man ive been watching alot of your videos and reading the comments and they are just bad. i mean no your not stan getz john coltrane or sonny rollins but it is great, its a different style its YOUR style. i hate when people tell me that i sound like someone because i dont want to sound like anyone i want MY sound. and youve found your. GREAT JOB dude. keep playing
ive read some comments on this and they are plain spiteful this guy has a real bluesy , mellow tone and over TIME it will develope its great by the way
YOU ARE FINGER PAINTING with the blues, and thats good. Now start adding some content. Play more hip rythymns and use more space. dont mean a thing with out that swing. Now most importantly. ADD leading tones to chord changes, guide tones lines, III VI ii V I runs and licks and u bee a great
nice run on this tune, i like you tone. have you tried some parker lines? you can never go wrong with parker when your a saxophone, maby work on some deminished but nice job check out some of my videos
Excellent mate, its great to hear a proper musician on youtube. Infinitely better than the other video you advertised on, the 'exception to the gruel' thing (or whatever it was). Bit more variation in style etc, and it'll be excellent. Fantastic tone btw.
Very good job. You have really good tone and I think you'll go far. Also you are way better than crappy guy on other vid (exception to gruel or some crap like that?) Five stars from moi. Don't stop playing.
I love your sound but you have to put a little bit more variation in your playing and tempo. I also play the saxophone (alto) and they said the same to me: it gets quite boring to listen at for more than 3 minutes. If you work on that you'll have more fun in playing your horn
yeah, you sound good, but it does get tedious to listen to after a while. You've definitely got the technique and tone down pretty well.
Try thinking more about structuring your solos. Start out small and build. Use dynamics. And especially use motifs. Motifs are what make solos interesting. I'm guessing you like Sonny Rollins, so take a listen to his first chorus on St. Thomas.
to tell u the truth, most of the videos that i have posted on utube, are kind of mindless improv. pretty much, i practice a lot and i know what sounds good,. i use the basis of scales for the progression, and these videos are what came of it. click subscribe and in the next couple of weeks ill put some more serious vids on here. thanks for the comments.
I have played the flute for 1 year and I have to change to Tenor in 7th grade. I was wondering if the fingerings are similar in any ways. Also, if you can please tell me what type of reeds I should use since I am going to start.
i dont play flute as of now, i play sax and clarinet, but i have messed around with the flute. i have been told that the fingerings are very similar though. to start, i recommend vandoren traditional 2.5 reeds. dont get a rovner ligature (the leather ones) unless it has a metal plate where the reeds go. i had one for my concert band mpiece, and the leather seemed to dampen the tone. so probably stick with the stock ligature
Good job. undiscovered talent! With that tone you could get far in life! Way better then bill clinton...lol... Keep playing, I wish I was as good as you! Keep going with it!
not bad. in the beginning, put the house top (accent stopped with the tongue) on the second note of the eighth note sets, not the first.

This is the first jazz tune I heard, and by Oscar Peterson from "Night Train". Too crazy for me at that time.
