Pure Joy Playing These Classics!
I absolutely love this collection! It's so much fun to sit down and play these timeless songs from the Great American Songbook. The inferred difficulty makes it perfectly achievable for a weekend player like me, and the arrangements truly capture the essence of the original recordings. A wonderful way to relax and enjoy familiar tunes at the piano – highly recommend for enjoyment!

Excellent Resource for Developing Pianists
As a piano teacher, this collection is invaluable. The clear engraving quality and well-arranged pieces make it excellent for intermediate students exploring the Great American Songbook repertoire. It exposes them to diverse styles and helps with sight-reading and understanding classic harmonies. A fantastic resource for developing musicianship, especially for those learning rhythm and expressive playing!

Gig-Ready Standards Collection
Essential for any gigging musician! This comprehensive book provides over 100 standards from the Golden Age with accurate chord symbols, making it quick to adapt for requests. The P/V/C arrangements are solid and standard enough for professional use. While its 320 pages make it a substantial volume, having this many core tunes in one place is incredibly practical for any event.

Solid Accompaniment for Vocalists
This songbook is a treasure for collaborative pianists and vocal coaches. The piano accompaniment texture is supportive and well-voiced, providing a rich harmonic foundation without overpowering the singer. With over 100 standards, the clear vocal melody lines and varied repertoire make it ideal for teaching phrasing and interpretation across different vocal ranges. A valuable addition to any coach's library.

Great for Mom's Nursing Home
To pass the time at Mom's nursing home, I play for her and her friends but I did not have songs from their generation until I got this book. They know them all!

Old Songs but Goodies
This book is one that I ordered because of a few songs it contains. It has brought joy to my life since I can still manage the music without too much difficulty.
