Great for studying solos by one of the greatest jazz musicians in history. Miles concepts fo soloing are amazing. Must study great for trumpet players and clarinet players that want to learn about jazz.
Its about time this book came out, and its also about time it came out in Bb. Why a book of trumpet solos was only initially released in concert key is beyond me - tons (50) of tunes, including the heads, w/ songs spanning all eras, transcribed w/ Miles' inflections, as well as the solos - this book is awesome !
These are great transcriptions in the Hal Leonard tradition. The Miles Davis Omnibook is a great complement to the faster paced Charlie Parker Omnibook. The rhythmic notations are challenging and rewarding if you can play them as written. To play this music is to appreciate the genius that is Miles Davis. Once you can play some of the pieces in the Charlie Parker and Miles Davis Omnibooks, you can move on to try your hand at improvisation against say a backing track on "How to Play Jazz and Improvise" by Jamey Aebersold.
