Born in Tunisia in 1952 Christian Lauba has been a prominent contemporary composer winning many prizes since his graduation from the Conservatory of Bordeaux during the mid-1980s. Lauba is particularly noted for his compositions for the Saxophone such as Study No. 12 for Alto Saxophone. Published in 2007 Study No. 12 'XYL' Balafon 2 is highly virtuosic and modern including multiphonic Saxophone sounds and other advanced technical features. The score of Study No. 12 also comes accompanied with a CD of a prerecorded accompanying part. With a typical performance lasting around six minutes thisLauba study nicknamed 'XYL' Balafon 2 is described as a 'a study for the mastering of circular breathing the low and high registers dynamic rhythmic and melodic crescendos and decrescendos rational and irrational note-values chromaticism and digital virtuosity'. For all advanced Alto saxophonists Study No. 12 provides an alternative modern work essential to a varied repertoire.

Composed by Claude Barthélémy Okawati's is the first piece from the series 'Irrawady' (also named 'Asia is running through my ears') for Alto or Soprano Saxophone and electro-acoustic system. Commissioned by a Cultural Centre this series is made of four parts and two interludes (without Saxophone) and was used as a piece of contest. This particular piece Okawati's is representing a hotel located in between rice fields in Bali. At night there is no silence but the noise of frogs and birds flying around. The player is supposed to impersonate one of the birds.Lasting 5'34 minutes the score ofthis piece is written in modern writing and requires some good knowledge of modern and contemporary pieces and some very good technical knowledge. Quite unusual and fun to play it also includes a CD which features the part of the electro-acoustic system. It is followed by: - Interlude I - Ubud - Le dos des caïmans - Interlude II - Gazebo

Par RICKER RAMON. Improvisation is at the heart of Jazz, but knowing how to play stylistically correctly in a large Jazz ensemble is also a necessity.

Movie themes have their own special appeal. Their role is to convey and amplify the atmosphere and emotions of moving pictures. In many cases they take on a life of their own and it is such titles as these, classics in their own right, which we selected for this book.With a lot of effort and patience in both arranging this broad musical palette and recording the play-along CD, Alfred Music Publishing have been able to create play-alongs that are live studio recordings. Through this we can make a broad spectrum of styles accessible to the player, be it a classical orchestra, a jazz orchestra, a jazz combo, a rock and pop band or any of the possible line-ups in between.We are especially proud to have top-class musicians of the contemporary European music scene on our recordings. Their unique interpretations make it a worthwhile experience to just listen to the tracks, let alone having yourself accompanied by top notch musicians. The chord symbols are meant for accompaniment by a teacher or duet partner so that the themes can be played independently from the CD. This is why the symbols are shown in concert pitch, even in the editions for transposed instruments (i.e. clarinet, alto and tenor saxophone). The chord symbols also make it possible to perform tunes from 'Cinema Classics' live with a duet partner or band. / Saxophone Alto

John O'Neill has a solid understanding of jazz and how it can be taught. I highly recommend his educational jazz materials. (Jamey Aebersold) ...a rare opportunity for a new player (or a more experienced one) to develop a really musical facility. A rare addition to the jazz improvising library.
