It also includes a CD with all 8 arrangements played by the University of Minnesota Jazz Ensemble.

    Agreed, this is one of the best books on all aspects of jazz composition. Full scores, reductions in concert pitch, and detailed analysis of real music. Try to find the original recordings if you don’t allready have them though, as they are exceptional as well.
