Not a collection for the masses or the weak of heart, but for anyone interested in jazz clarinet or anyone interested in getting a look into the musical mind of Buddy DeFranco, this book is wonderful. The (chord) changes are accurate (at least in the the pieces I've looked at so far) and to see how DeFranco realizes them is truly fantastic, especially when you think that his solos were played in real time.
