This book is a great introduction to playing jazz for young saxophone enthusiasts. I loved playing the music and have found it the most beneficial and enjoyable CD playalong book I have purchased. I recommend it to anyone who likes to play good music!
Sara McCullough

I love this book! Has quite a few jazz greats in and is a good playalong for a chill out in lessons!

Highly recommended and great fun!

I ordered this for my daughter who's been playing for about a year. Some of the tunes are fairly straightforward and some need quite a bit of practice so there's a good variety. The backing track is fantastic especially the big band numbers like Fly me to the Moon. The only downside is that the backing is on 2 discs, one with soloist and backing and the other cd just the backing, so we had to keep swapping discs over during practice. The music doesn't have the track reference numbers with it either so you have to work it out for yourself. But on the whole a fab book with a good variety of the classic jazz tunes, latin and swing.

The backing music is great, well arranged and loads of fun. I would recommend this to anyone who really wants to have fun with jazz - it's great to be able to hear the sax and play along to it and then play on your own.

I've found this a fantastic book, especially because of the backing tracks, it includes all the numbers you could want to play.
