Hi Mark,

>>I'm tempted by your offer. Would I be able to make good use of the
books without the recordings, as I no longer have a turn table either?

Absolutely! Who needs a record player when you have Composer?!
I would think they would also work very well with BIAB. You could use the chord progressions in the book and insert them into BIAB to play along, plus it would be in tune with your keyboard whereas a record player would be flat unless it was tunable. The book is loaded with common jazz licks ( I call them riffs ) and you can elaborate on them to compose your own jazz tunes. The books make extensive use of the Blues Scales and is the basis for endless improvisation. I think you would enjoy working with them.

Cheers,
Fred
