[billyramdhani]

[MrKosovojesrpsko]

who has the notes? Send it to me please

[rasenganpimp]

@MrKosovojesrpsko I know the notes, but sending them would take a pretty long time. I suggest you try and figure it out! It's good ear training. :)

[peterwerner10]

@MrKosovojesrpsko go on saxsolos.com :)

[stradivarius151]

@rasenganpimp

Just my thoughts, yours are welcome as well of course. I'm familiar with Albright's style, I just thought. I enjoy discussing stuff like this.

Thanks for posting, btw

@AMMstudios @rasenganpimp

I think it's a link. You could hear some parts where he tried to push it to go louder. A high baffle/small chamber (Beechler, dukoff) would have gotten louder and maybe thinner, too. The Link can't handle all that air and it almost chokes on it. My analysis, anyways.

[rasenganpimp]

@stradivarius151 I don't mean to sound like a complete ass, but believe me. Albright wouldn't use a link.

[nnicola78]

@rasenganpimp seems like a Lawton BB mpc, same as james carter

[kortes1975]

I think Barry White must singing here, for complete thing

[pifa4life]

[FlinckJanne1981]

[TheBackwardsNinja]

We all suck at Sax cuz God gave all the talent to Gerald...

[D3m0n7x]

is he playing al alto or a soprano sax??

[Edwardkor98]

@D3m0n7x dude hes playing a tenor sax..... there are sapronino sax,soprano,curved soprano,alto,tenor,baritone,ba­ss and contrabass

[D3m0n7x]

@Edwardkor98 thanks for the info =D i just started playing alto 3 weeks ago so im still figuring out the different sounds between the alto and the tenor i ment to ask tenor or alto i dont know why i put soprano in there

[AMMstudios]

He tells everyone he uses a beechler but that looks like an ottolink to me?

[rasenganpimp]

@AMMstudios I'm pretty sure he uses a Sugal Kirk Whalum II. I have neither seen one nor heard of anyone else who uses them, but I'm pretty dang sure Gerald Albright does.

[AMMstudios]

@rasenganpimp On his website It says he uses beechlers on all of his saxophones.

[Ryosuke324]

@rasenganpimp mmm i personally knows his sounds since his 80s, hes been using beechlers on Alto, on tenor is some other story,off course he will be so smart to find a mouthpiece a mouthiece for the tenor that matches with his alto,to reduce the drastic change in the shows. i have try so many combinations with beechlers until i got the close to his sound.

[jxjx1000]

@rasenganpimp I did a little research and I think you're right! But it says he only uses Beechler so I don't know :P

[Lucas1593571]

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!!!

[musicanfreak245]

Unbelievable powerful. GOOSEBUMPS everywhere!

[ocamilc]

@Sp4pptxsp294 his swing on super high notes is amazing

[geminisax6115]

Great sulful tenor playing solid rhythm section the tune has a Jazz Crusader feel to it Jeff Lorber use to rehearse with me in my house in 1971fourty yerars ago .saw him 6 years ago and said he did not know me Gemini sax

[MrSaxmanJones]

Does anyone know what mouthpiece he's usin?

[brandojazz]

does anyone know why I cant watch the video???



[RICHIELOVESAXWORLD1]

Always Enjoy Gerald...

[Ryosuke324]

albright is in another level, i have been for many year studying him, and transcribing his solos for the alto,one thing stand up on him always,is the diction in every note he plays , no matter how fast or slow, or high or low. Every phrase have a clear punctuation, like when playing a classical music from shit of paper.(please listen to dream come true solo,i think is one of his best.

[dooh28]

The Beast !

[ToliKwoli]

Gerald is the freakin man on that sax!!!!! Who is the drummer?? He's really solid!

[BriansThing]

smokin

[officialmcsi]

amazing!

[DaeG27]

5:30 - the end is my favorite... he hits those high notes with perfection! and the keyboardist is amazing as well :)

[royallighting7]

great job by albright. i'm not to fond of jeff's tone though.

[Cheatmaster65]

i LOVE how he makes the sax sound like its screaming at you!

[caxassax]

a mi me suena a dave guardala king ???

[Triple42]

for g's sake all. just enjoy the damn music

[rasenganpimp]

@Triple42 thank you!

[1Mellodee]

@Triple42 - Indeed...

[hjfu12]

@12345Narutosucks Fuck you you dumb shit.  If you don't like it, then don't fuckin' watch it. This man fuckin' wrecked shop! Awesome jazz skills.

[JonovskiJ]

I realize this is typical throughout the whole song and of Albright's playing style in general, but does anyone know he creates the sound effect that he uses on the last note of this song? Is it related to the ambrature and "growl" technique, or is it a result of the sax/mouthpiece/reed setup?

[rasenganpimp]

@JonovskiJ I am able to do this on the alto on a few notes, and I've noticed that I lessen the pressure that my lower lip exerts on the reed just slightly and blow really, really loud.

[Benjaminkerry]

@rasenganpimp I'm almost positive it's a growl.

[Godz3839]

@JonovskiJ you can hum while you're playing. i've been growling for years and that's how i do it. you can look online for in depth directions on how, but trust me. hum while you're playing. you'll get it. loud loud loud and on the upper (not altissimo so much, but certainly not lower) register.

[magichristo]

@JonovskiJ Important note: 99% of times when you wonder about how someone does something, it most likely has nothing to do with the setup. Just a quick note my friend xD

[director1curtis]

@JonovskiJ i do it by while still blowing loosen my mouth right of into a yawning like motin then tighten it back up to normal position and you can vary on it

[Godz3839]

@JonovskiJ just hum while you play.

[cldavis33]

@JonovskiJ - He is using a multiphonic. I played all though college and big bands and never could do this, but for some reason this year, I can break up my high register like this. It is a multi-phonic and I create these I think by using my throat and vocal chords slightly to break the note.

[skrdini]

@JonovskiJ

This is called "split tone" you do not press the register for high and blow it a little relaxed. It will sound both octaves.

Sorry for my bad english

[ermishes]

Definitely not as strong on Tenor but still awesome

[rasenganpimp]

@ermishes He's definitely amazing on alto but he's still great on tenor... and I just love this song!!!

[Ryosuke324]

@rasenganpimp my favorite song for him is Dream come true, i personally think is his best solo, ask any profesional sax player to follow that solo.

[BreakingLosAl]

I love Gerald Albright!!!
