Hello,

I'm trying to find a book with a piano arrangement for 'Take the A Train'.

The book ' The Best of Jazz (World's Greatest Piano Solos)' (Publisher: Hansen House) have it, but I cannot find it in the stores.

Do you know any other book with the same arrangement or similar one?

Thank you so much,

Tal.

Yes - this is the book - thank you. I will try to translate the page to English and will check if they can send it to Israel.

Do you know some other books with this song?

Check the top of your computer screen when you are on that page, you may have a box to click on for a translation.

You can find "Take the A Train" in lots of jazz books, but are you looking for this particular arrangement?

If so, do you know who the arranger is?

Hi,

The arranger is Jim Progris. Do you any site in which I can search a book according to a song?

Looks like it might be in this book, but I'm not sure.

Check out the middle of this page where it says "The Music of Duke Ellington".
