The Bluesier Side of Jazz for Alto Saxophone and Eb instruments by Andrew D. Gordon and Frank Villafranca was inspired by the piano students Andrew teaches at Shepherd University School of Music in Los Angeles and is dedicated to those students: Jungwon, Yumiko, Yoko, Eunice, Sooji, Hae Ji and Ok Kyu. As with many students that come from a classical background it is a difficult transition to learn to play Blues & Jazz. When a musician improvises they usually play a variety of riffs or phrases that they have developed and learnt over a period of time and can access these phrases instantaneously whatever key they are playing in to create a seamless improvisedsolo from the phrases they have learnt. Andrew's idea for this book is to create phrases or riffs over two measures of various Blues progressions. He sub-divided each of the 12 Bar Blues progressions used in this book (the chord progression for Watermelon Man is a 16 measure progression) into six sections (two measures each) and within each of the six sections created four different phrases or riffs so that the student has a choice of four different phrases to play over every two measures. They can then create a solo based on which phrase they choose for each two measures. By breaking down these phrases to two measures each, he has found that the students have an easier time of learning to improvise than by trying to transcribe a whole solo from an audio recording or leaving them to their own devices in trying to play a solo based on the Blues scale or other related scales. Each of the ten examples are based on common Jazz/Blues chord progressions from Jazz songs such as 'Watermelon Man', 'Blue Monk', 'Tenor Madness', 'Route 66', 'Blue Trane', 'Bag's Groove' starting off with basic I-IV-V chords and increasing in complexity throughout the book. There are over 200 phrases/riffs to choose from that can be learned and applied to many types of jazz songs. The package includes: Book or PDF file 30 audio tracks to play on your CD player or computer Over 200 mp3 files Over 200 MIDI files/ Recueil / Saxophone Alto

Après le succès mondial de la collection Ultra Smooth Jazz Grooves que j\'ai co-écrite avec le saxophoniste Frank Villafranca, basée sur des compositions que nous avons écrites pour notre groupe The Super Groovers, je suis maintenant l\'auteur de la collection Smooth Jazz pour les instruments suivants : Piano/Clavier, Guitare/Basse, Flûte, Clarinette, Violon, Saxophones Alto et Ténor, Trompette et Trombone.
Le Smooth Jazz couvre une grande variété de styles différents et j\'ai combiné des éléments de Jazz, Rock, Pop, Blues, Latin, Gospel, Funk et RandB, Classique, Folk, New Age dans les exemples du livre.
Le Smooth Jazz est un genre de musique essentiellement instrumental, généralement très mélodique et qui, dans la plupart des cas, comporte une part d\'improvisation jazz. Il est généralement interprété à un tempo moyen et tend à mettre en avant le piano/clavier, le saxophone, la trompette et la guitare comme instruments principaux jouant la mélodie.
La plupart du temps, le Smooth Jazz est bien produit et présente des mélodies mémorables sur un fond de plusieurs pistes d\'instruments rythmiques, de claviers, de guitare, de cordes, de synthétiseurs, de batteries et de percussions.
Chaque riff a été enregistré avec l\'instrument mélodique solo ainsi qu\'une piste d\'accompagnement rythmique de guitare, de claviers/synthés, de basse, de batterie/percussion, puis uniquement les pistes d\'accompagnement pour que vous puissiez vous entraîner. Sont également incluses des pistes d\'accompagnement jouant la progression des accords 10 fois, ce qui vous donne plus de temps pour pratiquer vos compétences d\'improvisation en utilisant les riffs du recueil et en les développant dans votre propre style. / Partitions variété - pop - rock / Variété internationale / Vents / ADG PRODUCTIONS
