All aspiring jazz players find themselves at a point in their development where they are ready to go from playing right notes to actually playing meaningful solos.

It's specifically designed to build upon the knowledge you already have and to improve your understanding and skills as a soloist. The 2 Play-A-Long CD's include selected tracks from Aebersold Play-A-Longs coordinated with exercises and solo examples played on a separate channel and notated in the book. All parts in the book are transposed for all instruments. Useful for both private and classroom settings. Expanded version includes a 3rd CD (CD ROM) with pdfs of over 150 pages of additional transcribed solos from the CD's transposed for C, Bb, Eb, and bass clef instruments.
