Written by a jazz teacher for jazz teachers, "The Real Jazz Pedagogy Book" is based on the premise that successful jazz teachers must be constantly working four main areas: 1) the wind instruments-including tone production, intonation, and section playing skills; 2) playing styles correctly-such as rhythmic and time feel approach, articulation approach, and phrasing; 3) the rhythm section-playing the instruments, time feel and concept, coordination of comping, harmonic voicings, drum fills and setups, stylistic differences; and 4) the soloists-developing improvisational skills (both right brain and left brain), jazz theory, the ballad soloist, and the vocal soloist. Ray Smith, who has taught and directed jazz ensembles, including the acclaimed Brigham Young University group, Synthesis, and given private lessons for over forty years, also discusses the details of running school programs. Smith's YouTube channel complements "The Real Jazz Pedagogy Book."

"Who can resist the call of the saxophone? This expressive instrument is at the very heart of 20th-century music. Celebrating the Saxophone is a colorful and affectionate look at its richly diverse history. Paul Lindemeyer follows its progress from the 1840s Paris workshop of Adolphe Sax, through years of obscurity in band music, to its eventual fame in 1920s America, to the election of a sax-playing President." "The saxophone is best known as the symbol - and musical standard-bearer - of jazz. Celebrating the Saxophone illustrates its role in the music from early times - when Sidney Bechet became the pioneer jazz saxman - to the present, when artists like Branford Marsalis have won unparalleled public acceptance. The saxophone's development as the creative jazz voice is traced in profiles of its great innovators - among them Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins, and John Coltrane. Yet jazz is only part of the story. Classical saxophonists have been gaining long-overdue acceptance. And the horn has played many roles in popular music - from the ragtime virtuosity of Rudy Wiedoeft, to the big band era, to the ever-popular David Sanborn."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

In the first fully comprehensive study of one of the world's most iconic musical instruments, Stephen Cottrell examines the saxophone's various social, historical, and cultural trajectories, and illustrates how and why this instrument, with its idiosyncratic shape and sound, became important for so many different music-makers around the world.After considering what led inventor Adolphe Sax to develop this new musical wind instrument, Cottrell explores changes in saxophone design since the 1840s before examining the instrument's role in a variety of contexts: in the military bands that contributed so much to the saxophone's global dissemination during the nineteenth century; as part of the rapid expansion of American popular music around the turn of the twentieth century; in classical and contemporary art music; in world and popular music; and, of course, in jazz, a musical style with which the saxophone has become closely identified.
