This book is a clear, simple way to learn how to play and improvise melodies over standard chords in Latin rhythms. There is material for students on several different levels. Each piece is presented in a basic lead sheet version first, with the melody and some simple harmonies written along with chord symbols. The second section of each piece is a portion of Jack improvised solo, transcribed note-for-note off the CD of the same name, with Jack preferred TAB notation.
