Great for Accompaniment and Vocal Insight
Although a trumpet solo book, this collection is invaluable for collaborative pianists. The inclusion of 'chord names' for each of the 24 standards provides a solid foundation for creating authentic accompaniments for a trumpeter. Furthermore, studying these transcriptions, especially those reflecting Chet Baker's 'vocal stylings,' offers excellent insight into jazz phrasing and melody for vocal coaching.

Excellent Resource for Intermediate Trumpet Students
This Chet Baker collection is a superb teaching tool. The 'intermediate' difficulty makes it challenging yet achievable for students transitioning to jazz standards. The 'easy-to-read format' of these artist transcriptions is clear for sight-reading and understanding phrasing. The meticulous note-for-note approach helps develop precise rhythm and articulation on the trumpet. Highly recommended for school and community use.

Finally Playing My Favorite Chet Baker Solos!
As an adult learner, I've always wanted to play Chet Baker's smooth lines. These 'note-for-note transcriptions' truly capture his unique West Coast cool jazz sound, even his vocal stylings adapted for trumpet! The 'intermediate' difficulty is a great goal, pushing me without being discouraging. It's so enjoyable to play these standards and feel like I'm really sounding like Chet. Pure relaxation and musical joy!

Mostly in C concert
Almost all the transcriptions are in C concert, so you'll be fine if you're playing them on the piano. If you want to play these on the trumpet (maybe along with the recordings, or with your own jazz trio), you'll need to transpose many of these. Note that at least some of the transcriptions are for Bb trumpet, in particular songs where Chet started off singing, and then soloed on trumpet. The singing part is in C concert; the trumpet solo is in Bb and no transposition will be necessary. But this is a tremendous collection. The transcription of Cherokee is of tremendous value.
