Ted Nash, Jr has been a major force on the jazz, commercial and woodwind scenes for decades. A longtime member of the sax section of the Jazz@Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, Ted is a marvelous creative spirit. An accomplished saxophonist, flutist, and clarinetist, he is also a gifted composer and arranger, with over 150 big band arrangements. Ted is an experienced bandleader with 16 albums to his credit including the 2017 Grammy Award winning Presidential Suite. Finally, he has written several volumes of downloadable instructional material for sax sections including the recently released Sax Section Vol.III—Basic Woodwinds. This latest volume is written specifically for improving one’s woodwind doubling and includes the following instruments: soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxes; clarinet/bass clarinet; and “C” flute/alto flute. It contains 13 original scores in which Ted has recorded all the woodwind parts. The performer can play any one of these parts along with the remaining 4 woodwinds. A click track is provided to allow accurate rhythmic coordination among all the parts along with a score THIS PUBLICATION, ALONG WITH HIS PREVIOUS TWO SAX SECTION BOOKS, IS A MUST FOR ALL WOODWIND PLAYERS! As Ted writes in his introduction: “Being able to play multiple woodwind instruments has made it possible for me to find artistic and commercial opportunities my whole career….But I can’t stress enough the importance of being ready to earn a living.” And good news: there will be a Sax Section Vol. IV—Advanced Woodwinds coming soon.
