Summary of This Book
Designed for saxophonists who want to play essential classic rock standards quickly and enjoyably, this volume of the Saxophone Play-Along series offers a simple and effective approach: you read the sheet music, listen to the example to understand the intention (phrasing, placement, breathing), then you play along with dedicated accompaniments. This formula is particularly relevant for working on rhythmic placement, attack consistency, and intonation, while keeping the pleasure of playing immediately recognizable tunes.
The sheet music is provided in two keys/instrumentations to suit the most common transposing saxophones: B-flat (often tenor sax) and E-flat (often alto sax). You can thus use the same collection in class, rehearsal, or at home, regardless of your instrument. The inclusion of lyrics facilitates memorization of themes and helps build a more "singing" style of playing, a real asset for interpretation work on saxophone.
Regarding the repertoire, this book gathers iconic tracks where the sax naturally finds its place, with strong melodies and varied grooves. You will find notably: Baker Street (Gerry Rafferty), Deacon Blues (Steely Dan), Jazzman (Carole King), Smooth Operator (Sade), The Heart Of Rock And Roll (Huey Lewis & the News), Turn The Page (Bob Seger), Who Can It Be Now? (Men At Work), and Young Americans (David Bowie). An excellent choice to enrich your saxophone sheet music library and develop your musicality on rock classics.
