Description – Hip Licks for Saxophone Application

Hip Licks for Saxophone is designed to help saxophonists develop fluency in the jazz language by providing mainstream jazz vocabulary (swing/bop/post-bop) that nails the changes and lays great on the horn.

Think of Hip Licks for Saxophone as a musical reference application, like a dictionary of great licks in all twelve keys, available when you need it. You can open the application to any page and just start playing.

Need something that will help you sound like a total pro while playing over the most challenging keys and chord progressions? Hip Licks for Saxophone is an indispensable resource that can immediately show
you how a professional player would approach those tough keys and chord progressions.

Custom User Interface

This application features a customized user interface that makes this application fun and easy to use. When you launch the application, you’ll see a menu window that lets you choose to read through the entire contents of Hip Licks, page by page without the play-along tracks, or to load each set of licks with the accompanying play-along track. All page turns are automatic, and synchronized with the play-along track.

To start playing a sax demo track, simply click on the saxophone icon on the lower left side of the display, and the track will immediately begin to play.

To start playing a rhythm-section-only track, simply click on the drum icon on the lower right side of the display, and the track will immediately begin to play.

Special Features of Hip Licks for Saxophone by Greg Fishman:

• 168 Hip Licks – Each lick is unique and customized for each key, based on the best timbre, register and playability on the horn. The C7 lick is different than the B7 lick, which is different than the Bb7 lick, etc.

• All fast tempo licks include both Slow Tempo and Fast Tempo Play-Along Tracks.

• Hip Licks Nail the Most Popular Chord Progressions:

– Major 7th, Dominant 7th, Dominant 7b9, Minor 7th, Minor 7b5, and Diminished 7th and Augmented 7th Chords
– ii-7 / V7 / I Major (two and four-measure phrases)
– ii-7b5 / V7b9 / i Minor (two and four-measure phrases)
– Parallel Major to Minor Progressions
– ii- ii-Maj7 / ii-7 V7 / I Maj7 (ii-7 / V7 / I Maj7 w/moving 7ths)

• Interactive Call and Response Format, perfect for ear-training and developing your musical memory. Each lick is played twice in a row on the Play-Along Tracks, so you can hear the lick and then immediately play along.

• Twelve Key Approach – Every track takes you through all twelve keys.

• Rhythm-Section-Only Tracks let you experiment with your own variations on the licks and improvise over a wide variety of harmonic settings. These tracks are also excellent backgrounds for practicing all of your chords and scales.

• Technique Builder – Use Hip Licks for Saxophone as part of your daily practice routine to dramatically increase your technical command of the saxophone.

Ratings and Reviews

Superb ideas

As an intermediate player I was struggling to build up a vocabulary of jazz phrases. Greg's app is filled with great sounding licks, all of which can be used as inspiration for further experimentation.
The format is very good, with the full book included as well as playalongs. There is also no space wasted repeating the same phrase in all 12 keys as many books do. You can still practice this way by playing each phrase along to the backing track in all keys, but Greg gives you a different starting phrase for each key.
This is the best book I have seen of this type, and great to have it as a portable app with the audio.

Good

I have a number of Greg Fishman books already, in fact I have the Hip Licks 1 and 2 books which come with both tenor and alto CD's. The reason I bought this app was so that I could practice using my iPad instead of my PC.
The app is easy to use and the quality of the backing tracks are excellent
It would possibly be advantageous to have a facility to slow down the tracks further and have the ability to loop different sections, which I can accomplish on my PC.
I look forward to further apps from the Greg Fishman range
