As in all of his albums, we've transcribed the note-for-note performances of Bob Zottola, providing you with the chords, lyrics and original melody line of each song, over which you can follow his improvisations. The songs are from the Great American Songbook, all Standards. The rendition of Stardust is a wonderful arrangement by Don Costa, originally created for Sinatra, of just the verse of this classic, perhaps the only verse only recording in history. As in all of Bob's albums, a complete discussion of each song and his approach to the song is provided with the album. Plus his actual improvisations and the original melody line, chords and lyrics.
