There’s a really good play-along i’ve recently bought that beginners/intermediates will find absolutely brilliant. It was unavailable in the UK, but I got it from. It contains whole transcribed piano parts from a professional pianist, and TWO CD’s (one with the pianist, one without).

Even for advanced players, it’s great to play along with the ensamble. Definately one-step up from the Aebersold playalongs, anyway.

I am taking a stab in the dark here. Maybe someone can help! I am looking for a CD or tape copy of three (3) marian McPartland Piano Jazz programs: William F. Buckley (yes, THAT guy), Richie Beirack and Henry Mancini. All three were guests on Piano Jazz and are the programs not available on commercial CDs. The originals are located at the Richard Rodgers Library of Recorded Sound, NY Public Library but they will not let you copy them. Perhaps one of this esoteric group copied them off the air?

I would very much like to get a copy of each! Sincerely, John Brooks.
