\"Bassic<\/a>Back in 2000 when I first got my Buescher True Tone bass saxophone, the number of bass saxophone available to players were countable on 2 hands. Now, thanks in large part to the bass sax renaissance and the Internet, the number of resources has exploded\u2014almost to the point of being too numerous. How can you tell what’s a good resource and what is not? <\/p>\n

That question about resources has led me to develop this section in an effort to create a centralized reference point where bass saxophone players can start their research. <\/p>\n

If you have resources that you would like me to add to this section, please contact me<\/a>. Thanks!<\/p>\n
