Hi Will, 
 
As you know, I'm a huge fan of yours and can't wait for this one! I've  
been acquiring a lot of the Hal Leonard Book/CD Jazz  play-alongs and this will 
make a very welcome addition to my  collection. All of the Jazz CD/Books 
are just fabulous to learn  and play along with, but unfortunately since there 
are almost no  harmonica CD's among them I've been buying those for Tenor 
or Alto Sax, flute,  piano and guitar up till now 
 
 
 What a fantastic choice of you for these great jazz standards on  
chromatic, nearly every one a song I love. Problem is, now that I've  been listening 
to the first of the tracks I want the book/CD NOW! <G> 
 
It's going to be tough to wait - your 'Wonderful World' especially is just  
gorgeous, btw.
 
 
Elizabeth

Hal Leonard to release book of Jazz solos by Will  Galison




Friends,


Hal Leonard asked me to compose a  book of Jazz solos on standard tunes. I 
have finished the recordings and am in  the process of transcribing in 
standard notation and harmonica  tab.


Basically, this is a jazz CD with transcriptions, but I will be  available 
online to answer questions about technique and theory behind the  solos. 
Funnily enough, it's the closest I've come to making a straight Jazz CD,  even 
though the solos were recorded over pre- existing tracks. 


My  intention is not to have people play my solos but to provide ideas for 
jazz  improv on the harmonica, that players can incorporate into their own  
improvisations. The book should be out in the next few months


The  songs on the CD are:


Satin Doll


Autumn  Leaves


Lullabye of Birdland


Wonderful  World


Someday my Prince Will Come


Meditation


My  Funny Valentine


Georgia




Satin Doll, Lullabye of  Birdland and Wonderful World are available to hear 
on my website

Thanks  for checking this  out
