🎷Thanks for watching!


In this week's lesson you'll learn, one instrument at a time, how to improve your sax section playing in a big band. I demonstrate by adding the saxes one at a time to Count Basie's version of 'In A Mellow Tone'. You can even play along with the score on screen. In my Inner Circle Membership (link above) you'll get the music minus one backing tracks and the PDF parts as well, plus much more!
