Great Book
Dad loves this book, we bought it for him for Xmas this year and he says he loves it because it has lots of music that he has been wanting but not able to find at the local bookstores.

Opinionated Music Lover
If you are a fan of American Popular music as I am, then this book contains a nice representation of our music in the 30s and 40s. Music is my life, and this book contains nothing that I didn't already have. But it is a nice collection of some of the biggest numbers that reflect, maybe shaped, the musical footprint of our nation in those two decades. It is convenient to have these wonderful songs in one book. And if you dont have these standards, then you need to get this book.

You can play the great swing band numbers printed
I am 72 and play a digital keyboard for my own pleasure. Playing the full chords on the left hand and single notes on the right I can sound very professional,with the various bands following right along. The scores are clear and easy to follow.

Fun to play, no difficulty
This book is a great collaboration of songs, most of which I did not already have in my large piano music collection. Although they are very fun to play and sing, do not expect to have to work on the songs. This is a great book for pianist of any level!
