The Professional Touch [Paperback] Review

I buy lots of printed music, particularly piano arrangements, and I'd give this one an eight out of ten. Arrangements are full and moderately sophisticated without being ball busters. The book is good value for the price although I would have liked to have seen maybe 1/2 dozen more titles and maybe some more obscure tunes in the mix. The accompanying CD is an amazingly flat rendering of the tunes and you shouldn't have to work too hard to make them sound better than that - maybe that was the intention and, if so, it has succeeded.
