This is a good songbook if you don't know these songs at all, but what I was hoping for was Manhattan Transfer arrangements of them. For instance, their recorded cool version of "Body & Soul" in which they sing Coleman Hawkins's famous solo, has not only notes but words; the original version, the "head", isn't what they sing. I was hoping to see what they sang in print, hence, I thought, the title of this songbook; however, this book only has the original refrains of all of 'em! So if you were hoping to see what they actually sing, forget it; hope I just saved you money (that I spent.)
