Includes a forward and discography

Do you like my books, but think the tempos are just too fast? This product, called, appropriately enough, "Amazing Slow Downer" is the perfect product for you. With this program, you can slow down music and keep it in the same key. Not only can you slow it down to a fraction of the tempo, changing it by just 1% at a time, but you can do all kinds of looping of phrases, and even transposing of phrases.

If all of this wasn't enough, the program will also let you change the key of any recording! If the recording is in F and you want to hear it up a fourth, you can simply move a slider on the computer screen, and you'll hear the song in the new key...any key you want. This is an indespensible practice tool, and I use and endorse this product.

Here are a few samples of my etudes "slowed down" by Amazing Slow Downer:

NEW! PRIVATE LESSONS WITH GREG FISHMAN FROM YOUR OWN HOME OR OFFICE

"Hi Greg--just want to let you know that I am thoroughly enjoying the lessons you’ve provided. I like the fact that I can send mp3s of me playing the assignments and shortly thereafter receive a very thorough and candid critique of my playing. Lessons by email help me out tremendously because I work a full-time job and have two young children.  My time is scarce, so any program that allows me to listen to lessons on the go and view assignments electronically is well worth the investment. Since my initial lesson, I have paid more attention to, among other aspects, theory, articulation, swing feel, tone, and phrasing. I enjoy your teaching style and I can really tell you have the knowledge and passion for teaching the jazz language. I look forward to working with you as I continue to reach a personal goal in jazz improvisation.

Also, my wife, co-workers, and I thought it quite cool that you evaluated my playing, sent me mp3s of you playing the examples, and assigned my lessons all while you were on tour in Bangkok. Thanks!"
---John Heraldo, Mechanicsville, VA

$75.00 Lesson by E-Mail with Greg Fishman

"As a reading musician who has primarily relied on my ear for more than twenty years to help me through jazz improvisation, I decided it was finally time to get to the next level in my playing. After meeting Greg Fishman at an Aebersold summer jazz workshop and realizing his depth of understanding of and passion for the music, I decided a few months later to pursue on-line lessons with him. Since then, I've been thrilled with the results, as I am now learning to think of the music more in terms of voice-leading and riffs, my technique and speed are going through the roof, and I am becoming much more comfortable with the theory behind the jazz. 

Greg's custom teaching style is remarkable, and he does a great job of communicating how to approach practicing the assigned lessons based on my current abilities.  I highly recommend web cam lessons with Greg for anyone who wants to become 'one' with the music, yet may not have easy access to a professional instructor of jazz saxophone."

“Greg Fishman dares to explore new musical heights. Every lesson in Greg’s books is a must for all musicians, and this latest book is no exception. Greg, you’ve done a beautiful, musical thing again!” ––James Moody

“Greg Fishman is a superb improvising instrumentalist who understands and utilizes the elements that have given jazz its unique identity and exciting appeal. That pervasive understanding has been masterfully portrayed in these very practical etudes without overwhelming the user with the need for excessive virtuosity or consummate reading ability. Listening to Greg's demo tracks, then learning to play the etudes with the provided accompaniment tracks will raise considerably the user's musicality and stylistic awareness. I highly recommend his books to anyone who loves jazz enough to want to get in on the action."  ––Jerry Coker

"I greatly enjoyed playing through Greg Fishman's Jazz Saxophone Etudes volume one. Nice, easy to remember melodic compositions that will improve your improvisation. Volume Two looks to be as good or better."  –– Plas Johnson

In September 2007, I had the honor of teaching and perfroming as an artist-in-residence at the University of North Carolina. Jim Ketch, head of the jazz studies program, made all of this possible. In addition to being an incredible trumpeter, Jim is a dedicated educator. I'm looking forward to many more visits to his school. Below are a few of Jim's comments and reflections on my stay at his school.

"Greg Fishman is an outstanding jazz artist and a superb clinician for university, college, and high school jazz programs. Greg has spent years studying the beauty and nuances of jazz expression and his tenor saxophone solos are the logical extension of his vivid aural imagination. He plays what he sings so convincingly. Every chorus is a rich model for study.

The joy in working with Greg is that he has all the intellectual gifts to explain his artistry in very clear terms. His deep love of the music and his total dedication to the art form were simply apparent in every minute of his four day artist residency at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The audiences were thrilled with Greg's stunningly beautiful improvised solos and my students and I were inspired to work harder and with more intention. Not only would I welcome Greg Fishman back as a guest artist and clinician, I would welcome him as a colleague on the bandstand, on the road, or in a teaching environment."

Breaking News, January 2008......

It was a great honor for me to be teaching alongside legendary jazz educators Jerry Coker and David Baker at the Jamey Aebersold Jazz Workshop from June 30 - July 13th. I had a wonderful time, and met some fantastic students and teachers from around the country. Thank you Jamey, for making me a part of your team!

The gig in Bangkok was a fantastic! A three week tribute to the music of Stan Getz. It was an honor to perform with such a fantastic group in a great setting! Plus, the promotion for the gig was amazing--check out the 20 foot sign above!

Mr. Koh (right) is the top saxophone player in Bangkok, and he set up a masterclass for me to teach ten saxophone instructors my approach to jazz improvisation. Koh was translating my comments into the Thai language for the group.

We had a great day at Koh's "Sax Society," a retail saxophone shop, and teaching center in Thailand, just outside of Bangkok.

Sax masterclass at Silpakorn University, Thailand

These masterclasses were a lot of fun, and everyone left the class with new ideas for practicing and improvising. If you're interested in having me give a masterclass at your school, please contact me by calling 847-334-3634. I'm currently booking masterclasses in the U.S., Asia, and Europe for the 2007 - 2008 school year.

I'm truly honored to be on the cover of the May/June 2007 issue
of Saxophone Journal. I've enjoyed this magazine since I started
playing in 1979, and I recommend it as a great resource for all saxophonists.

Jazz Saxophone Duets by Greg Fishman

"This is one of the most concise and easy to digest collection of solos over standard tune chord changes that I have seen. All the elements of good voice leading, passing notes and common scale usage are here. Very enjoyable!!"
––Dave Liebman

"I have known Greg Fishman for a long time. He has a very analytical mind. He knows how to get in between the cracks to give you what you need musically. This book is a good example of some of what he does. A lot of the students with whom I come in contact will definitively get this book on my recommendation. It looks deceivingly simple, but looks are deceiving. Greg is not only a fantastic saxophonist, he is a marvelous teacher. You can’t go wrong with anything that comes from Greg Fishman."
 ––James Moody

“I wish I had material like this when I was coming up. These etudes are little masterpieces. There is such a wealth of material to learn from here. Great line construction and great conceptual ideas. Having the rhythm section continue after the etude is a great idea! I will be using these with virtually all my students from now on. Greg Fishman has done a terrific job of putting this book together, and the play-along rhythm section is first class!“
 ––Mark Colby, Depaul University, Elmhurst College

"Your etude book is very well done. I've been using it to teach
phrasing."
––Bob Sheppard

"This book is a written version of the way jazz is supposed to be taught - learning from a great player who truly understands how to distill the language into clear, understandable terms. Chicago-based saxophonist Greg Fishman has composed a set of etudes based on standard tunes that are one of the best collections of this type I've seen. The lines he composes are textbook versions of postbop saxophone improvising, and will give students at all levels a wealth of material to practice and internalize. Fishman is equally well-versed as a teacher and as a saxophonist - it's a rare combination that is showcased in this book."
––David Demsey, William Paterson University, Saxophone Journal

"The book is really well done and perfect for my advanced high school students and beginning jazz majors here at UM." ––Gary Keller, Associate Jazz Saxophone Professor,
University of Miami

"A great new addition to any practice routine for students and professionals alike. Improves rhythm accuracy, flexibility,sight reading skills and strength in all registers and styles. . . and it's fun! Every saxophone player should be practicing these ." ––Tim Price

Hi Greg 

Great CD and a nice book!  The playing and writing is all really on the 
mark.  The book is really well done and perfect for my advanced high 
school students and beginning jazz majors here at UM.  I have 
recommended it to all of them.

This Book is one of the most important books in the last decade for teachers of jazz. It helps develop ears, eye-hand coordination and jazz language.

Thanks Greg!

Dear Greg,

Your book is tremendous and much needed.  I love the
flow of the lines and the beautiful voice leading.  The students really enjoy working out with it.

This will now be a required text in my studio.  Please let me know how we
can set this up with our bookstore. Thanks and congratulations on your great work.

Sincerely,

John Vana

Patrick Langham, Associate Professor & Director of Jazz Studies,
University of the Pacific Conservatory of Music writes:

Hi Greg!

I think you've got a wonderful product. Jazz Saxophone Etudes has everything I look for in a practice tool. Not only are the etudes full of jazz language, but they're great for analysis, and excellent technique builders/finger movers. I personally look forward to each encounter with a new etude and found on several instances that I felt closer to the horn after using it as a warm-up prior to other things I work on.

As you mentioned to me prior to receiving it, this book is definitely for the
intermediate/advanced student and the possibilities for utilizing it other than sight-reading material are numerous. Lastly, having the concept of two CD's for Bb & Eb respectively (without simply transposing the etudes) was a great idea.

Your book is now a part of my own practice routine and will be added to the work of my students.

Thanks for your contribution.

Patrick

Wally West, Saxophone Teacher,
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill writes:

Greg, I’ve been using the Bob Mintzer and Jim Snidero play-along books now for quite some time, and have always thought they were well written and achieved a good solid feel for the jazz idiom.  Although I am praising their books, I must admit that they also replicated their respective authors’ style and feel.  Your book offers a fresh approach to the jazz idiom without sounding like etudes!  They are wonderfully written and swing hard.  The etudes in your book really capture the essence of the changes.  I’ve had a ball playing them and sharing them with my advanced students.  Both of my thumbs are pointing upward.  Let me know when volume two comes out!
 
Best wishes and warm regards,
 
Wally West

Wayne Colyer, Music Teacher,
San Rafael School District writes:

Hi Greg,
 
Just a note (no pun intended) to let you know that I have really enjoyed playing the etudes in your book.   I bought 4 copies and three of my more advanced students are also enjoying and learning from your book and CDs.  I'm telling people about your book and giving them your web sight.  I hope the sales are doing well and book 2 is in the horizon. 
 
Thanks for a great teaching tool,

Brad Eastin, Saxophone & Clarinet Teacher,
Colorado State University Pueblo writes:

Hi Greg
 
My name is Brad Eastin.  I have been working out of your book for a few weeks now and it is great!  I recently retired from the USAF Academy Band where I played in The Falconaires Jazz Ensemble.  I am currently teaching saxophone/clarinet and jazz studies at Colorado State University Pueblo. 

I have had my students working on the etudes and they all love them.  Don’t be surprised if you start getting orders from the Southern Colorado area.  The style and analysis section is extremely helpful.  The concept of identifying enclosures has already helped several of my students get a better handle on putting more chromaticism in their playing. 

The best thing about the book is that it is applicable to an intermediate student all the way to a seasoned pro.  I haven’t had a text charge up my playing in a while and yours definitely has. I also picked up your Stan Getz transcription book, reconfirming my belief that he was and is the most creative earthling ever to place fingers on the saxophone.

Keep up the good work.
 
Brad

Nick Drozdoff, Professional Trumpet Player and Teacher,
Chicago, Illinois writes:

Often trumpeters who stumble across my stuff on the internet email me with questions about playing and book recommendations. I'm jumping the gun on this with an unsolicted book recommendation.

The book is titled Jazz Saxophone Etudes by Greg Fishman. I bought it because I dabble in tenor sax. However, these are FANTASTIC studies for trumpet! I mean this! FANTASTIC!

If you read them as is, you're dealing with Dizzy range, but not unreasonable. Nothing really above E just over high C (there is one F, but it is only a stab). The lines are gorgeous and imaginative. They'll definitley trigger new ideas in you.

The book comes with two CD's; one with Greg playing the solos, and one with just the rhythm section.

I can't over sell this. If you're looking for some new jazz material to work on, this stuff is just fantastic! Here is Greg's info.

Gerg's stuff is self published, so you'll need to contact him for this stuff, but it will be WELL worth the effort! Fishman is, without a doubt, one of the finest jazz tenor virtuosos out there and his ideas are amazing.

Check it out, but drop my name! He'll get right back to you.
Peace, all!

Terry Summa, Saxophone teacher, Los Gatos, California writes:

Greg: Thanks for sending your Jazz Saxophone Etudes so promptly. I managed to get through them on alto and a couple of tunes on tenor. I like the concept of keeping the parts the same and changing keys for the rhythm section. Several of them kicked my butt on a sight reading basis. I'm going to have to practice most of them. Bummer!

Also sent was the Chicago Jazz Magazine with one of your articles about the diminished scale. I would love to share the article with some of my advanced students--if that is okay with you. Also, your playing is outstanding and will be an excellent example for students to emulate. I've have a feeling this book is going to sell well. Have a great summer.

Hi Greg:

I just wanted to let you know that I have been using the book religiously for the past two weeks and I am really enjoying it. I feel that it has been well worth the money. It has certainly expanded my mind, approach and ears.

You really do have a rare gift ... someone who cannot only play, but also communicate and teach the required concepts. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and insight.

I also saw a nice review of the book in this month's issue of Saxophone
Journal too, in case you weren't aware of that.

Quick, feedback-wise, my favorite Etude to play from the book is State
Street. I feel as though that's a perfectly lined solo.

Thanks again, Greg. Best wishes to you!

Sincerely,

Greg Balas, Phoenix, AZ

Ed Zentera, Saxophonist, Troy, Michigan writes:

Greg-

You forgot to include a warning with your book that the etudes are insanely catchy! I've got Halsted Street beboppin' through my head throughout the whole day, it seems.

I've been able to progress using the speed control on my CD player usually starting at 50% and working my way up gradually to identify the "hot spots" that require attention.

I see what you mean about good improv stemming from a good melodic line. No wonder your etudes are so catchy! A hell of a lot more fun than Voxman studies...

Barbara Lafitte, Oboe teacher, Berklee College of Music in Boston writes:

Hi Greg, 

I am enjoying your book alot! The etudes lie pretty well on the oboe, and certainly give us oboists exposure to bebop. I especially like your explanations at the front of the book, and your recommendations for practicing.

I am going to recommend your book to my aspiring jazz students.
 
Excellent work, beautiful book, and good training for aspiring players!!!
