Michael Buble

I, too, was suckered into buying this book expecting at least the "gist" of the amazing arrangements on Buble's album, and was bitterly disappointed. Arranging for my own big band, I have resorted to ear to recreate the exciting charts that audiences love (and expect) to hear whenever the...

name "Buble" is mentioned. In fact, I would point any potential purchasers to take a look on the internet at the many guitar tab websites that provide basic chords over lyrics - these are actually more useful than this publication, because at least you are not being distracted by incorrect rhythms, key signatures etc

Nice versions of songs; well written arrangements

Yes ! I am aware that when I purchase a particular artist's sheet music, it is Never written out note for note as we hear on their recording. The arranger or arrangers are not always willing to share that information. I would suggest learning how to improvise and using your...

ear more if you are an intermediate to advanced player..All the songs in this collection are basic arrangements to be worked with. You cant expect a complete arrangement for the entire band.. Give the tune a part of yourself and express it the way it wants to come out...get help on how to arrange or more theory. dont be afraid to work at this as it will eventually happen.. Good Luck!

I agree with Kevin Harvey, not even one of the songs in the songbook even begins to reflect the arrangements on the Michael Bublé CD. This is also true of their John Pizzarelli "Bossa Nova" Songbook where even the lyrics aren't the same. I had better luck with the...

Jamie Cullum Book.

As a pianist and vocalist for over 25 years, I used to expect only the highest quality in printed music from Hal Leonard. Unfortunately, this songbook does not live up to my expectations. Not even one of the songs in the songbook even begins to reflect the arrangements on the...

Michael Bublé CD. Instead, Hal Leonard has compiled standard, run-of-the-mill renditions of these songs and has chosen to market them as a Michael Bublé songbook. In my opinion, this borders on false advertising. Yes…all of the “titles� are there, but none of the actual Michael Bublé “arrangements� seems to have found its way into this songbook. This is a songbook with arrangements that are pedestrian, unexceptional, nondescript and quite unlike Michael Bublé, whose arrangements are innovative, extraordinary and remarkable. I must say that I am surprised that Mr. Bublé’s managers have allowed Hal Leonard to publish such trash. If Hal Leonard is not ashamed of this publication, they ought to be.
