You can listen to a short part of most of the songs (mp3). On this demo there is the melody to hear. Don't worry, on the CD there is no melody (except for play alongs for drummers)
You get access to our sheet music databank with notations of over 1200 songs. It's the same style as the "real book" or "fake book"
These notations are not copies from the realbook. Not at all. Nowhere else you can find something of the kind. Transcriptions, piano voicings, bass phrases aso.
