Summary of This Collection
This Jazz collection for alto saxophone, by Jaap Berends and Miguel Boelens, offers a practical path to strengthen your musical reflexes at the heart of the style: rhythmic setup, articulation, phrasing, and vocabulary development. Thanks to the CD, you work with accompaniment that stimulates listening and precision, whether to lock in your attacks, refine your intonation, or gain comfort in transitions. The INTERMEDIATE level makes it an excellent choice for saxophonists who already have a solid foundation (reading, fingerings, breath control) and wish to take a step toward a smoother and more "jazz" playing style.
The pedagogy emphasizes autonomy: you can repeat slowly, then speed up, record yourself, compare your timing, and adjust your tone. It is a particularly relevant tool for working on tempo consistency, dynamics, and musicality, while enriching your approach to improvisation. Whether you play in lessons, workshops, or personal practice, this collection with CD becomes a concrete tool to transform jazz concepts into playing sensations.
