can I buy this sax (:
-
@sadizes maybe, but ah aint his level and i can transcribe Bird perfectly. He also can for sure
-
@SaxophoneProductions In fact I believe he just needed a horn :L
-
The Grafton was great between -250 and +250 above or below sea level. I played it atop Kilimanjaro and my co-eneers said that it sounded a semi-tone flat but I still just kicked ass. And the biscuitry was superb. Calor reigns.

It's has to be great to be able to play in a similar way like "the great one!
-
He's Peter King. They say he's the closest thing to Charlie Parker out there. To be honest I like King better, though parker was a true legend.
-
Is he reading off a motha fuckin omni book?!?! wtf?
-
it would be very interesting to see a new plastic saxophone. I'm sure the material (acrylic) has a large effect on the sound. As far as I've heard, Graftons play with a warmer, softer sound more suited for a more traditional, old style jazz like Paul Desmond, regardless I don't care enough about setups to buy a plastic saxophone and risk the money+wrecking it
-
The Grafton plays evenly between registers like a tenor and the sound is very open and uniform all over the horn and it is a big, warm sound. They were made during the war when there were brass shortages. Jackie McClean played the Bird Grafton here in KC when it was put in the museum and he said it far outplayed his Selmer. Maby they have been making saxes out of the wrong materials all these years. I'd love to reproduce it with present day hard polymer carbons

It's called "Parker's Mood",credited to Charlie Parker who recorded it in 1948.
King Pleasure wrote lyrics to his improvisation,and recorded these in 1954.
