An extended private lesson in arranging with Sammy Nestico! Very clearly written, it speaks to the student preparing to write a first arrangement about fundamentals and to the advanced/professional writer about vocal accompanying, woodwind writing, scoring for strings and harp, and much more. I have never read a more insightful book on jazz arranging – Gary Lindsay, Director of Studio/Jazz Writing, University of Miami
