"A unique collection of jazz arrangements by the great Chuck Israels, who has spent many years honing his jazz arranging skills, besides being a legendary bassist with Bill Evans, Stan Getz, George Russell, etc.
The song list includes:
• Jazz-oriented lead sheets for Tin Pan Alley songs, like "The Man I Love","You Made Me Love You","Always","Bye Bye Blackbird" and many more.
• Traditional Americana tunes, but given new life with Chuck Israels' hip, jazz sensibility - like "Shenandoah","Wayfaring Stranger", and "Careless Love."
• Tunes that you and your audiences will recognize but have never been given jazz interpretations before. For example, please listen to "School Days","Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair","What'll I Do", etc. in the sample songs below.
• A half-dozen songs with more elaborate, three-voice arrangements, good for more concert-like situations."
