 FOREWORO
The wok of well-known Moscow saxophonist and teache Alexande Osseychuk
"School of lmpovisation f Saxophone" is pactical couse of jazz impovisation.ln this
wok is genealized the artistic and pedagogical expeience, accumulated the pevious
geneations of jazz musicians and of jazzmen, woking today. The k is aimed,
particulary,on the conquests of moden jazz maisteam, that is, it itoduces the
students into the cicle of otions, nomes, stylistics, which used f the
"communicatio" betwee md jazz musicians of diffeet couties . Despite the high
degee of individuality, iht to each emiet perfomer - impovisator, all of them
(excluding those, who elong to the avat-gade stearns) ased the esthetic
steeotypes, woked out f decades. This fact, natually, doesn't d the spotaeity,
the ispiatio of jazz impovisatio, d muttiple impovised solos of emient musicias
serve as exemple to it.
l occasions, due to thei individual qualities d demads , the jazzmen,
educated the maisteam, feel uncomfo-tae withi its fames d they ealize
themselves in the jazz" (0. Colema, J. tt, . Shepp, F. Sades, . Dolphy
and othes) . But such metamophoses possie l the s of the ichest
pevious expeience i the m taditional jazz style - the maiste<:tm.
The autho of this wok put f himself difficult go<:tl of t<:tcig the laws of jazz
improvisatio, evealig thei asis, systematizig the d pesenting as certai
execises d etudes, td with typical hamoic turs of the md jazz, <:ts well
as with the priciples of modal jazz. l methodical systematizatio will allow the
studet to master succes..<;fully the elemets of jazz impovisatio, which ecessary f
professional jazz impovisato. Each chapte is composed i the following d .
certai mode with sdig chods is cosideed; the the ;thos poposes the
execises , ased this mode, the etudes d the exemples fom the perfomance
pactice . poposes also the taes of the cosideed modes d chods in all keys. All
etudes and exemples fom the perfo+mace practice quite covicing . The
1 fagmets f~m the imrovisational solos of the best-kow jazz musicias (k,
Addeley, Cjltae, Rollis, Farrell d ofhes) peseted .
Although this book is witte saxophoist d is oieted to the perfomace
practice of saxophoists (. Oseichuk is of the leadig Russia saxophoists ,
laureate of the AII-Uio d lteational competitios, epesetative of the jazz as
well as of the academical schools), we suppose, that it succes...:;fully used the
perfomers, playig othe istuments
Such wok is C:t i one i our coutry and it's delightig, thCit it tued our to
eally seious d complete.

In this textbook we won't examine tl1e mode of

. . the Jrmonic minor or tl1e tonical variant of tl;
. minor scale.
'. The details of tlris system are presented in
: . " multiple sclols of academic direction:
. " . ''", . . L. Mikl1ailov "TI1e Sclol of Saxoplne"
" ". . ". ("Muzika"):
", . . ', . Rivcln "The School of Saxoplne"
" . "". ("Sovetsky kompozitor"):
, . Slposlikova "Scales, Etudes and
., Exercises", ("Mzika", 1986).
Tl1e harmonic minor is iterestig for us, as tl1e
. (V9-) V degree of this sound succession serves as basse
'. for tl1e building of the mode, corresponding to the
harmonic vertical og tl1e dominat seventh with tl1e
flattened nona (V7 /9) to tl1e give mior key.

, . . smootl1 logical movemebl of the melody, tlt is,
iQ.-: , the resolution of the preceeding sound into tl1e
, . scceeding. The so-cnlled basic tones of the chords
, III VII exist for this purpose. As rule, they are bnsed on
, the III or VII degree of some chord, either simple
, maj, m 7. majo:r or minor clrd, or maj , or m7.
Let's consider the aove-mentioned harmonic
'': " scheme of the theme "Beautiful Love" from the

, seventl1 clrds in order to give tl1em particulnr,

comhinntion of two mnjor triads, or two nugmented
, triads, or two diminised trinds. We'll discuss i
, detnils tl1e first two comhinntions, as the
