Hey sx poet just thought of this guy here in the states named Jamey Aebersold he’s a jazz head but has phenomenal Blues CD’s with books transposed for Bb Eb Concert and inexpensive!!
I’ve learned MUCH!! from the man . he lives on this side of the pond in Indiana, you can get a book and 2 CD”s for 15.00 bucks. I recommend Nothing but the Blues and Blues in all Keys,
it will open your playing and your mind tell Jeff as well, also come on over on this side and attend one of his band camps, he is the Real Deal. I think you will like him. WWW. jazzbooks.com

James, I think we have all made a comment on a Blog like this that was biased toward the things that were of interest to us. So don’t take one isolated comment as the impetus to not participate and enjoy this site. Jazz Cat graciously rejoined the dialogue, though he found offense in some prior exchange, so kudo’s to one who can keep their eye on the journey and not choose to end it by the inevitable occasional distractions.
I for one like to read about learning to record my instrument, and Johnny has a topic devoted to that which for months on end had few comments. So just like our TV we can turn to the channels, and not have to read what has doesn’t interest us. Perhaps it might be more appropriate to use that topic so that the organization of this site is better.
Having a place to share your music is one rewarding aspect of becoming a musician. So doing a quality recording kinda goes hand in hand with venues like this that the internet offers to us. I have only been asked or had 2 opportunities to perform with my sax for the 3 years that I’ve been learning, so this site has been one means for me to share music! (the Journey…)

Thank goodness Johnny had the heart for teaching his acquired Pro Sax skills! Where would we be now if not for this website? Just because the site is called ‘how to play saxophone’ does not mean that it is dedicated solely for teaching the sax. It must include the whole sphere of producing music with the sax, including playing, music theory, recording, production etc. Where else are we going to discuss these audio skills? This site is also a place where professional players can share their experience and contribute tips. It doesn’t have to solely be about acquiring personal knowledge, sharing what we have learnt and giving back to others is important too. The least time we spend hassling with problems, the more time we have to play the Sax. If you lose interest in this site you may have lost interest in playing your Sax! I’ve learnt a great deal here from Pro’s and beginners like myself – Cheers Guys!
