Take the Lead: Jazz

"Take the Lead" is a terrific series of books for all instrumentalists, young and old. Eight jazz classics are arranged for each instrument as stand alone solos, or all instruments can play together in various combinations. Each song includes chord symbols in concert pitch for use by piano or guitar, or the player can use the full backing tracks from the CD as accompaniment. The CD also includes tuning notes and full version demonstration tracks for each song to help each musician learn the song. It's a great all-around package at a great price, and perfect for the band student who is looking for more music to play, especially as an introduction to jazz.
