Thomas "Fats" Waller : The Great Solos, 1929-1937 [Paperback] Review

Simply put - this book is a monumental endeavor and no less of a tribute to "Fats". After long hours on end trying to pick out these fabulous solos myself with my all-too-imperfect musical ear, this work is adream come true. If only more musicians of this calibre would pick up thetorch as well and transcribe other solos for "Fats"(unfortunately, his marvelous rendition of "Tea for Two" is notincluded here), as well as other pianists (Art Tatum, for one)! Theaccuracy in transcription here is astonishing. Two copies are recommended,because you will be wearing the first copy out in no time!
