With standard notation (does not include words to the songs). Now, you can sound like the best too!
You will find a lot of these songs are old classics. A lot of these songs were arranged by George Shearing who is a 91 year old British jazz pianist who had the honor of performing for three U.S. presidents, and we also get some older classic arrangements by Fats Waller and Art Tatum. Many rare songs are included in this like Jitterbug Waltz or Coming to Virginia. The way these songs are arranged, you won't be surprised that these came off the pens of the professionals, everything flows together so well, with the advanced bass lines and chords. This is not for beginners at all. If you are a performer, this book would impress many people if played the way they were arranged. Definitely for the intermediate to advanced pianist.
For starters, its arrangers are mostly names most jazz fans will recognize and admire. 31 of its 100 songs are George Shearing arrangements ("Over the Rainbow," "Don't Blame Me." "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing," "Killing Me Softly," etc). Following is a list of most of the other big-name pianist/arrangers in this book and a sampling of the song titles associated with them.
