Anyone remember Styles for the Studio? That was the other book I wore out.

I think that might be from the same publisher as the one I have called Sight To Sound by Leon White, yes? Dale Zdenek Publications. I recall the title of yours and probably had it, long ago.
 
Being a guitar teacher, I built up quite a nice library over the years. It's all gone now, or rather 98% of it, anyway. It all got yard sale'd away during the very lean years(ca2008), which ended for me personally, in 2011.

I couldn't believe I still had all of my books going back to 70'. They were in the attic and never thrown away. When I divorced and moved to Shreveport in 09' I pulled everything out of the boxes. Very cool!!  I now have them ALL in a bookshelf for easy access and reviewing all of it every day

How cool for you! I wish I had mine still. I managed to keep a Chris. Parkening Plays Bach, the 2 Mickey Baker's Jazz Guitar, a book on Jazz Riffs, and the Steely Dan (Pretzel Logic and Katy Lied) and very ironically, my first Mel Bay book #1 from August of '63! They all got stashed in boxes that held either studio gear, as packing, or with instruments inside of cases for the guitars I got to keep through Chapter 7 and the yard sale years. I didn't find them till we bought our house in 2012.

ps     I've been looking around here, for a Sam's Book by Jack Darr, on Amp Servicing, that I've had since the late '60's, but I think it's gone. Maybe I'll find one at Habitat!

It's also worth mentioning that Ted's solo album is available to stream on Spotify. It's some lovely music.

I've always just tinkered with jazz, IMO, though I gigged with jazz (society)bands,(vs "Coltrane" players who can blow!),  was/still am fascinated by the chords and progressions. So, I studied chords, learning them and absorbing them, and listening to Joe Pass, Herb Ellis, Jim Hall(!), Charlie Christian, Wes and everyone else.
    The first "jazz" gig, which I was told was a rock/dance/oldies gig, caught me off guard. The pianist handed me a book, but I didn't have my glasses, so I winged it (I have great ears and know theory well). In the middle of the first jazz tune, he said "you aren't playing my chords". I said I would pay more attention, but at the end of the tune, he took the book back and said "I love what you're playing! Forget my stuff and go for it, man!"
    The gig went very well and I got a bunch more from that one, that night. As I drove home, about an hour away, it dawned on me that I had literally ABSORBED it, over a couple decades. I still wish my solos sounded more like my hero's, but I am patient! LOL
 
Thanks for the heads up on his album! sharke      All that I've heard him do is lovely and masterful!

ps    Ironically, I'm headed to a short Cole Porter song concert, tonight.
