Title: A very challenging collection of standards
Review: I bought this book because there's a nice transcription of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes from the Platters.Some of the chord progressions are very difficult, even for an intermediate/advanced player. The fingerings are quite challenging and I find it really hard to keep things flowing between chords. Despite the level of difficulty, these arrangements are suited for living room performance at best. The chord progressions sound very full but you'll have to add a bit of your own to spice things up.There is no CD with this book, which makes it even trickier for players whose primary style isn't jazz.
