Take the Lead is a terrific series of books for all instrumentalists,
young and old. Eight jazz classics are arranged for each instrument as
stand-alone solos, or all the instruments can play together. Each song
includes chord symbols in concert pitch for use by piano or guitar, or
the player can use the full backing track from the CD as accompaniment.
The CD also includes tuning notes and full version demonstration tracks
of each song to help each musician learn the song. It's a great
all-around package at a great price, and perfect for the band student
who is looking for more music to play, especially as an introduction to
jazz.
