The latest issue of this educational resource focuses on the analysis of transcribed solos by Al Cohn, Hank Mobley, Zoot Sims, and John Coltrane on the tune, “Tenor Conclave." The four solos make a fascinating study in the similarities and differences among the tenor saxophone soloists.

Each solo is analyzed for the use of these techniques and variations in their use among the four solos are highlighted.
