1.0 out of 5 stars Not worthy of LTD January 4, 2007

By Clayton Duncan

Format:Paperback

The transcriptions are limited to on songs that Dexter composed which means some of his greatest improvisations got left out. Not all, but most of the solos are incomplete. One even omits the first solo chorus and picks up with the second. Very dissapointing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Lead Sheets October 19, 2012

By John M.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Melodies and solos - Good lead sheets not personalized. Dexter always played his tunes straight. --- Of course there is some duplication with the play-alongs, in which the printing is perhaps preferable. But this book contains Cheesecake, The Stanley Steamer, Fenja and some others not included there.
