I made a mistake and erased the feedback to the seller, but anyway, I wanted to make a review!

I just started with the book but I can tell from the first examples and from looking at some sections quickly, that this is gem. The content is excellent and the audio examples that come with the book are great. A must-have for any serious student of arranging.

Amazing book!!!! Great service. Very fast!!! And Sammy Nestico signed it himself! Thank-you Sammy, for your music and for sharing your knowledge! Always a fan!

The Complete Arranger Revised Edition
Incredible arranger manual. Very neat, clear, amazing audio examples and to really get into the book, there's also a good part of analysis and understanding from the reader. It became an always suggested book to my fellows and colleagues.

As a professional music arranger, I think Sammys book is currently the best book on the market covering all the aspects of commercial and big band jazz arranging ( as well as some valuable information on writing for concert bands as well )

I have worked with other orchestration books before, and this one is superb in comparison, in both price and content. Has all the information needed for classical, orchestral, and jazz arranging. Great price as well. The book required in my orchestration class was $79. This was $50. Good deal. It seems like a lot, but there's SO MUCH INFORMATION. You seriously will not regret having this in your arsenal.

This product is amazing. This book covers all sorts of issues in writing for a jazz band including doubles, basic information on range and transposition, Part writing/chord voicing for each section, a chapter on symphonic band, and more. It is written by jazz ledgend Sammy Nestico and autographed.
