As a sequel to "Jazz Conception For Saxophone Volume |", this method further developes
those fundamentals so necessary to the professional musician.
Although the text of this method stresses the various rhythmic patterns found in Volume I, the
material is more advanced and includes the latest meters (3/4 and 5/4) ina series of
20 etudes.
As reviewed in Volume 1, one of the most important things to keep in mind while playing
the etudes, is toploy the eighth notes correctly. Inthe past, abar of eighth
notes (Jd dddddd ) wos played os dotted eighths followed by sixteenth
notes (de Jae das dah a) )- It was believed thot eighth notes played in this
manner best exemplified the syncopated fee! of jazz. However, modern conception
demands that a bar of eighth notes be played as quarter notes followed by eighth notes
in atriplet figure J od du dd ). This notation most accurately defines the
2 2 4+
proper jazz conception to employ when playing ei ghth note patterns.
There are three phrasing marks which are used continually inthis method
> The note is accented and held its full value.
A The note is accented and played short.
— The note is given full value ond attacked with a legato tongue.
I must also stress that the legato tongue should be used frequently. With legato
tonguing, one can effectively play a steady flow of moving notes intermingled with
accents and tongued notes on different parts of the beat.ETUDE 1
