Jazz Etudes
|
"With these etude books, Jeff Ellwood has made a valuable contribution to the jazz education lexicon. Besides having some really great lines, these etudes also have a lot of beautifully developed melodic material. They demonstrate how to develop simple melodies and motifs, which is an essential part of "telling a story" when one is improvising. Highly recommended for players of all levels!" - Rick Margitza Jeff Ellwood has long been a favorite saxophone player of mine, and now you can get a glimpse into his genius with these awesome etude books he's written. I highly recommend them to all jazz musicians, beginner and professional alike. - Ricky Sweum These etudes are killin' - Dino Govoni These etudes are awesome and so much fun to play – Tony Lakatos Jeff Ellwood was kind enough to send me a couple of these etudes. I really love the way they read and the story they tell which gave me a peek into the creative mind of this baddass musician. – Sal Lozano |
