"In this book Dave, and a hand picked group of great session players, treat you to a recording session as if you were on the L.A. 1st call "A" list. Each tune is described, then there is a short "talk down" of the tune--like you would experience in a real recording session. The charts are the real deal, and Dave treats you as a peer as he prepares you to run the charts. The tunes are widely varied and it's a blast to play with these GREAT players! Really, this one is one of the best!"
