Much better than expected.
Format: Paperback
Good-sized, clear notes. Much better than I expected. Not a weird hand-written jazz font. I went through and marked 175 short passages for practicing on the piano. I want to see what I can learn about Lester Young's note choice and phrasing. Eventually I might try to play some entire transcriptions. Good book. ... show more

Lester is still leaping in.
Format: Paperback
Fortunately I have recordings of most of these transcriptions and after multiple listenings I can attest to the accuracy of the notations. This is a tenor player's dream book, not to copy Prez note for note, but to actually see his brilliance as an improviser on paper.

Good book
Format: Paperback
You'll get to see how Lester worked his way into a tune. Good book for any improvisor. Sadly, some of my favourite tunes were not included.
