Charlie Parker Omnibook for Saxophone

Sixty solos transcribed from his recordings. Plus scale syllabus and biography. Includes 'Back Home Blues', 'Red Cross', 'Ko-Ko', 'Visa' and 'Chi Chi'.

Please note, the Bb version of this book features the original solos transposed in to the correct key for Tenor and Soprano. As these solos were originally played on Alto, they do not naturally fit onto the range of the sax when played in Bb. Some adjustments will be need to be made to make work on a Soprano or Tenor. This is still a valuable resource for musicians looking to play the music and songs of Charlie Parker in their original key. If you wish to focus purely on the language and solos of the master improviser, the Eb version may be better for this application.
