A good college or university library has this book. Obviously visual demonstrations of principles and sounr are helpful. This is a good representaion of Joe Allard’s concepts of tone production- Joe Allard doesn’t get much credit, and its hard to listen to Liebman’s somewhat flawed demonstrations of some of the concepts on the video tape that accompanies the book, but since Allard is now passed on, if you can’t study with one of Joe Allard’s students like Perzonal Morosco this is the next best thing.
The whole book is great, I think you’ll really get a lot out of it. It’s like having a long and comprehensive lesson with Liebman; provides concrete, sonic illustrations of stuff in the book; and is worth every penny of the 60 bucks it costs.
Just ordered the book from Dorn’s site.
Comparison is the thief of joy. This is section in my humble opinion contains the secret of a good sax sound.

A real awakening occurred a few years after studying with Joe when I realized how the tone of the great artists all had in common certain characteristics: Regarding the video, I wasn’t aware that Dave’s presentation left something to be desired. Liebman’s book is great.
David is a brilliant human being and a great player who has contributed knowledge and art at a new educational level. This book a new edition with minor additions is meant to put any saxophonist, regardless of style on a firm footing without being at a disadvantage in the pursuit of a good tone saxophonne in the final result, enjoyment of the instrument. My first experiences with Joe began as a teenager in New York City after I had studied locally with a fine teacher, Nat Shapiro, who taught me the basics of sound production, fingerings and lieebman.

I’ll check out the DVD after recovering from the last few weeks of spending. This was especially true for understanding the significance of the overtone exercises which are central to these concepts since they reinforce the principles through concrete examples.
