Aldo Salvent's book Alto Altissimo: 41 Essential Fingerings for Alto Saxophone is a clear, well-organized, and comprehensive guide to the most essential altissimo fingerings that all modern saxophone players need to know in order to extend their range on their instrument. These days, professional saxophonists are expected not only to be able to access and control altissimo notes, but also to have the facility to play complex melodic lines in the altissimo register while reading compositions and improvising. Without any guidance, it can be a daunting and time-consuming task to track down reliable fingerings that work well and consistently for different musical contexts and on different saxophone models.
This book offers a convenient remedy for this problem, as it provides an incredibly useful repository of fingering options that will allow saxophonists to develop more dexterity and control in the altissimo register. I highly recommend that all saxophonists buy this book, as it is an invaluable teaching and learning resource that can be referenced again and again.
