How to choose
Decide whether you want to read the written solos exactly or use them as a starting point for your own improvising.
Beginner
A newer alto saxophone player should first read through the solos slowly without the track, checking rhythms and fingerings, then add the backing track once the notes are familiar.
Intermediate
Players comfortable with their scales can play the written solos at full tempo with the track, then try altering small phrases to start building their own improvised lines over the same changes.
Expert
Experienced players can use the book mainly for the backing tracks, ignoring the written solos and improvising freely over the chord changes to develop a personal jazz and blues vocabulary.

About Play Along Books
Play-along books pair written solos with a backing track, letting a player practise phrasing and timing against real accompaniment instead of a metronome alone. Saxophonists buy them to work on improvising in a jazz or blues style.
This page has one book, Jazz & Blues Play along Solos for Alto Saxophone from Hal Leonard, aimed at players who already read music and want to apply it against a band.
