OpenSax – the title of this collection should appeal to all saxophonists who seek to explore new directions while keeping an eye on the current musical scene. Claude Georgel director of the Vent de Sax collection took advantage of a festive occasion – the 17th World Saxophone Congress and Festival in July 2015 – to ask nine composers from very different backgrounds to write pieces either joyful or poetic. The idea was to allow instrumentalists (starting year two of Alto Saxophone study) to explore a variety of artistic and technical worlds guided by the pure joy of playing. It’s a thrilling adventure: British composer JohnHarle draws on the Sanskrit symbol Yantra to weave magical connections between soloist and electroacoustics. Sophie Lacaze turns young saxophonists into Oriental storytellers as they celebrate through deft plays on keys the thousand shards of La Lune dans l’Eau. Vincent-Raphaël Carinola takes musicians into the dreamlike mechanism of the Montre molle so dear to Dali. In Sunny groove Claude Barthélémy offers those who thrill to jazz the pleasure of slipping into the skin of the legendary Sonny Rollins. Annette Mengel gives her Vol au Vent the appearance of a fragile haiku while Clara Olivares the composer of L’Envol transforms what could have been a banal study of the various types of vibrato into a hymn for freedom – that of the performer for example to whom she gives great importance. Claude Georgel’s Du Tac au Tac! conjures an amusing world to which a “very free questioning” rubato brings a simply irresistible sway. In Gamaphone for Saxophone and electroacoustics Philippe Gleiss throws a bridge between jazz and funk by plunging the musician into the sensual delights of rhythm. Xavier Rosselle brings the electroacoustic accompaniment of Main gauche Main droite et Clac a granular quality that emphasizes the music’s sobriety. From the nine stops that compose this journey springs an intoxicating taste of freedom. - Claude BarthélemySonny’s groove

for Alto Saxophone and Electroacoustics-Thierry Alla’s Birds for Alto Saxophone and Electroacoustics. Born in March 1955 in Algiers Thierry Alla did the greater part of his studies at the University of Tours and the Conservatoire of Bordeaux where he was marked by Michel Fusté-Lambezat’s teaching of musical composition and the discovery of Electroacoustics with Christian Eloy. His double career as musicologist (with a thesis on Tristan Murail) and composer allows him to explore spectral music such as in Sanctuaires a 2009 concerto for Saxophone and orchestra that delves into micro-intervals. Composed two years later Birds for AltoSaxophone and Electroacoustics explores a lush sound universe that holds its own in a rich tradition that goes from Josquin Desprez to Rameau to Messiaen. The Saxophone’s evocative sounds obtained using diverse techniques (flatterzunge breath techniques keys sounds) mingle with those of the Electroacoustic recording and weave a dense polyphony. Far from servile imitation this evocation of birdsong reveals a sound imagination that is breathtakingly sensual: this abundance is life itself.

100 Ultimate Blues Riffs for Eb Alto Saxophone, the Beginner Series by musician, educator and world renowned author Andrew D. Gordon is an exhaustive guide to introduce beginner students to the various phrases or ?riffs? that make up Blues sax playing, both from a rhythmic and soloing standpoint.

The 12 bar Blues progression and the Blues scale, in Andrew?s opinion, the two most important aspects of playing the Blues is explained in detail as well as ?straight? and ?swing? rhythms. There are five sections to the riffs in the book, section 1 contains basic Blues riffs, section 2 contains Rhythm
