The addition of some bossa novas offer a pleasant contrast not present in his first two etude books. Volume 3 feels much like Volume 1 and 2 however the tempos are decidedly and intentionally slower for younger or less advanced students. Jazz Saxophone Etudes Volume 3 and Jazz Phrasing for Beginners by Greg Fishman offer the intermediate and beginner students the same quality of etudes as his first three books. The two newest books will find their place among saxophonists who are newer to the word of jazz. Fishman sounds equally adept on both the alto and tenor saxophone voices. His sound and pitch is something any teacher should have absolutely no trouble telling a student to use as a model while playing along at home. Not only is the information there for the taking but also Fishman’s demonstrations on both tenor and alto saxophone are swinging and flawless. Greg Fishman’s publications are outstanding gems with comprehensive information from explanation to play-along. The previous released Jazz Saxophone Etudes Volume 2 continued along the same path as his inaugural book. James Moody, Jerry Coker, Plas Johnson, Mark Colby, Gary Campbell and Bob Sheppard as well as the late Michael Brecker have all shared their praise for Fishman’s books.

The pages turn automatically, although you might need to adjust your iPad settings, so that the screen doesn’t go to sleep in the middle of your practice session. Greg obviously worked with an experienced app designer the interface requires no explanation, and it works very well. At the bottom of the screen, you have the option of playing back “rhythm & sax,” or “rhythm only.” Since these are geared more for beginners, it makes sense to listen to the full recording, to start practicing playing along with the recorded saxophone track, and then to move up to playing along with the rhythm section alone. They work very well, providing the full text of the original books, and a tappable table of contents to access each etude. The Jazz Phrasing apps, for alto or tenor, were the first to be introduced.
