[82zAL3]

hey, i was just wondering where u got this song? cuz i cant find it online.

[blackl1kemysoul7]

do you use jaw vibrato?

my teacher in 66 years old and his teacher when he was a child who passed away quit a bit ago was an astounding player who performed all over the world and was very famous invented a unique vibrato. he called it 'singing vibrato' instead of using the jaw he used his throat like opera singers did when they sang and it was beautiful by the way what are your altissimo fingering

[avanzoelen]

yes, I use jaw vibrato.

throat vibrato was at times a very widely used way of playing vibrato. In Larry Teal's the Art of Saxophone playing, page 55 he mentiones that throat vibrato is seldom used any more. that (very useful) book is from 1963...

[fjcmxx]

Fabuloso. Muy bien.

[pysiaDK]

Can you tell me what saxpohone did you use in this performane?

All the best

[avanzoelen]

At this performance I used;

A Yanagisawa 991 (about 8 or 9 years old)

Vandoren A28 mouthpiece, no.3 Vandoren reeds.

Optimum ligature, with the vertical line shaped plate.

all the best

Andreas

[ZZenZZ]

woah damn nice. can i get this on mp3 or smthing?

[were2220]

nice where can i get a copy of this?

[quatredesax]

Impressing. Sound, technic and the band are great. Is this arrangement published? How can I get it?

[depierreaja]

I beg you

I can do it almost chromaticly the altissimo

but how do you do the G???

[avanzoelen]

finger front bflat, and use c5 (high f sharp) and side b flat, and of course, practice your overblowing skills.

[depierreaja]

I allready knew that one

but thanks anyway

as you might know, people like Arno Bornkamp play the altissimo chromaticly

and like that is is quite impossible to go from G to G sharp back to G back to G sharp then to go to A sharp

you propably know what I mean ;)

that's why I was looking for an other way of playing the G. Thank you

[avanzoelen]

try the forked version for the g, left and right index and ring finger, lift the right hand, and you'll have a g#. Matter of practice, and finding out what works well on your horn. There are millions of charts out there

[depierreaja]

I am aware of the amount of possible charts

I am practicing altissimo for a half year now and I can get to the E,

On every saxophone the charts are different, that's why I'm starting to think it might be impossible to play the G clearly on my sax

It is also very hard to find aid in the altissimo, my teacher plays mainly the Clarinet so she doesn't have any experience for the high tones on sax. I'll figure it out someday!

[tonytheyesfan]

practice going up chromatically from a palm d. "f-trick" each note, so that when you get to the g it will pop into place, do this alot to find the correct voicing position for the g.

[braunmuehl]

I had the same problem: any altissimo note came - only the g was very poor. But when I tried out the fingerings in J. Dorsey's sax school I found a "million dollar fingering" for the (low) altissimo g. Dorsey suggests the normal double fork plus the side b flat - sounds not better than other g's. But when I replaced the right hand ring finger by the e flat key I was amazed: a perfect g in every respect! This works (for me) on every modern alto sax with nearly every mouthpiece. Just test it...

[cffhbj]

Esta muito  bom mesmo!!

[loaffy1]

by far one of the masters of the alto saxophone

[mwidzinski]

great performance!
