100 Ultimate Blues Riffs for Tenor Saxophone is written by
internationally acclaimed author and instructor Andrew D. Gordon. This
product is an exhaustive guide to the various phrases or “riffs” that
make up Blues saxophone playing, both from a rhythmic and soloing
standpoint. This book is ideal for most levels of musicianship, from the
beginner/intermediate student who is interested in understanding and
playing the Blues to more advanced players that need new ideas to help
stimulate their creativity. It is also useful as a tool for improving
one’s sight reading abilities with the examples being in many different
keys and rhythms. The 12 bar Blues progression and the Blues scale are
also explained. Included with this book is a CD with each example
recorded twice. The first version of each example has the saxophone
playing along with a rhythm section and the second version just has the
rhythm section playing so that the saxophonist can play along. An
optional MIDI disk in General MIDI format is available.
