Summary of This Book
This collection brings together saxophone transcriptions of 14 pieces performed by Kenny Garrett, a major reference in contemporary jazz saxophone. Designed as a true toolbox for progress, it allows you to delve into the details of the language: note choices, sequences, phrase breathing, dynamics, and improvisational logic. It is an excellent resource to understand how a soloist develops ideas over multiple sections, how tension is created and resolved, and how a theme is brought to life through accents and inflections.
You will find emblematic titles to work on velocity and harmony (such as "Giant Steps" or "Countdown"), as well as essential standards to refine musicality and sense of form ("Night And Day," "Mack The Knife"). The included pieces are: Countdown; Delfeayo's Dilemma; Giant Steps; Ja Hed; Jackie and The Beanstalk; Koranne Said; Like Sonny; Mack The Knife; Night And Day; Nostradamus; 3rd Quadrant; 2 down and 1 across; Wayne's Thang; Wooden Steps. Practically, these saxophone transcriptions constitute an excellent starting point to identify motifs, transpose them into all 12 keys, adapt them to your chord changes, and build your own improvised discourse with a solid and contemporary vocabulary.
