I'd ask you keep such lewd thoughts to yourself : profanity and now this...I despair

Nice moustache...

It’s the Dukoff

Glad you solved it, Zugzwang— the case of the hidden CD! My copy of the book (with the one CD) seems to be a later edition judging by the cover. It's a great book, but Bob looks to be a wee bit older on my copy.

That's Lionel Richie pretending to be Bob...no fooling me 😡

Different book in the same series.

Yes, without checking I think there are four. Different difficulty for each but all have great tunes and backing tracks

I really like this series of books and tracks. I was lucky enough to get 4 from a teacher who was retiring and selling her stuff off for charity. I got 12 Contemporary Jazz Etudes, 14 Blues & Funk, 14 Jazz & Funk and 15 Easy Blues.

I also have that one with the older Mr Mintzer (can just see the curve of the giveaway red 15 in your pic...) You still get to keep your prize, because you gave me the courage to break the seal on this one

There's a long discussion from a couple of years ago about this book:

Playing the saxophone - Intermediate level: Bob Mintzer Etudes (Blues and Funk)

(Edit) I don't mean for this to be only about me. What is your experience with methods like this? Did you go through in order or cherry pick? Did it help your sight reading skills? My "review": I just got this book and 2 CD set and I am of two minds. First, I'm blown away by how valuable it...

Of course!—it's a different book. Doh! But thank you, because I can now track it down and buy it. (Hopefully with the discs in it, however concealed.)
All's well . . .
