The versatile Howard Alden played all of the solo acoustic guitar parts for the movie, as well as coaching Mr. Penn to play guitar for his role for which he received an Oscar nomination, best actor . This book contains note-for-note transcriptions in both standard notation and tab of Howards Django-esque interpretations and improvisations of classic standards of the 1930s, as well as original solo guitar pieces written by Woodys longtime musical director, jazz pianist Dick Hyman. Sweet and Lowdown contributed greatly to the recent renewal of interest in and revival of swing and gypsy jazz guitar.
