hey man how can u addition for the Band of America ? they did let me try out this year but next year for sure i want to try out for all state jazz in Tx. n for Band of America

[jbJazz07]

@Briceno009 they didn't let you this year?

[AexP1]

Very good but then again you did make the texas all state band lol

[jbJazz07]

@AexP1 Haha you know me?

[elphaphoenix]

What type of Mic do you use? You sound amazing! Where did you get the background music too?

[jbJazz07]

@elphaphoenix I don't remember the brand, it was my friend's home studio and that was about two years ago sorry

[jbJazz07]

@elphaphoenix and that wasn't background music it was a live rhythm section.

[TailorSax]

In my opionion you could play a "little" more leaned back. It seems like you play some of the notes too accurate in your first piece.

[pebblefrog196]

@gjbsaxman94 It's the other way round. Billie's Bounce > Tenor Madness

[Holycrap27]

@jbJazz07 hey, this was a while ago, but can you tell me what equipment you use to get this tone?

[BTMmaster101]

You're absolutely brilliant. Amazing tone quality and extremely smooth style.

[itroutpond]

Did you make it? That was awesome. I really admire your tone quality; it sounds comparible to that of Phil Woods.

[gjbsaxman94]

wth?? lol i didnt know you could rename a song obviously fundamentally based on a well established piece like sonny rollin's tenor madness

[Briceno009]

@jbJazz07 Naa Man i didn't try out for Jazz State. i wanted to but they didn't let me i had the music and everything but yea.. How do you try out for the Jazz Band of America?

[0SaxArtist0]

I think the audio and video delayed because it does not look like your playing this, I'm sure you are but at the beginning it looked off but still awesome!

[joec8992]

John Adams is fricken beast hahaa
