    • Solid, Accurate Transcriptions of Great Performances
Of course, I'm an amateur, so I can't play everything in the book as written. However, everything I've played (or read while listening to the music) is accurate, and includes notation for bends, palm key usage, etc. There are about 20 or more songs in this collection. A few are from the Billie Holiday recordings. Many more are from "Complete Decca Recordings" of Count Basie and "The Complete Aladdin Recordings" of Lester Young. If you own these two collections, you will have the recordings of over half the songs in this book. I also have the Coleman Hawkins Collection from this publisher. Most of it is WAY beyond my abilities right now. Much of this material is, too, but it seems more attainable. ... show more

    • Much better than expected.
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

    • Very nice!
Love Lester Young! All the transcriptios are accurate and is print real well and easy to read. Just really awesome now I can see his solos on paper.

    • Lester is still leaping in.
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
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.
