Summary of This Method
Big Band Highlights puts you in the spotlight: you perform the main melody, supported by the energy of a big band. Designed for alto or tenor saxophonists (written in treble clef ), this collection emphasizes solo playing and the essential reflexes for the big band style: precise articulation, swing phrasing, accentuation, and sense of "time." Most of the pieces were specially composed for this book to offer effective and immediately musical themes, perfect for working on expression and presence.
To complement these original titles, the collection also includes two great classics of popular music: "Copacabana" (Barry Manilow) and "You Are the Sunshine of My Life" (Stevie Wonder). Thanks to the accompanying CD, you rehearse as in an orchestra rehearsal: you learn to hold a melodic line over a full ensemble, manage breathing, and add depth to your interpretation. An excellent resource to prepare for auditions, enrich your repertoire, or simply play "like with a real big band."
