SAXOPHONE MASTERCLASS WITH DAVID LIEBMAN 2015

In 1989 I made a video titled “The Complete Guide to Saxophone Sound Production” explaining the principles of playing the horn. This new DVD set (five hours) shot at Roberto’s Saxophone Shop in New York (2015) with students present is a complete update of all my teaching materials on the subject.

DEVELOPING A PERSONAL SAXOPHONE SOUND

28-2-5-im-Shop_Item_Cover_Art-7394(Available in German, Japanese, Italian, Chinese, Czech and French)

Book for all Saxophonists

This book describes the physiology of sound production and the mechanics involved. The emphasis is upon freeing up the involved muscles and parts of the body so that they can operate in a natural instinctive manner. With these difficulties alleviated, the aspiring saxophonist has the opportunity to find his/her own inner voice. Including diagrams and exercises, this material represents Lieb’s personal interpretation of the studies he did with master teacher Joe Allard.

“This book would be an important and valuable addition to any teacher’s library.”

The Influence of John Coltrane’s Music on Improvising Saxophonists:

Comparing Selected Improvisations of Coltrane, Jerry Bergonzi and David Liebman

 Andrew N Sugg
Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music
Monash University – Australia
with a Forward by David Liebman

A ground-breaking study that examines the magnitude of jazz legend, John Coltrane’s influence, from an analytical perspective, on post-Coltrane saxophonists in the development of their improvisatory styles and creative approaches to this important musical genre.

This study breaks important new ground … this is the first major publication to focus directly on two post-Trane players … an analytical masterpiece. Anyone who studies Coltrane should have this book.”

Dr. David Demsey

Coordinator of Jazz Studies, William Patterson University, USA

“Everybody talks about the profound influence of Coltrane, but saxophonist Andy Sugg shows us in detail how this influence works. This is a valuable study!”
