5Meticulously researched and executed  Dec 14, 2004 By Jason C. DuMars "Author, www.saxophone.org, www.dumarsengraving.com"
There are many transcriptions of Coltrane's solos floating around out there. For professional saxophonists, writing down these solos is like taking a graduate course in jazz studies. The work presented here, along with the accompanying special fingerings and notes makes this the absolute best compilation on the market for aspiring and even professional musicians. Although written for (and played on) tenor, these lines can be applied to any instrument. I have played along with the original recordings with these transcriptions, and they are meticulously correct. To get the most out of the experience, I recommend using the book like an answer key and trying to transcribe the solo yourself first. You will be absolutely stunned at what this does for your understanding of jazz, Coltrane, and music in general.

5Next to Charlie Parker's Omni book, there is no better  Mar 09, 2007 By Dean Book
I first got the Charlie Parker Omni solo books and this was the second one I got for playing. Each player has a different style and harmonic approach to the sax, so playing in their notes or foot steps, help you learn the horn, jazz and improvisation. This has a great selection of tunes from Trane. A great book to help you enjoy and learn to play jazz saxophone. Highly recommended for any horn player.

5Just what i needed  Sep 03, 2009 By Stephen J. Lacey
This is a huge resource of a great musician's work. So much to learn. This is also a great tool for getting good at reading music. You will find all kinds of sophisticated lines. I play guitar and the songs are written for tenor, it's a good enforcer to practice two keys at a time.
All the songs on the recordings are played a whole step(technically a M9)down from what the sheet music is. to refer to the recordings you have to know the music in both keys if you aren't playing tenor,. Anyway, 10/10 by far for any instrument.
