First Year Charts Collection for Jazz Ensemble: Piano (First Year Charts Collection for Jazz Ensemble) [Paperback] Review

Not what one would expect in a set of Jazz sheet music.
The notation is more difficult than it has to be with more ties
and excess notation about playing,and zero information on the
the chord structure.
It is more "pop" than jazz with several popular music themes
and tunes that can be called swing or bop or rock better.
The of Gmajor/ Eminor key in several places seems unnecessary as well
when the signature has only one sharp or flat.
For beginning student the lack of chord structure,
notation difficulty and keys seem to make this book one you might not want to teachJazz from?
