There is also a complete "how to" section that is a book in itself. The author has recorded each transcription in slow and fast versions on the audio. The book contains some of Charlie's best work including the Jam Sessions at Minton's, John Hammond's Spirituals to Swing concert and the Celestial Express Blue Note Recordings. Charlie Christian was the first to popularize the use of the electric guitar in jazz.
