About This Collection
Description
Advance Music specializes in jazz education and performance materials for saxophonists, trumpeters, and other wind players, alongside classical arrangements and world music traditions. Jim Snidero's Jazz Conception series dominates the catalog, with separate volumes for alto, tenor, soprano, and baritone saxophones at easy through advanced levels. You'll also find Hal Crook's How To Improvise, classical transcriptions like Bach's Six Suites for Violoncello Solo arranged for saxophone, and recent ensemble additions like River Suite by Snidero and Metropolitan Madness by Armen Donelian.
Highlights
Teachers keep coming back to Jim Snidero's Jazz Conception Alto & Baritone Saxophone and Easy Jazz Conception Alto Saxophone, which offer graded studies with online audio for developing jazz vocabulary and sound. Hal Crook's How To Improvise remains a standard reference for building improvisation skills across instruments. Frank Reinshagen's Jelly Roll for four saxophones and Johann Sebastian Bach's Six Suites arranged for saxophone round out popular choices for both solo and ensemble work.
Recently added
Recent releases include Matthew Schoendorff's In Search of... The Wild Saxamuhphones and Bill Mays's Play Song, both for four saxophones, along with Gioacchino Antonio Rossini's Der Barbier von Sevilla arranged for four clarinets. Jim Snidero added River Suite for jazz ensemble in late 2025, and Frank Reinshagen contributed Go Down Moses for brass quartet.
Composer & Author Spotlight
Jim Snidero is recognized internationally as a master saxophonist and educator whose pedagogical works span three decades. His Jazz Conception series provides carefully sequenced studies with recorded accompaniments, making it possible for students to develop jazz language across all saxophone voices at multiple levels. Snidero's recent ensemble works like River Suite extend his teaching philosophy into the full band setting.
Hal Crook brings decades of improvisation practice and mentorship to How To Improvise, a foundational text that has shaped how many teachers introduce jazz fundamentals to their students. Frank Reinshagen's arrangements for saxophone and brass quartets, including the popular Jelly Roll and the newly released Go Down Moses, translate traditional and sacred material into accessible small-group settings.
