Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band Play-Alongs are the perfect opportunity
to sit in with outstanding players from the Big Phat Band in order to
measure and improve your ability. Learn volumes of information about
style, phrasing, tone, dynamics, technique, articulation, playing in
time, Latin grooves, and a variety of swing styles as you play along and
listen to the players in the Phat Band. Performance tips and suggestions
from the Big Phat Band's lead players and Gordon himself are included in
each book. The Alto and Tenor Sax books include tips from Eric
Marienthal, who can be heard on recordings with artists such as Chick
Corea Electric Band and the Rippingtons. Since improvisation is
important for saxes, chord changes for solo sections are included on the
play-along recording, and selected transcriptions of the solos recorded
by various band members are also included.
