This book is designed to help saxophonists develop fluency in the jazz language by providing mainstream jazz vocabulary (swing/bop/post-bop) that nails the changes and lays great on the horn.

You can open the book to any page and just start playing. Hip Licks for Saxophone Volume 2 is an indispensable resource that shows you how a professional player would deal with many of the complex chord progressions found in popular standards and jazz compositions. Special Features of Hip Licks for Saxophone Volume 2 by Greg Fishman: • 120 Hip Licks – Each lick is unique and customized for each key, based on the best timbre, register and playability on the horn. • Idiomatic Construction – Alto and Tenor read the same written part, while the rhythm section is recorded in two different keys, ensuring that each lick lays perfectly on all saxophones. • Slow Tempo and Fast Tempo Play-Along CDs are included for both Alto and Tenor – 4 CDs included: 2 Alto CDs and 2 Tenor CDs, providing over four hours of play-along tracks.

These tracks are also excellent backgrounds for practicing all of your chords and scales. • Technique Builder – Use Hip Licks for Saxophone as part of your daily practice routine to dramatically increase your technical command of the saxophone.

La pédagogie et l\'enseignement du saxophone ne cessent d\'évoluer dans un monde moderne, un monde en mouvement où les styles musicaux se croisent et se rejoignent. Après une spécialisation du saxophone de genre «classique» ou «jazz» au c?ur du xxe siècle, nous voilà plongés dans un métissage des esthétiques, sans frontière.
Cette méthode tend à illustrer que le saxophone ne peut dissocier classique (musique mélodique, savante, écrite) et jazz (musique improvisée) permettant ainsi au saxophoniste en herbe de libérer sa parole musicale grâce à son imagination et sa créativité.
Nous avons pris le soin de veiller à une progression précise et rapide des apprentissages, sans artifice technique et avons mis l\'accent sur l\'apport purement musical, que ce soit par de courtes pièces inspirées de « grands airs» de la musique classique, ou par des morceaux originaux ou des standards liés à la musique de jazz. Conjointement, une base théorique ainsi que des clés d\'écoute sont proposés pour faciliter la performance instrumentale.
Les 20 leçons de la méthode couvrent une année complète d\'apprentissage et s\'adressent à tous les âges et profils : élève d\'un conservatoire, d\'une école de musique, jeune ou adulte amateur, accompagné d\'un professeur ou en totale autonomie.
Vous avez en main le support idéal qui vous pe1mettra de découvrir ce magnifique instrument qu\'est le saxophone au travers d\'une grande diversité de répertoires et de styles ; alors ... amusez-vous bien !

Il y a encore de cela quelques années, le jazz et l\'improvisation au saxophone s\'adressaient souvent à des élèves avancés. Mon expérience d\'enseignant m\'a montré qu\'en improvisant dès le début de son apprentissage, l\'élève développe un sens de l\'écoute, du rythme et de la créativité.
Dans cette méthode vous aurez des outils pour improviser dès les premières leçons !
Avec des indications simples, vous allez découvrir et vous initier au plaisir de jouer et d\'improviser. Cette «rampe de lancement» pour l\'improvisation pourra s\'accompagner par la suite, si vous en éprouvez l\'envie et le besoin, de notions plus poussées.
Grâce aux accompagnements enregistrés par un trio de grands musiciens, ayant l\'habitude de jouer ensemble cette musique, vous pourrez vous immerger au c?ur de cette formation, en étant dans votre propre quartet de jazz. Vous pourrez ainsi jouer à votre guise avec ou sans votre professeur.
Prenez autant de plaisir que nous en avons eu pour concevoir cette méthode, et maintenant : Go !
