Jazz Piano Solos Volume 6 Hard Bop PDF. 16 jazz classics from the ’50s and ’60s. Brent Edstrom writes very good solo piano arrangements, and this book has very good arrangements of very good tunes. There aren’t many tunes but the arrangements are generally extended with written-out solo choruses. If you are into hard bop you must get this book.
