Sax players & gurus:
Is there a convenient alternate fingering for the written G above the
staff (concert B flat for Alto Sax)?
How is this normally notated?
I'm using this to demonstrate using normal AATTB voicing alternating
with ATBAT voicing of the same chord in a harmonized arrangement of
an excerpt of a Lester Young solo where Lester uses an alternate
fingering of a 3rd space C (again, concert B flat) to produce a
timbral change on a repeated note rhythm. The alto is the lead voice
(though I suppose it needn't necessarily be), and the question is, is
there a similar fingering trick for that note on the alto, so that
not only will the chord change timbre, but the lead voice will also?
Thanks,
Chuck
