These volumes of combo charts are available only on CD in PDF format. You will receive a CD containing all of the parts and scores for each song. These are all tunes written with novice improvisers in mind. They would also serve very well on jobs where gentle tunes, or "background music" is required. They are harmonized head charts requiring your improvisation to provide any substantive length.
