15 Easy Jazz, Blues & Funk Etudes: Tenor Sax (Instrumental Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is very good for a player who has played for a year or 2. The music is quite easy but sounds so good you will be whistlin' the tunes to yourself after playing them.. Lots of great ideas to use over blues changes etc. Highly recommended.Perhaps the person who gave this 1 star shoul;d take some lessons...

15 Easy Jazz, Blues & Funk Etudes: Bass Clef Instrument (Instrumental Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have enjoyed playing through Mintzer's other books, '14 Jazz and Funk Etudes' and '14 Jazz and Blues Etudes' and have been able to work on some of these with my advanced high school students.

'15 Easy Jazz/Blues/Funk Etudes' is appropriate for a broader range of high school level trombonists, but most junior high kids won't be able to deal with the 2 octave range (spans one octave in each direction from "tuning note" Bb). The "easy" connotation seems to refer to a more basic rhythmic and harmonic complexity. This book would be accessible to more players if it were written down a 3rd or 4th.
