Summary of This DVD
Designed to help you master two essential saxophone styles, this DVD begins with a brief history to situate the codes and sounds specific to Blues and Jazz. The Blues section guides you step by step through the fundamental elements of the style: exploration of low and high fingerings, understanding the blues scale, reading and assimilating the blues form, identifying chord progressions, and establishing the triplet feel. You also approach riffs and improvisation principles, with a focus on harmonic continuity and voicing to add depth to your phrases. Expressiveness is not forgotten thanks to dedicated work on characteristic sound effects such as vibrato, bend, glissando, and grooving, while also incorporating major and minor pentatonic scales to build solid and natural choruses.
On the Jazz side, the content emphasizes the mechanisms that evolve your playing towards a richer language: analysis and practice of harmonic progressions, use of specific scales, understanding substitutions, and introduction to modal playing. The goal is to provide you with concrete tools to better "hear" harmony and choose notes that sound right, while gaining fluidity and intention. Finally, more advanced techniques like altissimo and false fingerings complete the learning process, in order to extend your range, vary colors, and assert your musical personality on the saxophone.
