I saw him play this tune 2 years later, just this past summer at the jazz alley. He is so killer now. I think he's done a hell of a lot of growth in a short amount of time
Not alot of people know this about Josh Redman but he was abandoned as a baby and raised by a pack of wild sax players. This man is King of the Beasts on the Tenor sax.
not even by sax players. just by some personified saxophones. thats why he learned to play sax as a first language, to talk to them. then he learned english as a second language.
He plays a Selmer Super Balanced Action. They were made between 1948 and 1953. You're not likely to find one locally, and they don't all play the same. Check out the Reference 36 and Reference 54 models made by Selmer at a local shop.
Not exactly what I meant. The Reference 36 is modeled after the 1936 Balanced Action, and the Reference 54 is modeled after the 1954 Mark VI. I've tried several Mark VIs and they are very inconsistent from one horn to the next. Some are incredible while others are just awful. The Reference 54s I've tried have all been consistently excellent.
dead wrong...a reference 54 will not make you sound exactly like josh...a good horn does not equal a good player, josh would sound about as badass on a yamaha YTS 23.
Absolutely! I saw Redman at the Vangaurd in NYC last March, and he blew my mind! It's crazy to think that he wasn't even planning on doing music for a living!!! lol
well therea a band in the uk with guitarist guthrie govan and they play it i knew it was a cover but i did't know who wrote it i did't know trhis guy did'it
Ive always wanted to see him do that live, the recording hes way cleaner though, but its still pretty amazing, almost brecker-ish definitely something to shed
wowwwwwwww....

I don't see how that has any bearing on my comment. I can still be aware of his playing and how his individuality has developed regardless of that.

Only it isn't. If you look at the octave mechanism, you will find that it is a Super Balanced Action.

Joshua Redman is one funky mothafucka. And he definitely deserves extra cool points for the slap tonguing!

He does slap tongue so good. he makes his sax sound like a bass guitar.

I love the song and I think Joshua Redman's great!
The slaps themselves aren't the hard thing here. It's the phrases he does between them that really gets you in the groove.
