The Best Jazz Standards Ever
While the selections are terrific and some are not found in other collections, the arrangements are easier than I expected or wanted. A jazz collection should have jazz arrangements.

Review of Best Jazz Standards Ever
A really good group of standards. It has some great guitar chords, and the overall layout of the music and lyrics are easy to read. One of the best productions of this kind I've seen.

I just love it!
This is a great collection because of the variety of composers represented and the songs that were selected. The arrangements are harmonically beautiful, easy to follow and just jazzy enough to sound good even if you're a rusty (and lazy) pianist as I am. I don't think I'll ever tire of this book. It even lies flat so that you don't have to fight with it to keep it open!

This is what you call JAZZ :-)
It's not easy to find any good jazz sheet music. I would say that this book will give you a great background to play these pieces. The transcription is very good, but if you add something from yourself it will be just awesome. E.g. this old beautiful standard "These foolish things' is a little bit to basic here, but try to add a few notes and it will sound really great. Anyway, that book is certainly worth buying. Enjoy it!
