It's so funny how classical educators try to approach/understand jazz, while jazz idols practiced Klose.

@Pete Thomas .. I would like to know more about this edition. When was it issued? Country?
Seems like a pre-war USA book.

Great resource Pete and many thanks for this!

I play in an a very amateur Big Band. Our 'sheets' mostly fall into category 1 and occasionally into categories 2 or 3. FWIW, our main challenges in improvement are in:
- (collective) interpretation of 'timing' ('laid back/lazy vs 'driving') in version 1
- (collective) 'timing' of variations in versions 2 and 3.

With your permission, I'll post this overview to my Big Band MD and to other Band members.

This is from Eby's Scientific Saxophone Method. I used to have a couple of editions but they went during a decluttering phase. Here is some more

Well isn't that just adorable!

I wonder what Sidney Bechet or Louis Armstrong would have thought of that.

Sid would’ve choked on his vibrato.
