Useful video. I have seen a few of these comparisons of Otto Link STM New York versus the Jody Jazz, and each one is conveying the same result; the Otto Link sounds much better IF you are seeking a smooth, warm, all American sound.

Thanks for the comparison. I was thinking of getting an Otto Link STM NY, and this helps me in that respect. I sure find it more appealing than the Jody Jazz, although to be fair the reed strength/facing might benefit from some playing in. Based on what we have here, the Link sounds best to my...

Good collection of artwork and photos. Great sound from Red Prysock.

@mycatslistentome She'll do that to you every time!

If not mistaken, this song was on the same episode of the Transatlantic sessions that included other phenomenal performances by Iris DeMent, Julie Fowlis, Cara Dillon plus all the highly talented instrumentalists including Jerry Douglas, Aly Bain (musical directors) and many others.

@Jazzznbluezzz1 Red Prysock - what a star saxophonist he was, but strangely no video footage seems to exist of his power packed performance.

Dave - thanks for the good advice, particularly about practice with a good ear for tone; make each practice session count.

Totally weird - but a great track. It seems to evoke a south american jungle experience. There are many other similarly strange - but great tracks on the album.

From the brilliant opening album by Phil Manzanera. This track is co-written by Phil Manzanera and John Wetton; the lyrics are amusing in part (he's on the rebound to her little sister). The vocals by John Wetton and Doreen Chanter are powerful. She has a mighty strong voice - and knows how to ...

I've just realised that your channel name probably relates to a Conn6H T'Bone - hence your comment about Matt (Finders). I incorrectly assumed it related to a Conn6M Alto Sax.

Thanks for this comparison - most useful. The Conn 10M does it for me with this style of music, it has more character and depth ..... basically more soul. However, I would like to own both horns, as I expect that the brighter/purer sound of the YTS 62 would serve very well when playing other mu...

Genuinely a beautiful composition and performance by Phil and Andy, and sympathetically matched by these stunning images. The posturing and face off between the dancers at 1.50 perfectly matches the dual between the guitar and oboe - bravo!

The composition, arrangements and performance by all the musicians on this track are top notch and puts me in mind of the cover versions of great classics that Bryan Ferry had in previous years. That's a genuine tribute to how good I consider this track to be.

Nice work and an effective demo of the tonal features. The Conn 10m certainly comes across as a more cutting sound, and works perfectly for the musical style in your other video 'Conn 10M in action live in Rhythm & Blues gig'. The Buescher has that unmistakable roundness & smoothness to it. Ea...

The CD set also has Louis Armstrong singing 'Summer Song' - magical lyrics.
