Good Study for Jazz Articulations, Accents, Phrasing, Etc.,
By Music Teacher (Portsmouth, NH 03801) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Essential Elements for Jazz Ensemble: A Comprehensive Method for Jazz Style and Improvisation, Alto Saxaphone (Paperback)
I teach private saxophone lessons full time and I recommend this book to my students who are ready to focus on jazz phrasing, articulations, accents, etc. The recordings have sections that are for reference (where you can hear the written parts) and sections that can be used as play-along tracks (where the written parts have been removed from the recording). The selections can sometimes sound a little bit childish, but not nearly as bad as Basic Jazz Conceptions for Saxophone by Lennie Niehaus, which is similar book that is often recommended to students by their teachers.
