Glen Gagnier said Tenor players - buy this. This book is exactly what I was looking for - a chorus by chorus transcription of Coltrane's famous solos, written for tenor sax. It also has some historical notes and dates, but the important thing is the written solos I've been listening to and trying to emulate for years. What a great study and practice tool! Great for sight-reading and for seeing exactly how good Trane was. This is a Tenor player's wish come true, like the Parker Omnibook for alto.. "A very good product!" according to Gunnar Sedvallson. I was very happy to recieve, read an analyse the description of John Coltrane's music.And the quality of the book was ecellent!Thank You!Gunnar Sedvallson, Uppsala, Sweden. Transcriptions *&* text about theory Lenny Rothbart In addition to the transcriptions (written for Bb instruments), there's an excellent text describing the theory behind the "Giant Steps" chord changes.
