A hands-on, first-of-its-kind workbook which encourages practice of this often-overlooked aspect of jazz piano playing. It provides specific suggestions and chord voicings for each tune; CD features both demonstration and play-along tracks. Instrumentation: piano

A unique feature for your tenor saxophone soloist. In typical McNeely style the writing in this chart grows and develops in an organic, natural manner.
