The Blues Scale for Alto Saxophone and Eb instruments by Andrew D. Gordon screenshot
ENG | PDF | MP3 | MIDI | 175 MB
The Blues Scale for Alto Sax and Eb instruments by Andrew D. Gordon is he feels, one of his most important books because of the nature of the blues scale and how it is used to improvise in many styles of contemporary music.

The book consists of 20 grooves:
• Pop 2 Grooves
• Rock 3 Grooves
• Blues 2 Grooves
• Jazz 1 Groove
• Funk 3 Grooves
• R&B 1 Groove
• Latin 1 Groove
• Gospel 2 Grooves
• New Age 1 Groove
• Reggae 1 Groove
• Calypso 1 Groove
• Acid-Jazz 1 Groove
• Country 1 Groove

Both the Blues scale and relative minor Blues scale are explained in detail and how they are used either separately or together in the patterns for each style, (the relative minor Blues scale is generally not used in minor keys.) Each of the 20 grooves in this book contains over 150 patterns in total, using notes solely from the blues scale. Each of the 20 grooves utilizes a chord progression that is commonly used for that style of music. The patterns generally start off fairly simply and become more complex as the groove progresses. The audio files contain recordings of all the blues patterns that are notated in the book recorded along with a rhythm section of piano, organ, guitar, bass and drums and on certain grooves percussion. Also included are extended 2-3 minute play-a-long mp3 files of all 20 grooves enabling you to practice playing the blues patterns or creating your own for an extended period of time. MIDI files are also available.

'Andrew D. Gordon' seems to rewrites old book versions of his own for many instruments, ex; Jazz Grooves for Violin', the same ideas serve for guitar, piano, organ etc, by the way, his book 'Funky Organ Grooves' is horrible.
I counted 69 books he wrote, and all with the same 4 themes:
Riffs, Grooves, Blues Scale, The Rhythm.
Many of them with the title "The Ultimate", but honestly, I already read books much better than these, and I would say were really ultimates and did not even have those titles that seem to mean: this is the last and best book ever published.

I would believe in a series that was composed of several heads, but not just one, because to dominate all this in practice is something that nobody does in their careers, I believe that he dominates the subject well, but, his musical examples that are repeated in others books are very annoying.

It seems he tried to synthesize what everyone always does on the stage, the same things with blues scales, riffs and grooves, so he cataloged everything and wrote more than 69 books, which all I've read, are not the synthesis of anything.

When these new books get stagnate and the money doesn't fall on his account anymore, he invents new ones, but one day the ideas end, then he is likely to release 'The Blue Scales for Oboe'.
His vibe for making pragmatic books could make him not notice the variation error on many instruments and maybe one day he'll post: 'The Blue Scales for Drums'.

My point of view is this:
I know a lot of people who have never played jazz and enjoyed his books, but if you follow that, you can create addictions and fall into the commonplace because everything he writes is based on famous musicians and old records.
Although I must admit that he improved by hiring better demo records.
