5Great 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!.....

5Grover 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!!!

I highly recommend it to get speed with your fingers and even as a trainning for alto sax.
