Recommended by the GSMD examination board. The classically-trained musician is often nervous about trying to improvise jazz. [Creative Variations] Volume 1 should allay those fears. Chord symbols and the relevant scales are given throughout, but the greated advantage has to be the CD; each piece is demonstrated with soloist and pianist, and then again without the soloist. The performances are short and fairly simple allowing you just to copy in the first instance. Recommended.

A welcome addition to the jazz play-a-long catalogue. For about the price of a Latte Massimo and a vegetable baguette with pesto at a motorway service station you get sax parts in Bb and Eb, a piano score and a real play-a-long CD. I love the way the composers have encouraged the pianist to embellish the accompaniment thus helping the sax player do the same. The tunes are very strong and original.
Wilson and Miles have shown they are a strong writing team and there is much here to recommend.
