Take The Lead Play-Along CD
by Joe Eckert
Masterclass Play-Along CD By Joe Eckert
After publication we discovered the sheet music for page 1 for Impressionable is missing 4 measures at the bottom. Click here for a free low resolution (fast downloading) printable PDF file of all the sheet music, including a corrected Impressionable.
Welcome to this “Take the Lead” masterclass play-along CD for Saxophone Journal. It was my great honor to play lead alto with the USAF Band’s Airmen of Note from 1984-2004. This masterclass will focus on some of the styles and performance practice that were a part of my daily routine as a professional lead player. You’ll hear the complete section on the demo track and then have the opportunity to “take the lead” when the section plays again without the lead part. I hope that this will be a good learning experience and enjoyable for those of you who choose to play along.
