Summary of This Book

This book is designed as a true playing companion for all who love performing standards with a rich and motivating musical foundation. Thanks to the Audio, you are no longer alone facing your music stand: you play supported by orchestrated accompaniment, built to highlight the melody, pulse, and harmonic colors. It's an excellent format for working on intonation and note holding, as well as refining listening skills (entries, breaths, dynamics) and gaining ease over time.

The content takes you on a journey through jazz, swing, blues, songs, and popular classics, with instantly recognizable titles. You will find: Brésil, Calling You, C'est si bon, Desafinado, Deux petits chaussons, Georgia on My Mind, Hit the Road Jack, Le Sud, Les Feuilles mortes, Que reste-t-il de nos amours?, Rock Around the Clock, Stormy Weather, Syracusa, The Entertainer, Un soir de pluie. Plenty to vary styles, tempi, and moods, while keeping a constant goal: to play musically, with accompaniment that makes you want to play again.

Whether you're preparing for an audition, a concert, or simply a fun practice session, this "play-along" format encourages regularity and progress. It also helps approach interpretation with more confidence: once the piece is mastered with the Audio, you more easily transfer your reflexes to rehearsal or group playing. A collection to keep on hand to enrich your repertoire and rediscover, with each piece, the sensation of an orchestra by your side.
