Broadway by Special Arrangement is a collection of eleven songs arranged for the instrumentalist wanting to play in a Jazz style -without the need to learn to improvise. The 'classically' trained amateur or professional performer or the intermediate-level student (III-IV) will enjoy playing these expertly arranged Broadway melodies just for fun or to include as a light piece on a recital or solo-feature concert performance. The ballads and medium-tempo and up-tempo swing tunes are arranged with a play through of the melody followed by a written-out 'variation chorus a return to the melody and an earcatching ending. The piano bass and drumaccompaniment CD will put you right in the band. The CD includes both the solo instrument with the accompaniment track and an accompanimet-alone track for each selection. The inexperienced performer can learn the appropriate style of playing and be comfortable playing in the jazz style before playing along with the rhythm section track. All of the instrument books are for the most part compatible with only minimal changes in the 'variation' section to accommodate the ranges (sometimes including octave options) and unique characteristics of the instruments -but all can be played together. The three-line piano accompaniment book provides a rhythmic 'comping' with chord voicings written out plus the flute part to help in following the soloist or even for the pianist to take a chorus. For the jazzer here is a chance to learn Broadway tunes and to explore playing ballads and the swing style of popular standards. Chord symbols are included to allow for improvistation. By combining his jazz-keyboard chops his 25 years as an instrumental instructor and his superb composing and arranging skills Carl Strommen presents a fully playable exciting and tastefully arranged collection of these immortal and memorable Broadway titles.

Par LONDEIX JEAN-MARIE. '...Après le premier cahier à l'usage des débutants, le second vise à rendre séduisante l'étude progressive du saxophone alto, soucieux d'insuffler aux élèves des accoutumances de travail efficientes et attentif à la divergence de leurs aptitudes respectives. Les problèmes du phrasé et de l'accentuation y sont abordés au même titre que ceux d'articulation et de respiration. Réfutant la sécheresse et l'aridité, il consiste en une série de textes brefs, judicieusement gradués en leur diversité, nantis d'annotations adéquates - les uns sont empruntés à bon escient au folklore, les autres adaptés avec discernement des thèmes de Maîtres du passé ou conçus spécifiquement par des compositeurs contemporains sollicités à cette fin. La préoccupation d'une base technique indispensable n'exclut guère celle de la musicalité toujours en éveil, en cet ouvrage élaboré sous le double signe du scrupule et de la clairvoyance... ' René Bernier En composant cet ouvrage, l'auteur a cherché avant tout à faire du jeune élève non seulement un saxophoniste mais encore un musicien. Sa seconde préoccupation a été de l'amener le plus agréablement possible, et si jeune soit-il, à 'posséder' son instrument - par exemple, à pouvoir jouer un texte nouveau en première lecture, sinon en seconde. Pour cela, les 'formules de mécanisme' susceptibles de l'aider à s'affranchir rapidement des premières difficultés propres au saxophone (sans omettre les difficultés de lecture) n'ont pas été ménagées. De même que pour le premier cahier et tenant toujours compte des possibilités actuelles des jeunes écoliers, chaque leçon correspond, en principe, à une semaine de travail et le cahier au degré 'Préparatoire'. A titre d'exemple, il est proposé pour chaque séance de musique: 5 à 10 minutes de Sons Filés et Sons Droits, 10 à 15 minutes de Gammes, 10 à 15 minutes de Formules de Mécanisme et 5 à 10 minutes de morceau - version anglaise: Playing the Saxophone - Editions Henry Lemoine - version allemande: Saxophone Spielend Leicht - Schulz (Fribourg) - version italienne: Il Sassofono nella nuovo didattica - Ed.
