NOW AVAILABLE -- Jazz Saxophone Etudes, Volume 3 by Greg Fishman This new book features twelve melodic etudes for the advancing jazz saxophonist. These etudes focus primarily on medium tempos and demonstrate a melodic approach to soloing with authentic jazz vocabulary. The etudes are catchy, fun to play, and written idiomatically for the saxophone.

Like my previous books, all saxophonists (soprano/alto/tenor/bari) read the same written part, ensuring that the pieces lay perfectly on the horn, while the rhythm section transposes the accompaniment to accommodate the saxophonist's range.

I just practise them on (triad) arpeggios. I've tried with extensions and scales but that makes my brain hurt, I might get around to it one day. Most commonly I play diatonic note above, then chromatic note below, ie one semitone below so it acts as a neighbour note or what I sometimes call a fake leading note. (Well, it's a real leading note if it goes to the tonic or root) e.g. A F# G - C A# B - E C#D and so on Or you can also do the above note as a semitone for a more beboppish kind of sound. Ab F# G - C A# B - Eb C# D As I said, I would just stick to arpeggios first, but another cool thing (which I use with many ornaments) is to get a ballad, and play the ornament on every single note.

This is purely an exercise, you'd never do that in real life, but it's a great discipline which makes you think about tunes in a different way and able to apply ornaments where you might not otherwise. I was always taught an approach can be any group of notes taking you towards another note.

Of course that could be taken to be anything but usually approaches are within a 2nd of the note being approached. Enclosure is a good term though. I never used it before. Whatever, I think it's nice to define a difference between say, one approach tone (ie one note that acts as a leading note but to any chord tone) and the ornament that is a typical bebop one of above, below then the note. I first heard the term in a book about Bird, he was quite fond of them.

It does also seem Wikipedia defines it as such, but that doesn't always mean much. I guess the vocabulary of jazz theory is not universally consistent. Plus you are right, enclosure is a good term as it describes what it does. There is a book by Joe Viola (Berklee Press) that has these enclosures (upper diatonic-lower auxiliary) written out in major and minor triads, diminished 7, half-diminished, dominant, etc.The concepts in the book are great, but I prefer to learn just that- the concepts- then practice them without reading through the keys. This way you internalize the knowledge. The book makes a handy reference though. Once you learn the concepts, it's easy to create patterns and to locate or learn to hear them in transcriptions or solos.
