces for performance (book is just too large for working musicians to use as a hands-on resource). A heavy-duty spiral binding would be preferred.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Im in loveBy shyane carterI love this book its my jazz bible.
