From the Publisher

A new and exciting way for alto and baritone saxophone players to learn and practice basic jazz style.

This book/CD set features 15 solo etudes based on blues and standard chord progressions, demonstrated by Jim Snidero on alto saxophone along with a world-class rhythm section: Mike LeDonne, piano; Peter Washington, bass; and Kenny Washington, drums.
