The books contain:

-Lead sheets to ten tunes, including two by Charlie Parker (Now's the Time and My little Suede Shoes) and one each by Mongo Santamaria and Ze' Luis Olivera.
-A great play-along CD with a really smokin' band.
-Graduated difficulty of charts and solos beginning with two tunes using one chord each.
-Transcriptions of nine Lipner solos for playing along with.
-Discussion of the elements, chord details ad solo ideas for each tune.
-A Hip mix of styles: Soca, Funk, Bossa, Samba and Swing.

These books will work for just about any musician wanting to get involved in improvisation, from the absolute novice, to educators at all levels and serious jazz players needing a chance to work out with a first-rate real band in a variety of styles.
