I really like these relatively easy jazz pieces. They all have titles about getting there such as Parachuting, Rock Jumping and my own favourite Riding an Ostrich. The backing track could be used to introduce some improvisations based on these themes, which gives the book much more mileage. Competitively priced, this is pretty good value.
Pieces in a variety of jazz styles, intended for live performances, perhaps at school concerts, rather than just for studying. Music to enjoy and share. The accompanying CD gives full performances as well as play-along, accompaniment-only tracks for practice.
