Phil Woods Sheet Music

About this collection

Explore Phil Woods' distinctive voice through this collection of alto saxophone and saxophone quartet music. Featured works include the Sonata for Alto Sax and Piano, which blends jazz and concert traditions with improvisation, the four-movement Deer Head Sketches for quartet, and Three Improvisations—all revised and newly typeset by the composer. The Children's Suite offers 16 character pieces for alto sax and piano with flexible improvisation sections. Also included: Phil Woods Solos, a transcription book with articulation markings capturing his style, and the Jamey Aebersold Jazz Volume 121 play-along with rhythm section recordings. These materials span intermediate to advanced levels and work well for jazz ensembles, contest preparation, and solo study.
