Things to consider

Start with Volume 1 if you're new to the Approaching the Standards method; the series builds progressively. Make sure you have the conductor score and rhythm section parts if you're working with an ensemble, not just individual instrument books. The online audio is essential to this method—hearing the standard and learning how to interpret it over the changes is central to the approach.
