i advise a new mouthpeice, your sound is wobbley. I think the tip opening is too small for your experience, try upgrading to a 6/7. Either that or your ombrusha isn't stable enough. But aprt from that it's great!
Btw all that is constructive critizism, not insult :P
Are you a Dexter fan! I could maybe tell by your tone, phrasing and the old 10M you are playing. I love the 10M. You are a great player. I wish I could play as well as you at your age, I'd be further now maybe. I enjoy everything about your style and playing!
I love that kind of harsh playing (but in the good way)It's a kind of voice that gave to the world beautiful players that moved hearts and still do. Hey, critics, don't you know not to ask the young to sound like the old and the old like the young? So enjoy beauty when you hear it.
nice job....dont listen to these guys....ur good....just try and give it a little more feeeeeeeeel once in a while...make it snazzy...thats what i do!
slow down man. . . shape your tone . . .u need to make a concerted effort to play pretty . . .i hear no heartache in your vioce ,your tenor voice. that said i still think u play fairly well
When Lenart was very young he had a HUGE SOUND. He was playing exactly like Dexter Gordon and he had what you call "heartache" in his sound. But Lenart now is growing older and he's becoming a creative musician and a true artist. He's no more a Dexter's clone, He's looking for his own sound and his own voice but he has a lot of a different kind of soul in his sound. Unfortunatly some guys like you understand only what they know from the past.
sir,i wasnt commenting on the size of his sound.i spoke of the shape. he's got a fairly big sound.saxophone is king when it comes to shaping your sound and this fellow seems to be oblivious. comparing this kid to dexter!? get real. dont even go there
i spoke of the shape- not the size of this fellows tenor sound. his sound is big enough-theres no contour there though-comparing this kids sound to dexters!?-dont even go there
I have to back you up though, phrasing is great, but overall the sound is monotonous and boring. Really needs more dynamic control as well as shape and articulation. This isn't something out of a book or some technical study; it's jazz.
Maybe you need to listen to more jazz, this guy is one of the best traditionalist on the net. He has enough soul to go around. Pretty notes are just that, life is both ugly and pretty, without one, there would not be the other. His tone is the most shaped I have heard, dark complex, emotional, that is my take!
Very nice. I play along at my guitar on this video. I would very much like to hear and see you play 'prelude in blue'from Art Blakey and Barney Wilen. Do me a favour!
