Really greatly appreciated collection but when I first opened it to see the print quality, it opened to Giant Steps starting with a C-flat chord. (Cb - D - G - Bb7). I don't think I have ever seen a Gb and F# in the same measure for the same note before, much less a Cb in a key signature of C. They should have someone who plays a C instrument review their transposition logic before they print it. The print quality is first class.
Great collection, but for the Cb chord at the beginning of Giant Steps, and blowing material notated to accord with it. From a company like Hal Leonard we should expect more than this kind of laziness in transposition from the Bb, which is presumably what their software did here. They don't hire human editors anymore?
waited here too for months for the omnibook in C. it does exist. one thing about it that took away from 5 stars is that it uses some en-harmonics.for keyboard players reading the Giant Steps changes the "usually notated" B is notated as Cb, F# as Gb.
Great transcription book of Coltrane playing Standards and his own Compositions.This is a well rounded collection of transcriptions!I wish Charlie Parker's Omnibook was like this!
