At last, a jazz play-along book for developing players! In addition to being a perfect introduction to some of the best-known jazz standards, Essential Elements Jazz Standards includes hints for improvising on each tune, a guide to jazz articulations, a scale/chord correlation chart, and biographical sketches of key jazz figures. And if that wasn´t enough, each tune comes with its own sample solo for reference or performance! The professionally recorded audio CD has tempo adjustment software for use in your computer.
