S1045: Groove Connection Alto Sax (Volume 1) by Klaus Dickbauer. Universal Edition, 2014, SS, 39 pages + CD. A new approach! We tend to take up music study, because we enjoy playing our instrument.

The Groove Connection is published for various instruments, but all are designed to work together in duo, trio, and larger ensemble enjoyment. While this volume is not focused on jazz, unlike volume 2, it does include some improvisation. The included CD is useful for classroom and individual study.

His modern approach to elementary technique can be a highly effective training tool for developing improvisation skills. In the first volume, Dickbauer covered major scales, triads, and interval exercises, combined with groovy beats, in a fresh and contemporary way. He now continues his well-thought-out approach to scales with a concentration on Dorian, Mixolydian, pentatonic, and blues scales, the perfect tools for building first improvisation skills. Methodically sound exercises train students in patterns and motifs to equip them with a sense of confidence and an appetite for learning the art of improvisation. Some of the exercieses have three parts. The CD will be a valuable aid for learning improvisation. Click on the cover image to view a sample page from this book.

Bob Mintzer has written out etude solos that traverse the changes in a way that familiarizes you with the sound of each harmonic setting. Each etude is modeled after ideas---such as melodic and rhythmic patterns that create continuity---and singable melodies that he recommends using when improvising through the chord changes.Using the included TNT 2 software, listen to and analyze the etudes, and by removing Mintzer's saxophone from the mix, you can then practice and play these harmonic exercises on your own with a stellar rhythm section. The TNT 2 software allows you to slow down the tempo, too. Click here to listen to a sample etude. Click on the cover image to view the Table of Contents and the first page of the first etude.

/ S535: Reading Key Jazz Rhythms Alto or Baritone Saxophone by Fred Lipsius. Advance Music, 1996, SS, 68 pages + CD. This is a collection of 24 easy to medium level jazz etudes, and 24 simplified guide tone versions of the etudes. They are ideal for learning the basic language of jazz, swing phrasing, and articulation. The guide tone etudes (guide tones are the essential or defining notes for each given chord type) are followed by a melodious version as the chord changes might actually be performed (the rhythms are the same in both versions). On the accompanying CD the soloist (Fred Lipsius) demonstrates the 24 melodious etudes together with a professional rhythm section. You can also improvise along with the play-along tracks using the chord symbols. So if improvising is new to you and you find yourself getting lost, you can always return to a guide tone and play rhythmically around it. Any etude and its corresponding simplified guide tone version can be played together as a duet (with or without the CD accompaniment).
