The critics agree, MMO's Back to Basie is as good as it gets!
Music Teacher Magazine says: "This excellent book will be appreciated mostly by students who are making a serious study of jazz, but there is also plenty to be gained for players who aspire to playing jazz trumpet at any level... The band parts are marked in great detail, right down to accenting, articulation and type of mute, including open and closed plunger muting effects. The tempos on the CD are perfect and the easy Basie swing groove is infectious, creating the intended desire to play along."
