Summary of This Book
In this collection, Michel Pellegrino invites you to follow in the footsteps of saxophonists who have marked the history of jazz, based on a selection of themes built in the spirit of great standards. You will find essential references such as "Tico-Tico," "Besame Mucho," and "The Shadow of Your Smile," all starting points to explore a lyrical, expressive, and immediately evocative musical language.
The content highlights the natural meeting between jazz and the music of Central and South America, whose rhythms and colors have deeply nourished the repertoire since the 1930s. By working on these themes, you approach the fundamentals of the Latin style: solid pulse, characteristic accentuation, playing with anticipations, and precise setting of rhythmic cells. It is an excellent foundation to refine your interpretation, gain ease in grooves, and add more depth to your saxophone playing.
Throughout the pages, the approach reminds that many great names in jazz have engaged with these influences, bringing their personality: from the warm and rounded sounds of swing to the freedoms of bebop, passing through a cooler and more melodic aesthetic. This book is thus aimed at those who want to enrich their standard repertoire culture, expand their "Latin jazz" repertoire, and find concrete musical ideas to play with style, whether in lessons, rehearsals, or on stage.
