+1 Re Motown/JJ book

If you're interested in Latin vibes I recommend Funkifying the Clave by Lincoln Goines and Robby Ameen - can be used as a primer; covers most of the popular flavours; and includes CD's for bass and drums.

Have a browse on the jazzwise website, they may have something you fancy there.

Or just get a real book.
