Scenes from the Cape Alto Sax Solo Collection
Scenes from the Cape is dedicated to my brother Jerry Nelson, who passed away in August, 2012. Jerry was a puppeteer with the Muppets, a singer, songwriter, philosopher and ninja wannabe. His talent was immense as was his love for many varied musical genres. My brother also took to Cape Cod in Massachusetts like a boomerang fish takes to Lew Zealand. I have tried to capture the feelings and images of the Cape in these solos. Scenes from the Cape was also born out of a desire to create a quality source of solo literature for the developing musician. I hope that this book will prove to be a standard resource for private instructors and band directors alike. This is a collection of 11 solos for Alto Sax and Piano. Each solo comes with the alto and piano parts, a brief description of the solo, a SmartMusic accompaniment file, and an MP3 accompaniment file. Audio recordings of the trumpet versions of the solos in this collection can be heard on the MRNS Music YouTube Channel. Individ
