Plomp | Big Band Highlights for Saxophone & CD

The special instrumentation of the big band guarantees amazing tuttis but equally allows the opportunity to perform quiet ballads. Playing in a big band is an experience you will not forget in a hurry. Unfortunately, playing a solo – as the genre name suggests – is reserved for only a few. However, with this book and CD by Johan Plomp (featuring recordings of a live big band) you can be the centre of attention as you get the opportunity to play the leading part in these swinging pieces. Almost all of the pieces have been newly written in the style of the great big bands, but you will also come across two famous hits: Barry Manilow’s ‘Copacabana’ and Stevie Wonder's ‘You Are the Sunshine of My Life’.
