FOREWORD As a sequel to "Jazz Conception For Saxophone Volume I", this method further developes those fundamentals so necessary to the professional musicion. Although the text of this method stresses the various rhythmic patterns found in Volume I, the moterial is more advanced and includes the latest meters (3/4 and 5/4) in a series of 20 etudes. As reviewed in Volume |, one of the most important things to keep in mind while playing the etudes, is toplay the eighth notes correctly. Inthe past, abar of eighth notes (Jd dddddd ) wos played os dotted eighths followed by sixteenth notes (de dae da dah a) )- It was believed thot eighth notes played in this manner best exemplified the syncopated fee! of jazz. However, modern conception demands that a bar of eighth notes be played as quarter notes followed by eighth notes in atriplet figure J dd dd dd d ).
