Exercise Number #7 from Basic Jazz Conception by Lennie Niehaus
This is Exercise #7 from Basic Jazz Conception for Saxophone by Lennie Niehaus. The aim is to learn to play the phrase with 2 snaps, lean, slur, snap then accent. To play the lean, imagine you're pressing on a jelly!
The guide tempo is 'Moderate Swing' but you can play it at any speed provided you can play the phrasing accurately.
When you are going for the top notes (lever keys) practise them softly first before you try and add the accents - the temptation is to strangle them by biting the mouthpiece and blowing too hard because people get stressed by high notes! Play them softly to show that you have the breath control, then add the attack.
Good luck!
P.S. the copyright of course belongs to Lennie Niehaus and Try Publishing Company - this is just my interpretation for teaching purposes.

Please note I don't own the copyright to this! I have just used my ears and written down what I can hear so that my saxophone student(s) can learn it. It was originally on a tenor and improvised in places so I have written it to be as playable as possible - the idea is to be able to learn to have fun and learn to play it so it needs to be readable. It's recorded on my phone so please excuse the...

This is for StarM - it was the first tune I ever played for him and he cried...(in a nice way!) Anyway - the backing is helpfully provided by the London Karaoke Backing Track Band (2012) which is available on iTunes. The rest is down to me after a quick look at the words to remind me how it goes. It would be better with a live band and a proper mic - at the moment I am recording by putting the ...

This is my version of "She's Leaving Home" by The Beatles. I used the backing track from Guest Spot Jazz Playalong for Saxophone and then did my own thing. All the improvisations are just that - improvisations and I tend to base them on what I can hear rather than using a chord sequence. For some reason my computer decided to come on when I was recording and shine its monitor at me so the light...

Theme from Poirot from "Guest Spot TV Hits" arranged by QUENTIN THOMAS (Alto Saxophone). This is for StarM and my saxophone student(s) and is my interpretation of the piece. Sorry if the sound quality is a little dodgy - I've had to balance the backing speakers on the arms of my chair!

Thank you! You have the exercise 8 ?
Wow excellent 😊
so lovely <3
Wow! You sound great
A beautiful rendition and I love the improvisation. It makes so much more of a fairly simple tune. Congratulations!
Very good
well done excellent
Accent or not, the phrase does not flow as it should because they make a serious mistake ;-) You must never breathe inside a phrase. In this case it is the eighth pause on 3 :) - and that's where you take a breath every time - and that's fundamentally wrong!!!!
Beatiful!!! Partitura??? Please
nice!
beautiful
Wow, that sound very nice, thanks for your video.
