BUY THIS BOOK The Omni Book in C... I play guitar, classic and electric. I bought this book to help me improvise jazz, and learn jazz standards. My problem reading the tricky rhythms well, but I've now gotten over that and im just flying through this book at slower tempos. I LOVE how they include references for the audio recordings the solos were transcribed from, because if you can hear what the tune sounds like it makes it way easier. its good for travel, very flexible book. I would say that if you play through every tune in this book at least once, preferably twice, you will be MUCH better. want to do jazz? BUY THIS BOOK! | ||
Great Buy for any sax player I got this for my upcoming lessons in college and so far its great. I play alto sax and its alot of fun to be able to play along with bird. The only thing the book dosen't have is the recordings. Something from his verve years should cover just about everything though, I put a link on here for a cd collection. Theres some stuff that he recorded with savoy as well but most of it should be in the verve collection. The Complete Verve Master Takes Its some great stuff and the transcriptions are great. highly recommended | ||
A Must Have The transcriptions are spot on and a huge time saver for anyone who wants to learn Bird's patterns and doesn't have the proper equipment or time to transcribe em' his/herself. I learn more and more through this book every day. It's absolutely worth transcribing pieces on your own sometimes but to get a collection of this magnitude, and accurate as it is, would be really time-consuming. This Eb version is a necessity for any serious jazz alto players - personally i think the some version of it should be in EVERY MUSICIAN'S library. | ||
Excellent for all instrumentalists Whether you are a saxophonist trying to follow bird' s steps or a pianist wnting to improve your reading and improvisational skills, this book is a true jewel. | ||
Seriously now, it's Bird If you want to play great bebop lines, you immitate the master. If there is a better way to immitate the master than working this book on the metronome, I haven't encountered it yet. This book has become the standard for Bird transcriptions. If you're serious about playing bop, you won't be disappointed by this book. | ||
