The Standards and the not-so-Standard

This book featured piano and guitar reductions of some of the most famous pop tunes of the Swing Era. The music is primarily accompaniment for vocals, though. Only "Air Mail Special" and "In the Mood" don't come with lyrics. That's great for singers, like me, but my friends who are pianists were disappointed by the lack of complexity in the accompaniment.
