Connection Alto Sax (Volume 1) by

so Dickbauer puts them "in context" to make them as enjoyable as
playing for fun. However, this book is much more than just scales. The
Groove
Connection is published for various
instruments, but all are designed to work together in duo, trio, and
larger ensemble enjoyment. While this volume is not focused on jazz,
unlike volume 2, it does include some improvisation. The included CD is
useful for classroom and

Connection Alto Sax (Volume 2) by Klaus
Dickbauer. Universal Edition, 2016, SS, 44 pages + CD. Klaus
Dickbauer believes that scales can be fun. His modern approach to
elementary technique can be a highly effective training tool for
developing improvisation skills. In the first volume, Dickbauer covered
major scales, triads, and interval exercises, combined with groovy
beats, in a fresh and contemporary way. He now continues his
well-thought-out approach to scales with a concentration on Dorian,
Mixolydian, pentatonic, and blues scales, the perfect tools for
building first improvisation skills. Methodically sound exercises train
students in patterns and motifs to equip them with a sense of
confidence and an appetite for learning the art of improvisation. Some
of the exercieses have three parts. The CD will be a valuable aid for
learning improvisation. Click on

Playing on the Changes Tenor or Soprano Saxophone by
Bob Mintzer. Belwin Jazz/Alfred, 2015, 58 pages + DVD. Playing on the
Changes
features 13 jazz etudes through the various chord qualities found in
standards and jazz tunes in all 12 keys. Areas covered include major
7th chords, minor 7th chords, dominant 7th chords (Mixolydian, altered
dominant, and half-whole diminished), minor ii (flat-5) chords, tritone
substitutions, and a variety of progressions using all of the above.
Bob Mintzer has written out etude solos that traverse the changes in a
way that familiarizes you with the sound of each harmonic setting. Each
etude is modeled after ideas---such as melodic and rhythmic patterns
that create continuity---and singable melodies that he recommends using
when improvising through the chord changes.Using the included TNT 2
software, listen to and analyze the etudes, and by removing Mintzer's
saxophone from the mix, you can then practice and play these harmonic
exercises on your own with a stellar rhythm section. The TNT 2 software
allows you to slow down the tempo, too. Click here

/ S535: Reading Key Jazz
Rhythms Alto or Baritone Saxophone by Fred Lipsius.
Advance Music, 1996, SS, 68 pages + CD. This is a collection of
24 easy to medium level jazz etudes, and 24 simplified guide tone
versions of the etudes. They are ideal for learning the basic language
of jazz, swing phrasing, and articulation. The guide tone etudes (guide
tones are the essential or defining notes for each given chord type)
are followed by a melodious version as the chord changes might actually
be performed (the rhythms are the same in both versions). On the
accompanying CD the soloist (Fred
Lipsius) demonstrates the 24
melodious etudes together with a professional rhythm section. You can
also improvise along with the play-along tracks using the chord
symbols. So if improvising is new to you and you find yourself getting
lost, you can always return to a guide tone and play rhythmically
around it. Any etude and its corresponding simplified guide tone
version can be played together as a duet (with or without the CD
accompaniment).23.95
