OR SAXES ONLY! JAZZ DUETS FOR SAXOPHONE By Greg Yasinitsky

B^PB

JAZZ DUETS FOILSAXOPJHONE By Greg Yasinitsky Playing duets is a great way to work on style, phrasing, intonation and blend, and it's a fun way to make music with friends. This collection of jazz duets includes some great American standards by George Gershwin, Cole Porter and others; a jazz classic by Dizzy Gillespie; and a few originals composed especially for this book. These duets may be played on El> saxophones: two altos, two baritones or an alto/baritone combination; or they may be played on two Bl> saxophones: two tenors, two sopranos or a soprano/tenor combination. A variety of dynamics is employed throughout the duets, and the jazz articulations and phrasings are clearly marked. All the duets should be swung, cap accents should be played short and a light tongue should be used for the offbeat phrasing on eighth-note lines. I suggest listening to the CD for phrasing, articulation and style interpretation. The enclosed CD includes my overdubbed playing of all the duets, first played on alto saxophones and then played on tenor saxophones. These duets may be played either by yourself with the CD or with a friend without the CD. To play the duets with the CD, simply turn off one of the stereo channels. I hope you have as much fun playing these jazz duets as I had writing and recording them for you. Greg Yasinitsky Thanks to the Yamaha Corporation of America for cover images
