Amazing Playing from all 3 saxophonists!! Only topped by Bird himself! I've had the great pleasure of meeting Mr. Wes Anderson and eating some of his delightful New Orleans style cooking, and I can assure you, it is nothing short of fantastic.

super clean technique and great tone!! personally, I think that your tone spreads a little when you play really loud, but with chops like that, I think you have the right to make your own decisions ;)

dude.

#1: classical tone, not jazz tone

#2: get a metronome, set it at 40 bpm, and practice measure 186 over and over and over.

Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk were tearing into 350 BPM with their bare hands before your parents were even born. Anybody can paste a drum loop into some software, it takes real talent to actually play that fast.

Lauritz Eller Solo on sax. "Fantasie sur um theme originale"

This is my friend: Lauritz Eller, Whos playing in the "tivoli garden" he was playing "Fantasie sur um theme originale" he is playing Alt sax solo!

playsthesax55 commented:

I don't know if it is just poor recording quality, but the soloist's tone is quite bad. he should use harder reeds and work on his embrochure.

also, the piece seemed far too slow, when I played it, I played it at about 116 bpm.

I think the soloist loves what she is doing, but she needs to focus on a more refined genre and focus on finding a more refined, dark, tone.

for jazz, look up Charlie parker, john coltrane, or Sonny Rollins

for classical, look up nobuya sugawa, jean-marie londeix, or sigurd rascher
