It offers many great ways for players to truly grow their skills, and also enjoy the fun process of learning to swing in a band! Get it now – you’ll thank me later!" — MATT GLASER Artistic Director, American Roots Music Program Berklee College Of Music "A wonderful and helpful work that will instruct young players who are learning about playing traditional jazz. Also a great refresher for musicians already established and playing this style of music." — VINCE GIORDANO Grammy-winner, Bandleader, Multi-instrumentalist Vince Giordano and The Nighthawks "This is the absolute next best thing to stalking world-class jazz musicians and pestering them until they allow you to sit in." — THE SYNCOPATED TIMES "This is the perfect way to get into playing jazz in a group. For players wanting the basics, it’s absolutely accurate and gives you an idea of what’s to come and what’s required to be a part of a group. For advanced players, it offers jamming with established pros, an ideal way to practice and learn. This is for all instrumentalists who want to be a part of our music, from traditional on up." — DICK HYMAN Pianist, Composer, Arranger NEA Jazz Master "You're IN The Band is the next-best thing to actual on-the-job training. It's an extremely practical and efficient way to learn how to play in a traditional jazz context." — KEN PEPLOWSKI Jazz Clarinetist & Saxophonist "The perfect vehicle for any aspiring traditional jazz musician…An absolute bargain." — JUST JAZZ MAGAZINE (England) "A hell of a lot of fun…. The play-along section is Habanera Hot...Very well worth the nominal investment." — ALL ABOUT JAZZ "I applaud the care with which you crafted everything! I love the simplicity of the lead sheets, leaving room for more advanced players to expand the harmonic options, and the accompaniment tracks are exactly what they should be. What a wonderful piece of work, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to work on trad jazz, soloing, accompanying, or playing in the ensemble. Bravo!!" — BILL DENDLE Director, Sacramento Traditional Jazz Camp "You’re IN The Band really delivers the goods in every way." — ALL FRETS MAGAZINE "You’re IN The Band offers the opportunity to develop, hone and master ones’ skills for playing jazz by using the best teaching technique known to date, actually playing IN the band.

My band couldn't believe you even thought of including charts in Bb and Eb." — Don W., Alabama "I really liked the variety of songs and the ability play solo with them. I had never played with a banjo before." —Joseph C, 13 years old, Chatsworth, CA "The book is brilliant. Far and away the best of anything else I've seen along these lines...Thank You. I especially like all the information in the first 30 or so pages and then sprinkled throughout the tunes." —R.L., Vermont "I am really enjoying YITB. I am learning new tunes to go along with my other lessons. I like the modern twist. This program is fun and different from other choices out there." —Sabrina R., 16 years old, Los Angeles, CA "Wow, what job you've done on the play-along. Applause is not adequate. You deserve a standing ovation." —Sheila W., Illinois "YITB, even though it's recorded tracks and not live jams, is REAL performance ear training, along with a huge amount of stuff they truly did not teach us in music school. Now you know why I'm so excited about it. Thank you!" —David L., New York, NY "I really love the information in the beginning of the book, and as a moderately inexperienced player, it was nice to be able to hear and see the music. The idea is great, and it helps me keep time, practice soloing, and strum consistently." —Lucy M., 17 years old, Sacramento, CA Fri, 12 Jun 2026 12:23 CST eric@banjohangout.org https://www.banjohangout.org/classified/90336 This book offers transcriptions of Elmer Snowden’s swinging jazz solos from his "Harlem Banjo!" album, along with biographical information and some rare photos/memorabilia.
