Right after "Is it a boy or a girl?" and "What's his/her name?," the next question people invariably ask new parents is "Are you getting any sleep?" Unfortunately, the answer is usually "Not much." In fact, studies show that approximately 25% of young children experience some type of sleep problem and, as any bleary-eyed parent will attest, it is one of the most difficult challenges of parenting.
Drawing on her ten years of experience in the assessment and treatment of common sleep problems in children, Dr. Jodi A. Mindell now provides tips and techniques, the answers to commonly asked questions, and case studies and quotes from parents who have successfully solved their children's sleep problems.
Unlike other books on the subject, Dr. Mindell also offers practical tips on bedtime, rather than middle-of-the-night-sleep training, and shows how all members of the family can cope with the stresses associated with teaching a child to sleep.

About this product: The book explains the scales to be used with different chords. And gives some patterns to be played over these scales. The first play-along track have chord progressions to go along with those pattern, so you can play along using those pattern. The pattern starts very simple to more complex ones. Of course you may also improvise freely over the same backing tracks, using notes from the given scales. The book further explains ideas about hwo to build a nice solo, and introduces the concept of tension and release.
While all well done, I have only rated it 3 stars. I play the guitar, and found that an introduction to jazz specificly written for the guitar was much to prefer, e.g. by providing ideas on fingering of different scales. I guess that this would be similar for most instruments. Morover the main part of the book has to be written three times for instruments of different tuing.
The book proceeds directly to a modal approach to improvising. Non of the backing track would allow imporivsations within one major scale. I guess that the author want to avoid the reader to get stuck in the diatonic approach (Using the same scale if all chords are derived from one common scale, as the chord progression for many songs is.) Still, this makes the initial learning curve steeper.
On the other hand, after studying other book, I found lots of useful ideas when I reconsidered this one.
