The CD features a professional jazz trio of piano, bass and drums.

      Excellent for true female jazz voices

      I'm not sure why all the complaints about the low registers - most of the great female jazz voices were altos. I thought this was great for my range - these aren't really the kinds of songs that sopranos should tackle anyway

      Disappointed

      Although this was advertised "For Women's Voices" ALL the songs were too low for my voice... 2nd soprano. It strained my voice and hurt my throat when I attempted to sing along. Will never use this book.

      Trio performance good

      Charts are pitched pretty low but good keys for most jazz singers. Arrangements are not overdone. Trio backup is nice for giving my vocal students a taste of "sitting in." Very useful for adult students who want something more sophisticated than kareoke.

      Beautiful ballads to enjoy singing.

      I purchased this book for my wife and she found it very comfortable to sing.
