He's got Bird's arpeggios down pat. The mental attention that requires is quite impressive. If you knew the degree Vermeer went to to imitate the masters you'd see the same kind of intense attention to detail that young artists go into in order to hone their technique early in their life. Before they germinate their own style it's so important to master technique and what better way to do it than than in analyzing great examples of the art? Even young rappers exhibit the same incisiveness.
LOl i saw him peform at the conservatory :P he is a really good sax player he probly play most of people who are playing sax for about 15 years or more away! :P
Beautiful.....outstanding. You have a great ear and you are right on pitch son. I play this solo on my alto and I imagine you can too....you are going to be one of the great ones Joell, with that ear , pitch and musicality. I'm going to watch for you coming up in the world of jazz or whatever music you decide to play. Good work !

Like Bird studied Prez. This 'little' cat is studying Bird and I have no doubt that Joell will also be a legend.

I love this kid!!! Keep at it Joell. You really love the music, and have the gift.
It is not an easy life, but it is great when a person LOVES what they do. Not everyone can say that. Good luck young man!
