Description
One of the most challenging problems that will be encountered by young saxophonists, is attempting jazz articulations and phrasing. While focussing on technique, Lennie Niehaus method is one which clearly stresses the fundamental rhythms, articulations and phrasings commonly used by Jazz groups. These are the keys that unlock proper Jazz conception and are the elements which usually requires the most time. This method can save you months or even years!
The first section consists of twelve exercises, each stressing different rhythmic patterns which reinforce basic elements. The second section consists of ten enjoyable tunes which utilise all the material within the exercises, making this an invaluable source for the young saxophone player.
