For many musicians playing in a big band is an ultimate high point. The special line-up of the big band guarantees amazing tuttis but equally allows the opportunity to perform quiet ballads. Playing in the wind section of a big band is an experience you will not forget in a hurry. Unfortunately, playing a solo – as the word suggests – is reserved for only a few. However, with this book, you can be the centre of attention, as you get the opportunity to play the leading part in these swinging pieces! On the enclosed CD you will hear fantastic solos which give you a good idea of the how it should be done. Of course you do not have to copy the solo, you can also improvise to the written chords. Almost all the pieces have been newly written in the style of the great big bands but you will also come across two famous hits: Barry Manilow’s sultry Copacabana and Stevie Wonder’s fabulous You Are the Sunshine of My Life. Big Band Highlights for Alto/Tenor Saxophone as composed and arranged by Johan Plomp. Includes play-along CD.

Twenty-eight great songs which he has made famous. Includes numbers such as 'Angel Eyes', 'Fly Me To The Moon' and 'Somethin' Stupid'.

Sing It First explains jazz trombonist Wycliffe Gordon's approach to the Trombone. Wycliffe's approach is to hear the music before playing it, to sing the technique before perfecting it. It's a different kind of approach. It combines playing and singing to the degree that one blends into the other. There have been (and are) a number of singing brass players including: Trumpet - Louis Armstrong, Chet Baker, Jack Sheldon, Louis Prima, Bunny Berigan, Dizzy Gillespie, Clark Terry, Ghandi Burgess, Tom Harrell and Jon Faddis Trombone - Jack Teagarden, Wycliffe Gordon, Emory Remington (who sang for his students), Billy Eckstein, Jerry Colonna, Bill Watrous and Frank Rosolino Very often their singing reflects their playing. "The consummate artist/teacher, Dr. Wycliffe Gordon has a unique talent for clearing the obstacles from the path leading to mastery of the instrument. He communicates his process clearly, directly and honestly, and his desire and ability to “pass it on” comes through loud and clear." Cheryl Y. Boga Conductor and Director, Performance Music, The University of Scranton
