Just a warning for non improvisers -

One of the books for sure (I think I played Book 2) calls for a bluesy
improv solo (just chords). If you are not comfortable with that, you
will want to steer clear of that book or trade with someone else on that
song. If I recall right, book 4 also has a tenor sax blues solo (but my
memory could be wrong on that; it's been three or four years since I
last played the show).
