Summary of This Book
This volume from the BIG BAND PLAY-ALONG collection offers a selection of 10 Big Band arrangements of major standards, perfect for developing your jazz culture and rhythmic ease. Designed as a work tool that is both enjoyable and effective, this book + CD allows you to approach famous themes while immersing yourself in a "big band" aesthetic: placements, accentuations, swing feel, and understanding harmonic progressions.
The version presented here is in piano scores. It is an excellent choice for pianists who wish to strengthen their accompaniments, refine their reading skills, and become familiar with the language of standards.

This reference is also available for other instruments (tenor and alto saxophone, trumpet, trombone, guitar, drums, bass), making it an interesting resource for a jazz workshop, an ensemble class, or a multi-player "play-along" practice.
