BERKLEE, HERE I COME!!!!

[KrummyBear]

@jbraven70 Nice effort? Intonation issues? 1. He toured with Marcus Miller, the man that co composed a Miles Davis fusion album, so clearly he isn't just putting forth "effort", he's good. 2. He's playing a soprano saxaphone. It's almost impossible to play an entire song on soprano sax and have zero intonation issues. It's like tuning a basson, shit just doesn't happen somtimes.

[Finne116]

Yes, there are some intonation issues. But the soprano has to be one of the hardest instruments to play in tune!! Id say he did VERY well for how much of his solo was upper-register dominant!!!

[gibson3114]

that makes no sense at all

[Jointine]

My god, I'm going to drop my social life, start practicing 'à la Trane' and hope that one day I could make it to Berklee^^

[Saxmaster1230]

If Berklee teaches you material like this, then I pray that I get accepted.

[DrewDawg50]

Wow, he was better when he was 17, because well, he was 17. Now he isn't.

[WHACKBUSH]

Sligh intonation issues. Very few of the most experienced players go balls-to-the-wall on soprano like this guy without some subjective pitch. He does like to lead the changes, though, which also contributes to the feel of a lack of pitch center. In the upper register of soprano, intonation-schmintonation....k­eep it close and we'll get the point!
