'THIS IS REALLY A GREAT BOOK! A powerful sight-reading, ear-training, swinging, improvising jazz tool. Perfect for the student of jazz. Wish I had it when I was growing up. Glad I have it now.' --Michael Brecker
'This is one of the most concise and easy to digest collections of solos over standard tune chord changes that I have seen. All the elements of good voice leading, passing notes and common scale usage are here. Very enjoyable!' --Dave Liebman
I wish I had material like this when I was coming up. These etudes are little masterpieces. There is such a wealth of material to learn from here. Great line construction and great conceptual ideas. Having the rhythm section continue after the etude is a great idea! I will be using these with virtually all my students from now on. Greg Fishman has done a terrific job of putting this book together, and the play-along rhythm section is first class!'--Mark Colby, Depaul University, Elmhurst College
'This book is a written version of the way jazz is supposed to be taught--learning from a great player who truly understands how to distill the language into clear, understandable terms. Chicago-based saxophonist Greg Fishman has composed a set of etudes based on standard tunes that are one of the best collections of this type I've seen. The lines he composes are textbook versions of post-bop saxophone improvising, and will give students at all levels a wealth of material to practice and internalize. Fishman is equally well-versed as a teacher and as a saxophonist--it's a rare combination that is showcased in this book.' --David Demsey, William Paterson University, Saxophone Journal
Each etude demonstrates the use of:-Theme and development, including use of sequence.
-Syntax -- the order in which musical events occur.
-Voice-leading -- the smooth connection of chords by moving no more than a whole step.
- Phrasing -- a wide variety of starting and ending points.
-Eighth-note lines -- the use of long streams of eighth notes, sometimes in the 'change-running' style.
-Idiomatic Construction -- these etudes were written for saxophone, and use patterns, scales and intervals common to the jazz saxophone lexicon.
