It's specifically designed to build upon the knowledge you already have and to improve your understanding and skills as a soloist. The 2 Play-A-Long CD's include selected tracks from Aebersold Play-A-Longs coordinated with exercises and solo examples played on a separate channel and notated in the book. All parts in the book are transposed for all instruments.

Useful for both private and classroom settings. Expanded version includes 168 pages of additional transcribed solos from the audio CD's in a third CD of printable pdfs (all transposed for your key)! The large, information-packed, book is 276 spiral bound pages and includes transposed parts for Bb, Eb, and Bass Clef instruments. This popular book has become a classic! Testimonials are many about how this book is helping musicians who feel they're on a 'plateau' in their development! Highly recommended.
