Solo Jazz Arrangements of Movie Music:
While the video isn't great, the audio will definitely give you a good idea of the incredible artistry of Hiroyuki (Tommy) Tominaga! I've been having a lot of fun learning two tunes from this book: Cinema New Paradiso Love Theme and Somewhere Over The Rainbow. In my opinion, either of those two tunes are well worth the price of this book.

NOTE:
All music books listed in this site are written in Japanese. However, you don't need to understand Japanese to read either the Tab nomenclature music notation. That said, some books are more user-friendly than others with some small amount of English used to describe the song titles, but some books don't even have that. Play a few bars, however, and you'll quickly know what is what.
