Great Memories Oct 05, 2011
By Shawn Washington Lancaster CA What a joy! Brought back great memories of the 70's and 80's! My heart was warmed as I played along. This is a great book! It is an accurate note by note transcription of one of the all time great Saxophone Players!..Play along with Mr. Magic, Feels So Good, Take Me There and Just the 2 of Us; just to name a few!.. Book gives a nice autobiography write up of Grover and alternate fingerings that help the Saxophonist play along...In short this is one of the most enjoyable music books that I have on my shelf!... As Grover's legend grows because of his early death; this book might become a collectors item!..Get it while you can!.....

Grover would be proud! Jan 03, 2007
By Dr. Accuracy This is an outstanding selection of transcriptions of tunes by Grover Washington, Jr. The transcriptions are faithful to many of the vintage songs that GWJ fans have listened to over the years. As a saxophone player, I was not disapointed by what I saw. However, be forewarned that these transcriptions are not for the faint-hearted, since some considerable sight-reading skills are needed to play many of the tunes. The Master, GWJ, played these tunes effortlessly, but I can assure you that these transcriptions will give your fingers a real work-out and you'll learn a lot about subtle attacks, dynamics and phrasing. And if you think that playing smooth jazz is easy - you'll think again after experiencing this fine volume. It goes without saying that GWJ was a great musician!!!

Originally released in 1959, Miles Davis's magnum opus Kind of Blue is still considered by many to be one of the greatest albums of all time. Starring Davis, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb, Kind of Blue has held onto its status as an album that crosses genres, speaks to generations, and is one of the first (if not the first) album that any new jazz acolyte purchases.

The revolutionary SOFT SAX® STRAP actually helps reduce uncomfortable neck and shoulder pressure, fatigue and bounce. The innovative design incorporates neoprene with a comfort-stretch backing.

This is how the SOFT SAX® STRAP makes your instrument feel 50% lighter and 100% more comfortable. You’ll definitely feel the difference! The SOFT SAX® STRAP is available in three sizes: Regular 16.5" - 21" (41.9cm - 53.3cm), Junior 15" - 18" (38.1cm - 45.7cm) and X-Long 20.5" - 26" (52.1cm - 66cm). Measurments are taken from the back of the neck to the bottom of the hook. | | | | | | |  | |  |  | |  |  | |  | | Vandoren Alto Saxophone Reeds #2.5, Box of 10 | Rico Royal Alto Sax Reeds, Strength 2.5, 10-pack | Vandoren Tenor Saxophone Reeds #3, Box of 5 | | | |  |  |  | | | | Designed to produce a quality of pure sound due to a very thin reed tip, balanced by a solid vertical column.
