Grand Central by John Coltrane - Tim Hurley Jazz Saxophone Concert

[saxxman07]

sax player has weird time. He needs to take this tune a little slower for it to swing harder.

[Snoohi1]

I think it would be better with better articulation from the sax player, didn't hear the cannonball articulation at all...

[harpingo]

I love jazz where you can actually hear a MELODY,,,,,

[funkatic]

Cooking piano player.

[Jamil131millz]

luv this song

[milesberrysax1212]

very good!

[semaj1197]

yeah dude this is totally in the spirit of Cannonball right off the bat. Good Stuff Man

[benbendude]

Someone asked who wrote this song. This is a John Coltrane

song. It's on the Cannonball and Coltrane album.

[JJ600RR]

Its okay, but Coltrane's sax solo has more soul and harmonic scale than this videos. I guess the main thing I love about Coltrane is his ability to stray from the music and still make sense.

[Saxyman14]

You don't really have a theory background, do you JJ?

[mctroublepants]

That was the hot fire! Don't listen to the quibblers ~ you guys burned it down!

[thetimmmmmm]

can someone tell me who composed this song?

[saxophonetim]

Coltrane man....

[marcoferraz]

absolutely fantastic....

[ohyea261]

Half those licks are cannonballs. Not impressed

[saxophonetim]

Half??? I listened to my solo again and theres about 10 bars tops of material that I'd transcribed from Cannonball. Maybe most of it is 'similar' to his playing but thats just some of the language man.

[ghostofdolphy]

Yea, it's in the spirit of Cannonball as opposed to licks. Got that joyful thing happenin. Great stuff man! Once I get my sax repadded I hope to get back to playin and hopefully good enough to get to that level LOL.

[Walvirck]

@saxophonetim Don't worry about those ignorant mediocre people who just judge without doing anything that can be considered as better than those they judge..... You are doing the job, and I respect your efforts. Don't even feel the need to pay attention to stupid comments like ohyea261's

Keep the pursuance!!!! And ohyea261, post one video of you and let me hear you playing so I can laugh my ass off.... hahahahah!!!

[stankhorns]

Difficult to be critical here---its hard to differentiate yourself from transcribed solos. And, major third progressions (Giant Steps, Countdown, Grand Central) are a wonderful technical exercise but don't lend themselves to super creative playing. I would ask, how have YOU been playing these changes?

[kaseyWtrumpet]

@ohyea261 Dude sush. In the words of Clark Terry, "It doesn't matter if you're a copy cat, it just matters if you copy the right cat." Besides, this guy probably burns circles around you.

[SwerdyJazz]

@ohyea261 Dude, its all just language, of course he will sound like Cannonball if he listens to him. Im not impressed with your ignorance.

[Saxydude05]

This is intense! Great playing! You're playing with such passion and not just running stock Trane or Bird licks like so many other young saxophonists (I myself am guilty of this). Beautiful jazz.

[ph0rminator]

i could play that sax part

[Onjord]

very good, but so so fast :(

[Darce223]

lol, 258 bpm is the speed its supposed to be played at :P

[SteffieMepin]

Very good job!!!
