Eight jazz classics transcribed as they were played by legends Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, Luis Bonfa, Barney Kessel, and Johnny Smith. This book also includes a CD with two tracks for each song: one at a practice tempo and one at performance speed. Songs include: Body and Soul • A Day in the Life of a Fool (Manha De Carnaval) • Do Nothin' Till You Hear from Me • Don't Get Around Much Anymore • Midnight Sun • Moonlight in Vermont • There Will Never Be Another You • Whisper Not.

This book of solo guitar arrangements/transcriptions is based on recordings of some the great jazz players of our time such as Joe Pass,Wes Montgomery, Luis Bonfa, Johnny Smith, and Barney Kessel. In all these scores, the melody, chords and solos were transcribed as closely to the recordings as possible. Notes were added to the performances, mostly in the bass line, when the need was there to make the chart playable as a solo guitar performance. The forms of the tunes were limited to 4 pages. The playing level of the charts should be challenging for the beginning and intermediate player but playable and even creative enough for the most advanced players. It is encouraged that you listen to the original recordings, but a midi file practice CD is provided with two versions of each chart on the CD, one slow and one at 'full speed', to help the student interpret the charts.
 

Manha de Carnival ( A day in the life of a fool) as recorded by Luis Bonfa on Smithsonian Folkways Recordings SOLO IN RIO 1959. This chart is an exact transcription of the nylon string guitar recording of this classic tune.

Do Nothin' Till You Here From Me as recorded by Joe Pass on Pablo Records, 1975
PORTRAITS OF DUKE ELLINGTON
The melody and chords are taken adapted from this recording along with one verse of solo and an ending that Joe plays in his own particular way. Joe plays solo lines and melody mostly but the chart written here adds chord voicings to make the solo fuller for a solo guitar interpretation.
 

Don't Get Around Much Anymore as recorded by Joe Pass on Pablo Records, 1975

PORTRAITS OF DUKE ELLINGTON
This chart was written with the same approach that was used to write the previous chart adapted from Joe Pass.

Moonlight In Vermont as recorded by Johnny Smith on Roulette Jazz, 1952

Moonlight in Vermont A beautiful ballad played by Johnny Smith, this chart is the full form of the song with adaptations from the guitar solo including all the harmonies and nuances of his ballad style. This is great chart that really elevates this tune beyond the real book versions.
 

Body and Soul as recorded by Wes Montgomery on JazzBank, 1964 Navy Swing

The piano harmonies are combined with the melody interpretation by Wes to create this chart for solo guitar. A solo is added, filled out to make a solo guitar performance. The outro that Wes plays is also written in the chart.

There Will Never Be Another You as recorded by Wes Montgomery on JazzBank, 1964 Navy Swing

This chart was written with the same approach that was used to write the previous chart adapted from Wes.

Whisper Not as recorded by Wes Montgomery on Riverside, 1959 The Wes MontgomeryTrio

This cool swing tune is charted here by combining the melody with the harmonies of the organ. One solo verse taken from Wes's solo is added to the chart to provide creative options on how to play over these changes.

Midnight Sun as recorded by Barney Kessel on Contemporary, 155 "to swing or not to swing"

This ballad chart is an adaption of the melody played as a single line and the harmony of the piano part along with one verse of solo adapted in a similar fashion.
