100 Ultimate Blues Riffs for Alto Saxophone is written by internationally acclaimed author and instructor Andrew D. Gordon. This product is an exhaustive guide to the various phrases or "riffs" that make up Blues saxophone playing, both from a rhythmic and soloing standpoint. This book is ideal for most levels of musicianship, from the beginner/intermediate student who is interested in understanding and playing the Blues to more advanced players that need new ideas to help stimulate their creativity. It is also useful as a tool for improving one’s sight reading abilities with the examples being in many different keys and rhythms. The 12 bar Blues progression and the Blues scale are also explained. Included with this book is a CD with each example recorded twice. The first version of each example has the flute playing along with a rhythm section and the second version just has the rhythm section playing so that the saxophonist can play along.

This review is from: 100 Ultimate Blues Riffs for Eb (alto) Saxophone Book/audio CD (Paperback)
The riffs are pretty cool, but somebody ought to tell the author that the lowest note on an alto sax is B flat. A lot of the riffs go down to A.

This review is from: 100 Ultimate Blues Riffs for Eb (alto) Saxophone Book/audio CD (Paperback)
I'll give it 3 stars because it's good for giving you ideas and progressions. However, the majority of the music sounds like gospel music with the organ being so strong, especially at the end of the riff. Many of the riffs are shown as "mid tempo minor blues, jazzy blues, blues waltz, etc" for a variety. But in the end the background music could use some work.

This review is from: 100 Ultimate Blues Riffs for Eb (alto) Saxophone Book/audio CD (Paperback)
the book did not arrive with the CD as listed. The CD had clearly been torn out of the packet in the book. I attempted to contact amazon about this but only received computer generated reply that was meaningless. I dont intend to try again on any other product.
