Summary of This Book
This collection brings together 25 legendary solos performed by major saxophonists, from Chuck Rio to King Curtis, including David Sanborn and Kenny G. Each solo is offered in transcription in standard notation, ideal for dissecting the licks, attack, rhythmic placement, and sound unique to each artist. The book goes beyond the simple sheet music thanks to a biography and photos to place each musician in their universe, influences, and era.
The provided CD allows a progressive approach: listening to the full version to internalize the musical rendering, then working with the play-along to develop ease, precision, and endurance. You can also, on Mac or PC, slow down or speed up the studied solos without changing their key, a valuable asset to secure fast passages, refine intonation, and stabilize the groove before returning to the original tempo.
