MAYFAIR THE Bluesier Side Of Jazz For Alto Saxophone By Andrew Gordon Cd Included

The Bluesier Side of Jazz for Alto Saxophone and Eb instruments by Andrew D. Gordon was inspired by the piano students he taught at Cornel School of Contemporary Music in Los Angeles. As with many students that come from a classical background it is a difficult transition to learn to play Blues & Jazz. When a musician improvises they usually play a variety of riffs or phrases that they have developed and learned over a period of time and can access these phrases instantaneously whatever key they are playing in to create a seamless improvised solo from the phrases they have learned.
