JazzMando What's New - The inner geek in us was out yesterday full throttle. The JazzMando staff was all atwitter (no pun intended) over the Apple press release of the new iPad. Besides the incredible entertainment value, this could be an valuable educational tool (telling our spouses that, and sticking to the story...).
JazzMando Research assistant Charlie Jones was the first to bring up the notion of a PDF sheet music reader. You have the Nook and the Kindle already out there with their proprietary readers, but this would be in a much cooler package, let alone the potential for instant audio accompaniment through the vast iTunes library.
From a publishing standpoint, our question is would you buy method books in this format? We're thinking of the exhaustive Mel Bay library, and selfishly, our own "Getting Into Jazz Mandolin" book. If you could buy this sort of material with the accompaniment CD built into the program, would you?
The mind boggles at the opportunities...
