 no chord diagrams:is it a 5, a 6 or an 8? Oct 05, 2008
This series by Robert Yelin did not satisfy me in my quest to finding the best jazz guitar standards book. Although the transcriptions and the chords are very rich and interesting, they are difficult to read; you don't have the diagrams for the chords, and having often several chords per bar it is hard to read the changes: with the book on the stand, you don't know if it's a five, a six or an eight you're seeing! One of the best book I've come across is the Definitive Collection book of Django Reinhardt: you have chord diagrams beneath the title and the solo guitar tab beneath the standard notation. But two things: 1.you don't necessarily find the songs you want; 2. jazz standards have sometimes more interesting chord changes than Minor Swing or Limehouse Blues! Amore interesting collection is the one done by Jack GrasselJazz Guitar Standards: it has two recorded version of the standard (slow and fast) on a cd and a solo transcribed in tabs; with the chord's name you can make your own diagram. If someone finds a jazz guitar standards book with solo in tabs and chord diagrams, please tell me!

 Great book May 03, 2007
These jazz standards are for the most part direct arrangements in the original key, arrangements in which virtually every note is a complex jazz chord. No free "lead" riffs here. Just solid beautiful music. This is definately a five star book.
I do want to comment on the other reviewer's remark that it didn't get 5 stars because it had no CD. Nowhere on the book or on amazon is a CD promised. The reviewer knew it had no CD when he bought it and yet penalizes the book. What logic! It's like buying a Gibson L-5 guitar and then lowering the rating because it didn't come with an amplifier (though one was never offered in the first place)!

 For Advanced Players... Aug 01, 2006
Full disclosure: I am a player of moderate ability, who is just getting into jazz. The book is as advertised: "...contains 35 professional chord/melody arrangements for solo guitar." Yes, these arrangements are written for a professional player; in other words, if you can easily articulate four or more different, difficult jazz chord changes per bar of music, this work is for you. The tablature appears accurate, and the chord harmonization is very tasty. Just be prepared for a very difficult slog if you are not prepared for this level of work. If you are, the music is quite beautiful and will inspire you to create your own reharmonizations of famous standards. Song choice here is excellent. This would have received five stars if the publisher had included a CD recording of the pieces, both slow and at tempo versions.
