Tastefully done jazz arrangementsBy K.K.Slider Fan ClubI agree with the other reviewer who mentioned that these chord melody arrangements are somewhat overworked. These chords are very full and your fingers will get quite the workout. Advanced players can insert their own chord substitutions here or there. The good thing about this book overall is that the songs are tastefully done and you will sound like one sophisticated cat. Gives me a good launching point for my own soloing. Songs are in standard notation and guitar tablature.The 35 Songs included in this book:-Angel Eyes-Autumn in New York-Body and Soul-Call Me Irresponsible-Dancing on the Ceiling-Dont Get Around Much Anymore-Easy to Love (Youd Be So Easy to Love-Fly Me to the Moon-The Gift (Recado Bossa Nova)-Honeysuckle Rose-How Deep Is the Ocean (How High is the Sky)-I Could Write a Book-I Dont Stand a Ghost of a Chance-Ill Remember April-In a Mellow Tone-In the Wee Small Hours of the morning-Just the Way You Are-The Lady Is a Tramp-Midnight Sun-Mood Indigo-My One and Only Love-My Shining Hour-Nature Boy-On a Clear Day (You can see Forever)-Polka Dots and Moonbeams-Skylark-Solitude-Speak Low-Take the "A" Train-There is no Greater Love-Well be Together Again-Where or When-Witchcraft-Youd Be So Nice to Come Home to9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Professional Jazz arrangements for the soloistBy NigelIn this book;in standard notation and in TAB; are very accurate and rich arrangements of the great jazz classics from the 20s through the 50s. The original keys are preserved. The player moves from one 4 or 5 note chord to the next with each melody note and it is not unusual to go from the 3rd position to the 10th in one single measure. However; the chords; once mastered are very guitar player friendly and flow logically in terms of finger position. The arrangements make sense in terms of the music and the guitar and they are not watered down for the novice nor overly difficult for the sake of diffculty. You can always add a few bass notes or drop a chord for a single note run if you wish. The arrangements leave some space for you to do that. Actually; Yelin in the forward says he intends the player to learn from these arrangements and perhaps become inventive. These books are for players whith a lot of playing experience who need some clean no-nonsense arrangements of great golden age jazz tunes to be played by the soloist. Well here they are in a 5 volume series. If you are a guitarist who is comfortable all over the fingerboard and has no issues knotting and unknotting fingers for jazz chords; these books are for you. (ie. Professional Level).5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Includes Words and Original MelodyBy M. D. BellI agree with the other reviewers - a great collection of standards; well arranged. The songs also have the words; original chords and melody line; as well as the chord solo arrangement in both standard notation and tab - the book also functions as a fake book. Even at full price; this is a great deal.
