For Any Serious Musician,
By Music Is Everything "Music Is Everything" (Colorado Springs, CO USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Charlie Parker - Omnibook: For B-flat Instruments (Plastic Comb)
Even as a Classical musician, I find great joy in this book. Yes, saxophonists would do better to get the E-flat edition, since that was Parker's axe and everything works better. As a trumpeter, of course I'm using the B-flat edition, which sits very well for trumpet. In fact, the range requirements are so reasonable that long practice sessions on this music at the end of the day are not overly tiring. This book is a window into Parker's genius, and a welcome diversion from repetitive exercises or square etude books, because the music is very challenging and complex. Enjoy.

Sax players should buy the Eb edition!,
By stengel99 "stengel99" (Bakersfield, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Charlie Parker - Omnibook: For B-flat Instruments (Plastic Comb)
This book has long been known as the bible of bebop. However, I STRONGLY recommend that saxophone players buy the Eb edition. This Bb edition, transposed for obvious reasons, does not work well for tenor sax. It goes beyond the instrument's range, and it's just plain awkward to play. Unless you are a trumpet player or you are using this book in a group setting, DON'T buy this edition. Get this one: Charlie Parker Omnibook for E Flat Instruments : Recorded Solos
