The Jazz Saxophonist

A 'must-have' program for students, teachers, and Jazz buffs!

The Jazz Saxophonist is a professional, fully featured music program containing studio-recordings of great jazz saxophone music. Listen to hot session players perform great sounding jazz music, while you learn the riffs and tricks! We've recorded each instrument (sax, piano, bass and drums) on a separate track, allowing you to listen to each part independently. Powerful multimedia features let you study the arrangements, hear the music, and play along with top studio musicians. With seamlessly integrated MultiTrack audio, MIDI, chord symbols, and music notation, The Jazz Saxophonist turns a typical sound card equipped PC into a jazz performance powerhouse.

Jam with the Band!

The Multimedia features of The Jazz Saxophonist give you the ability to mute or solo any audio track independently and study or play the part yourself. On-screen notation shows you the music and chord progressions as it scrolls by in perfect time with the band. Unlike an ordinary CD recording, you can precisely control the audio mix by adjusting the volume and balance controls for each instrument.

Hot Jazz!

Play The Jazz Saxophonist through your computer speakers in jukebox mode for listening enjoyment or "jamming". Playback continues in the background of other programs so you can listen to your favorite music while you work. Select your own playlist of favorite songs, or let the program automatically play the entire library. All you need is a personal computer and a love of great jazz music!

Learn the Riffs.

Develop pro skills by studying the extensive performance notes. Each song is explained with 'inside' descriptions of techniques such as altissimo, shakes, growls and more. Advanced multimedia features directly link each performance note to a real example in the music tracks. Loop, Pause, Advance and Backup controls make learning easy. With The Jazz Saxophonist you don't just hear how it's played, you see how it's played!
