What Is Rhythm 'n' Blues
Saxophone
Listen to Illinois Jacquet's blistering solo on the Lionel
Hampton version of 'Flying Home', and you very well might have the blueprint.
This type of horn playing can be found in many different forms of music;
from Rhythm 'n' Blues and Swing, to Rock 'n' Roll and Jump Jive. The main
ingredient in all these styles is the sound; your Saxophone needs to have
that Honk, that Wail or that Buzz. Most of the great players of this style
in the late 1940s and 1950s, were called 'Honkers'...
Using This Book
Playing Rhythm 'n' Blues Saxophone is not an Exact Science; a
lot of players use different techniques and tricks to shape their own
style of playing. Some Honkers use certain tricks much more frequently
in their shows than others, and just because you hear two players growling
on their horn does not necessarily mean they are producing the sound in
the same way. You may find that when you start trying some of the exercises
in this book, some work better than others. When trying false fingerings
you may find you hear no difference in the note, as on certain makes of
Horn some work better than others. If I try a G false fingered note on
my old Silversonic...
