ADVANCE MUSICEasy Jazz Conception: Alto Saxophone Book (English/German Edition)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Build foundational jazz vocabulary on alto sax with 15 solo etudes drawn from blues and standard harmonic movements. Each study can be heard with Jim Snidero playing over piano, bass, and drums, then revisited against the rhythm section alone. That two-pass setup lets you study the phrasing first, then play the written part in a more independent practice run. The English/German edition keeps the focus on learning basic jazz style through listening and playing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Home practice where you first hear an alto demonstration, then play with backing alone.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need a book written for baritone saxophone rather than alto saxophone.
