Swing Favorites - Alto Sax: Big Band Play-Along Volume 1 (Hal Leonard Big Band Play-Along)

Not really any good as you just sit with a Big band Sound and the part you are playing is already played throughout the pieces. I am a big fan of Hal Leonard publications but find this Edition not challenging, not rewarding, and really of no use. I hope this saves someone some Money!

Superb book. My grown-up Daughter started to learn the saxophone a few months ago. She is very enthusiastic but has little spare time. This book has inspired her and confirmed her suspicions that this is the type of music she would like to play. At the suggestion of their teacher she is now in the process of setting up a band of the students. All this has come about through the inspiration of this book.

Great arrangements, fabulous backing tracks. Would highly recommend this series.

The handwritten font is a bit difficult to read - and the songs are a challenge enough without the need for an unclear font for the music script.

excellent big band play-along for the intermediate saxophonist

Nice selection of songs, bought to practice some small BB pieces for soloing etc. Keeps me smiling and not too expensive!

Great selection of songs. Helping me develop my big band playing skills.

amazing help and a great tool for learning very impressed with the book. Helps me to stretch my ability considerably
