Gordon 100 Ultimate Jazz-Funk Grooves

With "100 Ultimate Jazz-Funk Grooves for Alto Sax" you can dive straight into the infectious soundscape of jazz-funk. Andrew D. Gordon presents a versatile collection of 100 grooves that bring the characteristic mix of syncopated rhythms, distinctive bass lines, sophisticated harmonies and catchy melodies to life. Most of the examples are compact eight-bar grooves, ideal for practicing, trying out and developing your own playing.

The volume is aimed equally at advanced players who want to expand their repertoire, as well as amateur saxophonists, students and teaching situations in which a sense of style, timing and phrasing in the field of jazz funk are to be specifically trained. The grooves invite you not only to play them accurately, but also to add your own musical expression.

Particularly practical: each of the 100 grooves has been recorded twice. First in a version with alto saxophone and backing band, then as a play-along track with rhythm section to put what you have learned directly into practice. This quickly turns practicing into inspiring playing with a real band feeling.

An attractive volume for anyone who wants to discover or deepen the groovy, energetic sound of jazz funk on the alto saxophone. In addition, each groove is based on the chord progression of a song section listed in the index, which gives the collection a particularly practical feel.
