The clips of each of the songs analyzed in the book are available to listen to here.  Selecting only a few moments to sample among a lifetime of great recordings from these players was extremely challenging.  You must, I repeat must listen to the entire track (and albums) to get the context of the piece and really understand the style in order to be able to duplicate it.  I highly encourage you to purchase either the individual track or the albums from which these clips came, which is linked in the AUDIO STORE tab above.
