This book presents a practical method for the construction of hexatonic scales that are useful for both the improviser and composer. Many modern piano players use hexatonic voicings by stacking the triads to create a particular harmony. We improvise in the sound of the voicing and using hexatonic voicings and lines can lend a very contemporary sound.

The etudes are catchy, fun to play, and written idiomatically for the saxophone.

Like all of Greg Fishman's books, all saxophonists (soprano/alto/tenor/bari) read the same written part, ensuring that the pieces lay perfectly on the horn, while the rhythm section transposes the accompaniment to accommodate the saxophonist's range.

This book is the perfect follow-up for students who have completed Fishman's Jazz Phrasing for Beginners. It's also a great primer for Fishman's more advanced books, Jazz Saxophone Etudes, Volumes 1 & 2.
