Hey. I'm working on Stella By Starlight and would appreciate any help on the tune. There are a lot of Minor II V I's and Major. The Major I'm ok with, but does anyone have any tips on how to get...

Thread name speaks for itself:

Deadly player. Why do so many people come down on him just because he has a different sound?

A couple of things:

1) You can't possibly deny is virtuosity on the instrument.

2) You need to learn the difference between a "bad" sound and a "sound you don't like". Joe plays with a...

Hey. I'm just wondering if you guys know of any REALLY hard-swinging tenor players. I'm just listening to Cannonball live in Paris and it swings so freaking hard. I want to do a transcription of a...

I also saw Lew last night at the Bistro. It was incredible. One of the best versions of "You Don't Know What Love Is" I've ever heard. He started it off with a really great cadenza, and I'm very...

MajinX,

I have a friend who has a great reference 54 alto. It's really superb. And I was trying a couple a few days ago, and they really sucked. Small sound, kind of nasal. Stuffy.

My teacher wants me to do a Hank Mobley transcription for my next masterclass assignment. The performance of it is just with a metronome on 2 and 4. It has to be a medium-medium fast swing tune,...

I've been pretty happy with my Jody Jazz HR* 8* for the past 6 months, but the other day I tried it compared to an old link (the same hard rubber link they make today, just from the 80's) which was...

My suggestion is the very rare "Do-longtones-embouchere-excersizes-and-overtones-rather-than-blaming-your-piece-for-your-sound" mouthpiece. Not a lot of players use it, and it's highly under-rated. ...

Frasermanx: Are you Fraser Calhoun? Just wondering, because there can't be THAT many Frasers in Toronto that play sax. Not like Dave or Mike.

Oh, I definately listen to WAY more of the older guys than the guys I mentioned. I listen to TONS of Lestery Young, Dexter Gordon, and Sonny Rollins. I've done a few transcriptions from each of...

The best way to start is to know how a saxophone works, how it's put together. Start by taking apart your sax, and putting it back together. Make sure to make notes about what order you took it...

Does anyone have a lead sheet for this? I've transcribed it off the Branford Marsalis "Eternal" CD, but I'd like to get a copy of the ORIGINAL melody.

Thanks, Dave

Hey guys. There is a thread under the Eb alto section called "Who is the best alto player" or something like that. After reading through it, I began to wonder "Do these guys sound like the guys...
