3 Pieces for Solo Jazz Saxophone
Level: Advanced. The 3 pieces for solo jazz saxophone are dedicated to jazz saxophone legends: Phil Woods, Paul Desmond & Charlie Parker.
Serious technical and experience playing jazz style is a must for this work. But if you enjoy a challenge and a good solid jazz-inspired workout, you’ll love this work!
1st Movement: “Introduction and Be-Bop”.
Dedicated to the great jazz alto saxophone legend, Phil Woods, this movement begins as a calm and jazz-tinged rhapsodic theme that gradually builds into a medium-paced be-bop section as it unfolds.
2nd Movement: “Time for Paul”.
Inspired by Paul Desmond’s hit tune, “Take Five” this movement contains many of Desmond’s stylistic and melodic approaches to improvising.
3rd Movement: “Bird Talk”
Dedicated to the great Charlie Parker. A Parker-styled piece replete with Parker-inspired & styled quotes and notated improvisation. A challenging sax Be-Bop workout but a very enjoyable one!
