How To Play The Blues Masterclass Play-Along CD
by Eric Morones
Click here for Eb sheet music parts for this CD (a PDF file).
Hello and welcome to my Saxophone Journal masterclass play-along CD titled “How to play the blues.” The blues has been called a soulful, deep, sophisticated, style of music that evolved historically in the United States. It is a music whose roots stem from Afro-American slaves expressing their terrible plight through field hollers, shouts, chants, spirituals, and praise songs. Throughout the history of blues music it has gone through many stages, from early work song blues, up through the many different styles of music that are in vogue today, i.e., ragtime, jazz, bluegrass, rhythm and blues, rock ‘n roll, hip-hop, country, even conventional pop music.
