5.0 out of 5 stars TENOR SAX BOOK=A MUST FOR ALL, April 22, 2005

By	Cresent City Sax "Cresent City Sax" (New Orleans) - See all my reviews

If you play tenor sax and study jazz get this book. Do not waste any time on any other book. These transcriptions are perfect.
The Colotrane solo is a gold mine of ideas and perfect. I thnk I learned more about Lester Young as well. I know the author played and was a student of Sal Nistico and that is very cool.
My teacher in New Orleans uses this book as a text for his sax students. He also sais Price is one of the baddest players out there. That must besome value because this teacher taught Harrison and Bran through others.
I'd hope I give you a hard core idea that this book is your next step. Any player without it is cutting short the growth.
More books from Tim, somebody publish him more. I love his work! By the way what a fantastic player and nice friendly dude.
One of the most creative sax players in my opinion on the jazz turf. Or rock or funk turf too. He plays it all and does it up cool.

By	Matt Hermeyer (Buena Park, California USA) - See all my reviews

For all you advanced tenor sax players out there, this is a must have book. Full of detail, challenging rythms and funky beats. Not recommended for the beginning player. Definatly a five-star book

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Tenor Sax Solos Review, April 21, 2003

By	James (Florida) - See all my reviews

Where else can you get this information and such excellent clarity. I found these solos to be perfect. Plus, i learned a lot about some players i never knew. Such as Wardell Grey and Sal Nistico. I really loved the Prez Solos and the Stan Getz Solos. The guy who made me aware of this book is the great "Sax Repair Man" Emilio from Boston. He told me this book is the best...and it is. He also spoke highly of the author, Tim Price, as he has known him all his life. He mentioned that everyone that comes into the store buys this book, and if i didnt believe him to stand there a while and watch it sell. This book was such a help to me i hope some day maybe to study with Tim Price. I also reccomend his Hot Rock Sax Book very highly.
