It's a fun playful rag...What is wrong with that? Perhaps you'd prefer Steady Study on the Boogie, Jungle, Balafon, or Hard? All saxophone pieces written by the same well known contemporary composer.
I am Jean Matitia himself writing you to thank you for your interpretation of my Devil's rag and for the promotion you give to this piece!
Can you write my name on the YouTube video so that people know who is the composer of the tune!My real name is "Christian Lauba"which
I reserve for more serious music that you also can see on YouTube.Podes responder-me em português que falo perfeitamente!O teu novo amigo,Jean Matitia(Christian Lauba)
These guys were bread as thoroughbreds as young colts. Just because you dont get to choose your path in life, doesnt mean you shouldnt make the best out of it.-bravo!
omg. YOU ROCK!!! ahhh. i wish i play as well as you. completely and totally envy you. your sound is very nice in the soft parts, very controlled. nice!
Why are people posting comments saying "Don't move so much while playing"? I'm an all-state tenor sax player and I move when I play.
The tone seems very suiting for this piece. It's bright to add some humor to it and make it stick out above the other instruments. You have very nice control as well. There are a few tempo problems, but nothing very noticeable to the untrained ear. The only thing I'd suggest is maybe getting your tonguing lighter to make it bounce more.
You said it Timothy. Also, ignore all the comments - you're very good. You look OK with your movements while playing. Keep moving. Keep playing, and spread the good vibrations.
I think hes amazing! Just shows that the people with visious comments are jealous! you just don't practice enough to be that great! Best i have heard on here!
dude...you are totally wrong. there is this dude that is chinese. MONSTER tone on alto. AND he is only a freshman. sounds like a combo of brubeck and bird. i'm telling you. don't judge until you've seen it all.
na, i mean, you can beast classical music and sheet music, but freelance jazz: never seen an asian play that. if you can, but a vid up, send it to me ;), and its not personal! geeze lol, its just my opinion. ;)
hmmm u have sort of a point on that freelance jazz, i mean i do it sometimes and its not the best but its okay, but maybe one of the biggest reasons not to many azns can do that is not many azns DO play sax and not many azns are good at the sax
Lmao...are u listening or what? there are no problem with his tempo and he's not way off,and moving ur body when playing with any instrument means ur feeling the music ur playing. jeez. bunch of N****
You have a nice tempo going, but you speed up at the tricky spots the band has a hard time keeping up with you. Besides, I don't think there is any tempo change indicated in the middle section.

lengland010 4 years ago
it's called growling.
you hum a different pitch at the back of you throat.
at least that's how i do it.
i was supprised to hear it too.
usually its on the tenor and in jazz.
nessundorma567 3 years ago
Growling's also easy to do if you know how to roll your tongue ie "r"s in spanish.
dhunterhitman 3 years ago
rolling your tongue creates the fluttertongue technique - it sounds similar but is different.
