Buy it for the intros

This collection has a decent selection and pretty good written arrangements. A few chord errors, as is usual for a book of this type. The best thing about this book is that many charts contain the vocal introductions, which are sometimes hard to come by. Makes a nice addition to the Real Book for this reason.
Great for good pianists wanting to play Jazz
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I play bass in a Jazz trio with a piano player who was Classically trained. Her sightreeading chops are outstanding, but her Jazz instincts are non-existence. These arrangements give her the ability to play Jazz with us, all the while giving her experience in playing Jazz. Already her improv skills are improving and her swing feel is strong. Good book.
A decent Jazz compilation for the Intermediate Jazz pianist
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Some of the more popular tunes in this compilation are A night in Tunisia, Satin Doll, Sophisticated Lady and All the things you are. Missing out on classics like Take the A-train in lieu of several rather obscure tunes that aren't exactly Jazz standards, by my measure, is the book's greatest flaw. For the beginning to intermediate jazz student, its a nice book to own. All the songs are full arrangements and not too difficult to play. Advanced pianists will probably be happier with a nice, solid fakebook.
The Best Jazz Standards Ever
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is a good collection of some famous Jazz tunes, it does also have some less well known songs. This means you can play/sing your favourites and still enlarge your repetoire. Guitar chords are provided as well as the piano part and the vocal line with lyrics. There are some songs that I feel aren't strictly Jazz, though this can be taken that one can adapt more than the obvious songs.
