Description
Sing 16 of the world's most beloved jazz standards in the style of legendary vocalists like Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Etta James, Eileen Rodgers, Barbra Streisand, Sarah Vaughan, and more! This deluxe package (songbook plus online media) provides everything you need to arrive at auditions and performances completely prepared, whether your accompaniment will be live or pre-recorded. If a pianist is present, hand them the complete piano/vocal sheet music. (Chord fingering grids are also provided for optional guitar accompaniment.) If recorded accompaniment is required, the fully-orchestrated audio tracks will lend a professional touch to your performance. Vocal demonstration tracks are also included for each song. Titles: Anything Goes * At Last * Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered * Cry Me a River * Don't Rain on My Parade * Dream a Little Dream of Me * Embraceable You * I Get a Kick out of You * Misty * My Funny Valentine * Over the Rainbow * Someone to Watch Over Me * Summertime * They Can't Take That Away From Me * Whatever Lola Wants * When I Fall in Love.

With Vocal Complete, the sheet music matches the original key and form of the backing tracks, so if you practice singing with one, you won't encounter unexpected variations with the other. Upload the tracks to your portable music player for practice, performances, auditions, parties, or even singing for fun in the car! There are two versions of every song on the recording: a full-performance track with sound-alike vocals for listening and learning, and a professional-quality backing track for singing along. Also included for a Mac or Windows-based computer, the TNT (Tone 'N' Tempo) Changer lets you customize the key and tempo of each track to suit your voice and style. (The key changer modifies audio playback via computer only. The sheet music remains in its original key.)
"If you love performing classic jazz standards, you need to have this book in your music bag. I know I'll be using it for my next audition."

More about this title

Why we love this

The dual-track format (full performance and rhythm section only) lets singers choose their learning pathway, whether they want to shadow a pro or carve out space to make the song their own. Sixteen standards means a real audition-ready toolkit, and matching the sheet music to the original keys and forms of the backing tracks eliminates the friction that often derails unprepared performers. The inclusion of both piano/vocal scores and chord grids makes this genuinely usable whether your rehearsal space has a pianist, a guitarist, or just a music player.

What to expect

Stepping into the shoes of Ella, Sarah Vaughan, and Barbra Streisand, with studio-quality orchestrations that feel both intimate and polished. The 16 standards span sophisticated ballads, witty comedic numbers, and torch songs that let you explore the full emotional and technical range of the jazz vocal tradition.

Who it's for

Jazz singers preparing for auditions, recitals, or performance who want professional accompaniment options and guidance from the recorded demonstrations. This works equally well for singers who have regular piano or guitar accompanists and those who rely on pre-recorded tracks.

How to get the most out of it

  • Reference the vocal demonstration tracks first to absorb phrasing and interpretation, then gradually reduce reliance on them as you internalize each melody and lyric.
  • Use the rhythm-section-only versions in rehearsal so you can focus on breath placement, dynamics, and emotional arc without shadowing the demonstration singer.
  • If performing live with a pianist, rehearse multiple times with them using the sheet music so both of you can negotiate tempo flexibility and stylistic choices together.
  • When auditioning with recorded tracks, do a full run-through with the audio beforehand in the actual audition space to check levels and sound quality.

How to use it

These songs anchor jazz recitals, jazz vocal showcases, or cabaret-style programs where you want a cohesive collection of crowd-pleasing standards. You can also draw individual selections for mixed repertoire concerts if you want to include one or two jazz numbers alongside art songs or musical theatre.

Skills your students will build

  • Interpreting jazz phrasing, swing, and swing-eighths
  • Matching pitch and stylistic interpretation to a recorded accompaniment
  • Working from lead sheets with chord symbols
  • Building audition confidence with professional-quality tracks
  • Understanding the context and style of classic jazz standards
  • Balancing vocal flexibility within a fixed arrangement
