  • sounds amazing how can I learn to improvise like that? I have a tenor sax and love playing, I've been playing for years but my improvising just sounds boring!!! How do you work out what rhythm to play?? Do you settle for a scale or what? I don;t understand! help! ha x

  • @xXprincesspopcornXx It is important to practice your scales, get comfortable in them, so you can then have fun in them with confidence. Also listen to soloists you like and try to learn their lines. It will help you then come up with your own. Also, you can check out our new band FLEAROY.

  • usually little bands like this suck dick. but you guys are really good. good job tenor man

  • @frizzzzzzal Thanks, man. Check out our new band FLEAROY.

  • Sound tight and funky, I like it. Nice work!

  • @lewisthemusician Thanks a lot! You can check out our new band FLEAROY if you want.

  • Joshua Redman, Chris Potter, Eric Alexander, Michael Brecker (RIP), Branford Marsalis, Kenny Garrett (the REAL Kenny G), Ron Blake, Walter Smith III, Steve Wilson, Don Braden, Seamus Blake, David Sanchez, Miguel Zenon.....there's a lot out there.....depends on what you like to listen to because some of these guys play straight ahead while others play more mainstream, groove-based jazz.....what are you looking for?

  • @lightningtheif5 k seriously? You should be a little less critical. First of all, you cant get ''too into" the music. Thats actually a good thing. Trumpet players have a habit of doing that for some reason lol nothing new there. And the bari player (also love the instrument), was just diggin the sound of the funky tenor player. Nothin wrong with that.
