I love the way Oscar interprets a tune, so naturally I had to pick up this transcription book. This book includes the following 18 songs: A Child is Born, The Continental, The Girl from Ipanema, Gravy Waltz, I'm Old Fashioned, It Ain't Necessarily So, Little Girl Blue, Love is Here to Stay, Moanin', My One and Only Love, Noreen's Nocturne, On the Trail, Over the Rainbow, Place St. Henri, Rockin' Chair, Round Midnight, Stella by Starlight, and Sweet Georgia Brown.

Oscar's got far more "best" songs than these mere 18, but given the dearth of Oscar transcription books out there, I'm satisfied with this collection. There's also a nifty discography, which lets you know exactly what album and which version of a song is transcribed in the book.

The transcriptions are somewhat challenging to play (or at least to a novice player such as myself), i.e. if I start to learn "The Continental" now I'll eventually master it by 2012 - can't wait!
