It's a shame Phil stop singing their songs packed hearts for generations, I am a saxophonist and pride in doing the sax solo of this wonderful song. I love hearing this song!
@dddddaaaannnnny a Beechler Diamond Inlay Alto Saxophone Mouthpice, i have one, VERY hard to control!!!!!!!!!!!!!VERY!!its like a freakin lion man, but the ofvertones are soo sweet...
@blueraspberry100 depend the opening, i have S8S, and soo far it dosent say no for anything, but i feel tired after awile playing is very opened for me, so i think am fine with an 8
Best sax solo I have EVER heard. Gerald Albright is a beast and he has been a huge source of inspiration for me. He's the reason I picked up the sax to begin with.
@FerrariDude24 Gerald is been the reason for many years to play for me,all his solos, and his dictions in every note, clear sound, now am trying an S7S inlay, the 8 was big for me, am getting his sound for sure,i dont want my sound , for what?
@Ryosuke324 yeah, his sound is definitely one to go for. My mouthpiece is a Meyer 5M, which a lot of people don't seem to like for some reason, but I love it because it has wonderful feedback and feel, and I have a lot of control over my technique with it. I play it through a Selmer Mark 7 alto, and it performs beautifully. I recently picked up a P. Mauriat Swing 55JX tenor and am looking for a metal mouthpiece for it. Definitely thinking a Beechler of some sort.
@FerrariDude24 Well today i called Beechler factory, and they told me about the C22 mouthpiece, its the brighter of all of them.i heard about meyers, the final question is this,Does the mouthpiece allow me to do anything i want at any moment,at any register? what i found in beechler was 2 things the agility ,and the sound.
@Ryosuke324 Yeah, it's a pretty agile mouthpiece. I like it because it has wonderful feel and response. The only thing is that it's definitely not a mouthpiece for beginners, because it's extremely articulate. Overall, its a very agile mouthpiece, and the sound is second to none, in my humble opinion. And keep in mind that it's all a matter of personal preference. A mouthpiece that I might totally dig might not be someone else's cup of joe. But I would definitely recommend it.
@FerrariDude24 my friend i got my C22, is awesome!!,but i agree with you is not for beginners, i notice something about the opening,is very wide when it goes into your mouth, i wouldn't recommend this mouth in a wide number after 7, for some reasons,1 no matter what number of reed you will always heard the sound of the blowing SSSS behind all the notes, 2- the reed don't vibrate against the tip of the mouthpiece, i think a perfect opening is between 5 and 6
guys,I don't know about you but i cry with this song...It's awasome and i hear it with my girl!!!...I play the saxophone also,and since the day i have heard it I have been trying to play tha solo!!!!I made it...It's WOW!!!!My girl loves it!!!!She loves me :-)...we had some problems but we are ok now!!!!Thnx...it's an amazing song!!!!
i just saw Gerlad Abright in concert , to see him play, live is out of this world, his CD's don't do his playing justice, if you any of you ever get a chance to see him, you'll be blown away at how good he really is. i have never see anyone play like him live
Here i was thinking the solo from whitney houstons "I will always love you" song was as good as it gets.. But this solo....every time i hear it, it just tears my heart out.. Scary..
yea yeah..i just got a vanderen A5 mouthpiece...with my selmer reference 54 alto..i like the sound sound so i just i'll still with that set up..for my soprano i use the mouthpiece that came with it. i like that sound too so i just i'll use that too (not that i've tried n e other mouthpiece for the soprano lol)
Man, it's not his mouthpiece nor setup, nor the sax, it's him playing :) I am sure it'd be another sax, even a student model, he'd sound almost the same. Really, practice is the key, not expensive equipment.
i disagree abit with you there. I agree that pratice is the key but if you are using a crap mouthpiece and horn then you chances of producing a good tone are reduced. If that was the case that pro's sound the same in student models then why do they go to the bother of buying expensive and better class of instrument/mouthpiece? I use selmer super action 80 mk 3 alto and sop and a yamaha custom z and no way would i go on to use a student model after hearing the tone they produce!
But it will not *drastically* improve your performance, or change the sound. I know you can get a pro sound from a student horn/mouthpiece from my personal experience. It's harder than on a good horn, but it's possible because good tone comes from you in the first place. The good horn/mp adds more subtlety to the sound quality and is easier to play but you're the one producing the sound. If you can play they hear it on any horn. If you can't, Mark VI is not much of a help.
Everything you just is correct!!! You also have to look at the place where is playing and the setup of the sound system. Those also can make the tone of the sax sound a little bit different!
@HenryKorol true, i agree, i play a student yamaha, no f# or anything, i stilll get good gigs though, although i really really want me a selmer soloist. dats a nice sax. albright seems to own the prettiest horns though
yeah he uses a beechler diamond inlay. He uses the widest lay you can get which is pretty big so if you dont have lungs like bellows you have no chance of blowing it. Good mouthpieces, i have one my self. Just remember that tone is a individual thing, just coz you have the mouthpiece does not mean you are gonna immediatly sound like him. Takes alot of time and practice. He also uses a selmer reference 54 alto which are really expensive.
Yes, you might not sound like him at all. It's physiological thing. The mouthpiece works for his "configuration", it won't necessarily work for you. You have to try many different mouthpieces and pick the one that works best for you. Also I would not recommend trying to copy the sound of anyone you like. Learn what makes you like his sound and borrow that from the player. But do not try to copy his sound, it's devastating for building your own style.
yea yea...i just got a vandoren A5 mouthpiece ...with my slemer reference 54 alto, i like the sound i got. so i'll just stick with that set-up..for my soprano i use the stock mouthpiece that it came with..i like that also..(not that i've tried n e other mouthpiece for the soprano lol)
quelle harmonie entre ces deux sommités de la musique mondiale! dommage que l'on ne trouve pas assez de vidéos de gerald albright sur youtube! pour ma part je suis sa carrière de très près depuis 1990, date à laquelle je l'ai découvert; je pense même que j'ai été celui qui a forcé la fnac à l'importer en france pour la première fois, c'était en 1992!
