2020 Christmas Project

2020 is going to be a very different Christmas from what all of us have known before, but it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t get together and do our traditional students Christmas Project.

All our pieces are taken from this book

A Jazzy Christmas Alto Sax

A Jazzy Christmas Tenor Sax

Sadly, this years can’t be found in the latest edition of the book so PLEASE DO GET THE BOOK, but download the files here

On your recoding you SHOULD PLAY WITH HEADPHONES so I can only hear you!

All The Things You Are – Open Project

We’ve done a number of student projects over the years, most notably at Christmas, but as we can’t have a students summer concert this year, I wanted to put together a video that is open to EVERYONE, playing the great Jerome Kern standard ‘All The Things You Are.’

If you are working at a higher level then please take a look at the Kenny Dorham tune ‘Prince Albert’ which is a Contrafact over the top of the changes to ‘All The Things You Are’. What I want is the head, one solo and the out head. I’ll then edit everything together and share it on Social Media!

When you’re done – email your VIDEO (preferably just with your sax, use headphones for the backing track) in landscape mode to [email protected] – DEADLINE IS 30TH JUNE 2020.

Of course if you really want to get to grips with this, take the Coleman Hawkins ‘All The Things You Are Transcription Course’.
