Unlike most jazz arranging books; which focus on the rudiments of arranging (transposition; ranges; notation; and so forth); this book deals with the real substance of arranging for small jazz ensembles; in addition to the rudiments. Rinzler devotes a chapter to each of the following arranging elements: intros; endings; accents/breaks/dynamics; time and tempo changes; style changes; form; rhythm section procedure; harmony and orchestration. Over a hundred musical examples demonstrate arranging techniques that apply to 147 jazz standards and modern compositions.

Five StarsBy MBHJames Jamerson at his best; accurate tabs; great tunes.3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Tab does not reflect the best way to play many of these tunes.By jjBig Jamerson fan here who plays by ear so I was looking for some tab to help with some of the tricky parts. A lot of the tab has you moving around the fretboard too much while it seems a lot could be accomplished; and was prob originally played; in the first position with open strings. Ill probably return this.
