Jazz Incorporated -Alto Saxophone With Piano Accompaniment –Book 1

Includes Backing Track CD

Dive into the melodious world of jazz with the Jazz Incorporated series, a unique compilation tailored for wind and brass enthusiasts. Book 1, specially designed for the Alto Saxophone accompanied by piano, brings together a diverse array of jazzy pieces, resonating with the essence of contemporary music.

The demonstration CD contains backing tracks in two tempos. Includes SMF midi data backings. The CD is an invaluable practice and performance tool and accelerates learning and makes it more fun.

While primarily designed for solo performances, these pieces are versatile. They cater to a wide range of wind instruments, with parts available for Bb trumpet/clarinet/tenor sax, C flute/recorder, Eb alto sax, and bass clef trombone. Beyond individual renditions, they serve as ideal candidates for class teaching ensembles, offering a holistic learning experience.

A standout feature is the inclusion of chord symbols. These not only pave the way for integrating a rhythm section but also serve as an open invitation for musicians to venture into the world of improvisation, adding their own unique touch to the compositions.

Every piece in this book is meticulously curated, encompassing rich articulations, engaging phrasing, and ‘catchy’ melodies. Modern chord voicings and detailed performance notes further enhance the musical journey. From the rhythmic beats to the harmonic intricacies, the Jazz Incorporated series encapsulates a blend of traditional jazz techniques with contemporary styles, making it an invaluable asset for budding and seasoned musicians alike.
