Summary of This Book
This volume in the Saxophone Play-Along series is designed to help you quickly learn to play R&B tunes on the saxophone, with a guided and progressive approach: you follow the music, first listen to the performance to understand the expected style, then play immersed with separate backing tracks. It's an ideal method to gain confidence, develop rhythmic precision, and refine articulation, all while enjoying a complete musical context.
The online audio is a real asset for daily practice: it can be played on a compatible player, but also via a computer to adjust the recording to your level. You can slow down to secure difficult passages, then gradually speed up to the target tempo without affecting tuning. A very effective solution for building clean and musical playing, whether you are rehearsing, in a workshop, or preparing for a concert.
The collection highlights standards and key tracks from the Soul and R&B repertoire, including: "Soul Serenade" (King Curtis), "Unchain My Heart" (Ray Charles), "Respect" (Aretha Franklin), "Pick Up The Pieces" (Average White Band), "Shot Gun" and "Cleo's Mood" (Junior Walker & the All-Stars), as well as "Soul Finger" (The Bar-Kays) and "I Got A Woman" (Ray Charles). An excellent choice to enrich your saxophone sheet music library and play with a true band sound.
