Synopsis

Jazz Saxophone Duets - Volume 3 (Intermediate Level) by Greg Fishman features ten duets which are just as fun and catchy as Greg's first two saxophone duet books, but at slower tempos. In addition to the easier tempos, the writing is less technically challenging than Greg's fist two duet books, making this the perfect duet book for all intermediate-level players. Advanced players will also love this book, because the rhythm section really swings hard and these duets are especially catchy and melodic. This book features ten duets for two altos, two tenors or alto & tenor saxophone. Like all of Greg's books, the rhythm section plays all of the pieces in two different keys, allowing both alto and tenor players to read the same written part. This unique feature ensures that the parts lay perfectly on all saxophones. In addition, the second half of the book features the duets arranged for alto and tenor, making this one of the most flexible duet books on the market. Jazz Saxophone Duets includes three play-along CDs with 40 play-along tracks on each disc. Each disc is a fun 78 minute musical workout.
