I’ve got ‘Jimmy Dorsey Saxophone Method – a school of rhythmic saxophone playing’ book – and it’s a tough one for me to work – he doesn’t take any prisoners!
it’s aimed at dance band music playing – with lots of rhythmic sax playing exercises. The last half of the book covers improvising with lots of chord exercises.
at the end of the book it has music for-
‘Oodles of noodles’
‘Tailspin’
‘waddlin at the waldorf’
‘dusk in sandusky’
It just lots of technical exercises with emphasis on developing sight reading technic!
If i could play everything in that book – i would be on the dance band crowd for sure!
