GUEST MUSICIANS
Don McGinnis (bass) – Axle Grease
Tad Parker (drums) – Axle Grease, New Moon
It is my great pleasure to present this play-along CD for Saxophone Journal. My band, The Funkdawgs, has a unique twist however, in that all the recording for this play-along was done via the Internet and no two musicians were in the same room at the same time. This collection of tunes is intended to give any level of player, from beginner to advanced, the opportunity to concentrate on their sense of timing and groove. By keeping the tunes in relatively easy keys and using pretty straight ahead chord changes, any saxophonist can have some fun playing with a dynamite rhythm section.
