TUNES
1. Bourbon Street - lively blues in G with a classic blues introduction
2. Hobo - 12 bar blues in F, exploring the core major-minor sound that give the Blues so much flavour!
3. Ramblin, a riffy tune, with rolling jazz lower part
4. Delta Blues features a catchy bass line hook that is contagious!
5. Fats offers a slow moment of peace and tranquility!
6. Memphis features a memorable shuffle bass accompaniment that has a rock 'n roll sound!
7. Jive Blues explores the world of difference between long and short quarter notes
8. Barrel House Blues is a querky blues with challenging to and fro parts- rather like a game of ping pong!
9. Memphis "New Orleans' Trio (Bundled) - A trio version with Solo and modulations!
GermanyI found the JAZZ DUETS site by chance and was surprised at the offer. So I ordered a couple of books. One for clarinet and meanwhile four for saxophone. I tried a few pieces with a few students and we all found that they all sound really good, regardless of the level!
CyprusThe music and the partitutes are excellent. It would be more helpful if you could add the mp3 of each songas well.
United StatesWorks great for skype lessons. Also love the more challenging second part.
NetherlandsPurchased this for a collaboration with someone in Canada (self being in The Netherlands). As we're both only playing for less than 2 years, this seemed nice material. We decided on the Barrel House Blues. Only thing missing is a table of contents, but that's minor.
United StatesI purchased these as an educational tool for my private students. These look great! Thank you for writing these!
United KingdomI found these duets to be both fun and difficult enough to be a challenge to me and my partner. would like info on more of these duets, many thanks
AustraliaI have really enjoyed playing your Duets and can’t wait to share your link with my students. I have been using James Rae Duets and have found yours go that one step further by offering the students a challenge to progress with the same chart from easy to intermediate and even advanced. Keep them coming! They’re a great escape during these trouble times.
PolandI'm 55 years old and in November I started learning to play the saxophone. Searching for online learning materials, I found "Easy Jazz Saxophone". This is what I was looking for. My son is a professional violinist and together we play duets (for now No. 1) violin / saxophone. Your YT Nick recordings are very helpful. As I learn all the bluses, I will buy the next level. For now I practice and I have great joy playing the saxophone and life. Thank you so much Nick. You are great! If you will be in Poland - I invite you. Simone
United StatesI haven't had a chance to use them yet. I was wondering if there was a play a long that I could use with the music until I get used to using notes alone? Or is youtube good enough?
AustriaThis is really a great stuff!!
United KingdomReally good fun! Looking forward to “graduating” to intermediate! Would be even better if you could buy backing track with 1 part of the duet to play along to.
IsraelI am waiting to have a partner to play with......
