These books feature fantastic American standards in new arrangements designed to flatter any singer, with interesting harmonies and accompaniments. The arrangements are in the spirit of the performance tradition of great standards established by singers such as Tony Bennett, Rosemary Clooney, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Peggy Lee. Keys have been carefully chosen and will be comfortable for most voices. The books contain arrangements for voice and piano accompaniments, and a section of "fake book"-style editions of the arrangements convenient for performing. The companion CD includes wonderful performances of each song by a singer backed by piano, bass and drums, as well as trio accompaniment tracks only for practice or performance. Songs include "All the Things You Are," "Autumn Leaves," "Call Me Irresponsible," "East of the Sun (And West of the Moon)," "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," "I'll Be Seeing You," "In a Sentimental Mood," "Isn't It Romantic," "The Very Thought of You," "The Way You Look Tonight."
