These 14 jazz solos were written to be played with Jamey's popular Volume 54, Maiden Voyage play-a-long and, since they are by Lennie, you know they swing and are fun to play. To make it even better, we've included a play-a-long/demonstration CD with jazz saxophone master Greg Fishman playing the solos with the Volume 54 accompaniment tracks to demonstrate proper jazz feel and interpretation. Lennie writes - Greg plays. You listen, play and learn.

The 'classically' trained amateur or professional performer, or the intermediate-level student (III-IV), will enjoy playing these expertly arranged Broadway melodies just for fun or to include as a light piece on a recital or solo-feature concert performance. The ballads and medium-tempo and up-tempo swing tunes are arranged with a play through of the melody followed by a written-out 'variation chorus, a return to the melody, and an earcatching ending. The piano, bass, and drumaccompaniment CD will put you right in the band. The CD includes both the solo instrument with the accompaniment track and an accompanimet-alone track for each selection. The inexperienced performer can learn the appropriate style of playing and be comfortable playing in the jazz style before playing along with the rhythm section track. All of the instrument books are for the most part compatible, with only minimal changes in the 'variation' section to accommodate the ranges (sometimes including octave options) and unique characteristics of the instruments -but all can be played together. The three-line piano accompaniment book provides a rhythmic 'comping' with chord voicings written out plus the flute part to help in following the soloist, or even for the pianist to take a chorus. For the jazzer, here is a chance to learn Broadway tunes and to explore playing ballads and the swing style of popular standards. Chord symbols are included to allow for improvistation. By combining his jazz-keyboard chops, his 25 years as an instrumental instructor, and his superb composing and arranging skills, Carl Strommen presents a fully playable, exciting, and tastefully arranged collection of these immortal and memorable Broadway titles. / RĂ©p International / Recueil / Saxophone Alto

by Walt Weiskopf. From the popular performer and composer, here are 16 solos based on well-known standards designed to improve your time, melodic sense, and harmonic awareness. They sound like 'real' solos because they were designed the way real soloists think and play. Chord changes are written above each measure, allowing instant analysis of how and why a particular lick or pattern sounds great. Tempos are moderate to moderate-fast, so they are very approachable for intermediate level players. The CD includes both play-along/practice tracks and demonstration tracks with Walt playing the etudes on either tenor or alto sax (depending on the book). Playing these solos with solid time, tone, and conviction will have you sounding professional, mature, and polished.
