Summary of This Sheet Music

Designed as an alto sax play-along, this collection offers you 10 iconic tracks from the 70s, arranged to allow you to play as close as possible to the original spirit, while remaining accessible and enjoyable to work on. Thanks to the 2 audio CDs, each piece is presented in two versions: a full demo (to clearly hear the interpretation, intention, and style) and a version without soloist to accompany you and immediately put you in playing condition. It's an excellent format to gain consistency, improve intonation and note holding, and develop endurance while staying within a pop repertoire.
