This is one of my favorite clips I am a student learning by watching the best.

@bartlettmusicacademy setup can make it easier, but isn't an answer in itself. you should be able to play altissimo on any mouthpiece (high baffle, low baffle, large chamber, small chamber, whatever!). and overtones certainly are the answer

[bartlettmusicacademy]

Gerald has a video on Altissimo that is fairly good on Youtube.

One way to start working on this is to play a LOW Bb and then overblow a middle Bb note with the LOW Bb fingering. Once this is established, slowly in WHOLE NOTES move up the Chromatic Scale keeping the MIDDLE REGISTER OCTAVE with LOWER FINGERED NOTES. Do this UNTIL you can play the Chromatic Scale up an octave with this partial. Good Luck and Find A teacher who understands OVERTONES.

it's great to see the greats of my time on stage together! man that amazing!

[kingsax01]

how do you do that effect that he is doin from the start of the video to about :40. i think the note he is doin it on is concert Ab. what is that called and how do you do it?

[tonysmithonsax]

@kingsax01 Hey Kingsax that is called playing in the altissimo range. There are different fingerings for those notes that are accomplished by using a mature embouchure. Do a search on altissimo and you will get loads of pages on how to do this. Gerald does this without any effort at all. Good luck.....

@tonysmithonsax

I used a Fibracell reed to start out on those altissimo notes. After about a year, I went back to Java and those notes just come out.... Try the Fibracell if you can!

[bartlettmusicacademy]

@broforrest OVERTONES ARE THE ANSWER. Set up is Vital and important but understanding and practicing the Overtone series correctly is the Genie in the Bottle Answer.
