Pure Fun for the Casual Sax Player!
I absolutely love this songbook! It's so much fun to play through familiar hits like 'Let It Be' and 'My Favorite Things' on my alto sax. The arrangements are very approachable, making it enjoyable to just pick up and play without too much struggle. A great mix of genres from rock to pop keeps practice sessions exciting and relaxing. Highly recommend for pure enjoyment!

Valuable Melodic Resource for Collaboration
As a musician who often works with instrumentalists, this 'Essential Songs' collection offers a robust library of recognizable melodies for alto sax. Understanding these standard pop, rock, and folk tunes is crucial for effective collaboration or arranging. The sheer volume (130 songs) provides a strong foundation for developing musicality and improvisational ideas around well-known themes, even if primarily a lead sheet.

Reliable Repertoire Builder for Gigs
A solid addition to any gigging saxophonist's library. This 144-page book packs 130 popular tunes from various genres, covering most requests encountered at events. The Hal Leonard standard means reliable melody arrangements, perfect for quick learning or sight-reading on the fly. While it's a large collection, having so many accessible melodies in one place is incredibly practical for varied performances.

I liked the fact that most songs with more than one page did not require flipping a page over to play the second page.
