Bob Mintzer - 14 Blues & Funk Etudes

Bob Mintzer 14 Blues & Funk Etudes PDF for Bb Instruments (Tenor Sax, Soprano Sax, Clarinet). A collection of studies composed for musicians who wish to extend themselves in improvisation, composition, sight reading and general musicianship skills. Each etude has a theoretical explanation, suggestions for performance and tips for practice routines. 1 CD of combo accompaniments performed by members of the Yellow jackets are included. All books are compatible and written so that they can be performed together.
It's about time someone put together a book that when they say it is for tenor saxophone, it actually has a tenor saxophone player both writing and demonstrating how it can be played. This is great material for sight-reading and improvising.
The funk etudes are so cheesy. But luckily he's got some good solos to practice memorizing odd diatonic scales.  Fun to groove on and lets you get some new harmonic ideas.
