Very interesting book. Provides history and knowledge of Jazz Music. Only downfall is that this rental does NOT come with the CD. For the class that I was taking, the CD was necessary. You can look up most of the songs.
The book is supposed to come with two CDs, but my brand new copy did not.The book has a large number of specific songs that were relevant to the creation of and illustrate different styles of jazz.
Per my instructors instructions we were to purchase this book and the cds were supposed to come with it. Extremely disappointed.
great product but didnt have the CDs in the book. supose to be included. would like to hear the lessons that are in book.
I got the right book and everything. But, this book is suppose to come with a CD set and it was not stated that it does not which really bothered me.
Bought this book for a Jazz History course I was taking. Book delivered late AND did not come with the CD which was required for my course
Saved a lot of money buy renting it :)But I wish it came with the CD
very good
