ESCOLA PE JAZZ DO PORTO Feinio do Magalies, 85 Tole!, begR6e — 4900 PORTO : £ GODTBIB, B0D360589 For the saxophone student beginning the serious study of jazz and confem- porary slyles, this book will help in many ways. Fist, phrasing and interpretation of rhythms is studied through exercises ond ofiginal pieces. It should be noted that the pieces contain mony phrasing markings that would not appearin jazz ensemble parts or “fake books” where it is assumed that the piayer already knows how to phrase in the jaz or rock idiom. Secondly, studies to teach both theoretical and technical skills in scoles and chords give basics necessary to study and develop improvisational skills. We hope that the student will enjoy cnd lear from this book. Tne student should listen to,as many recordings of jazz saxophonists as possib'e in order fo gain a concept of the principles tcught in this text (de Thanks to Rob Goldsmith for egiing this text.
