This is the only jazz melody book I could find on the Beatles music, which is notoriously difficult to arrange in a jazz style. So far, I have been very pleased - the arrangements are reasonably challenging, but retain the character and style of the originals - the chord extensions and substitutions emphasize the simplicity and directness of the melodies, rather than obscure them. The arranger - Bill La Fleur - has excelled. Not a beginner's book, but very accessible. The 23 tunes contained in the book are:
All My Loving
Blackbird

Good Night
