james carter bari sax solo on "when sunny gets blue"

[VisionScientist]

This is the best tone that I ever have heard from a baritone saxophone! I wonder if it is all in his embouchure and / or in his use of his diapragm.

[jessparkerrrr]

OMG that was amazing :D I wish there was a jazz lounge in Perth with such great players :):)

[SuperTooboy]

considered one of the best bari sax players to ever live... how can you disagree with this evidence?

[bobcatbandman12]

haha i scrolled down to read comments and didnt realize that james started playing, those are some sick high notes.

[billystrayhornsghost]

The control this man has over the bari is unbelievable!!!...He's making it talk.Sublime stuff from one of our modern day masters.

Tears---dat was beautiful I love slow ballads

[carlossilva185]

I love Dwight's faces! He's enjoying Carter's solo, indeed!

[HighSpeedSpoon]

James Carter:  Not too many notes, but plenty of great music and good imagination. Thanks for posting this.

[microwave103]

amazing range... I did not even know baritone could do that

[maguffle]

that was tasty. his range and control of that range (my altissimo goes out of tune quickly) is great. really good ideas ans great technique!

[olafsax]

slow down dog...this is just a jam...

[JayyRod]

yeah seriously dud

[ssaxby02]

Beautiful...

[Gamzmuzik]

I loved it. it was a great reprsentation of the bari sax. great job james

[Moshi90]

I don´t think he´s one of the best sax players ever. Sure he has an astonishing technique and stuff, but compare his changes to Sonny Rollins or Michael Brecker or Sonny Stitt,...

And sure, he´s great, but for me, he will never be able to reach the Olymp!

[nedmanxxx]

he ain't sayin' nothin' kids

[carlossilva185]

Well, that's a great solo. Love how Dwight follows it with his gestures.

[kenferry]

I wanted to hear Dwight!

[postbop]

Ken-

The audio was too scratchy with Dwight's solo :(

[FatManOWNSatBARI]

what a beast. Listen how high he is playing!

[jeffblinks]

He didn't play all that high, it sounded like he didn't get much higher than a B.

[Saxyman14]

I would get rid of the word "High." Just listen to HOW he is playing.

[buffalobillyboy]

I think he's one of the greatest players around with the technique, the sound, and the groove but a little bit too much of a show off for me.

[netshaman]

Carter is probably one of the best sax players that ever existed and is awesome on bari as well as any other sax. But i noticed that he seemed a little out of tune at around 2:46 for a few seconds.
