Harlem Nocturne (by Maike)

I play the alto saxophone for 1 year and 7 months. Since a little over a year I own this Buescher Truetone.
I like this particular song from Earle Hagen very much!

This is amazing! Seriously, I've playing for like forever it seems and can't play like that. Ha...

I'm looking to get a new mouthpiece any suggestions?

[jortje11]

Thanks!

About the mouthpiece: I have a Selmer D, never had anything else. So I cannot say which one is better.

I love your style .the way you play it is really sensual. can you send me where did you get your play back

[jortje11]

Thanks!

Playback comes from the book "20 jazz greats" from the Guest Spot series.

Hi Leo,

It is a transcription that I found in '20 jazz greats' of the Guest Spot Series. But at two points I play it a bit different: the way I saw it in an other transcription of this song.

Hi I am professional saxophonist in Australia, I suggest that listen to other guys mainly sam"the man" taylor play harlem nocturne and just listen to what they are doing. Also what strength reed are you using? Personally i dislike hard rubber mouthpieces. I use a otto link and for its price its a very good mouthpiece and you'll be using it for a loong time. I got an otto link when i started to play and it has served me very well in the future. All the best

@Abmin9 I'd like to see you do that, make a video on your own.

Nice playing. What kind of alto sax are you using???

[michaelnoonan77]

Thanks great song I have been looking for the alto notes to this song

for some time,thanks to you

I found it in 20 great sax hits,although a few notes are missing from the book the main ingredient is there ,so enough is there to fill in the blanks.

Thanks again.

Heartless. ba da ba da bee "daaaaaa"... the "daaaa" is flat. But more so, heartless. It takes so much more then fingering and embouchure to play this instrument. Best of luck to you though.

[stephanhamel]

beautiful, well done!!! and you have played for under 2 years...makes it even more impressing!

[cyclejac51]

really nice playing. I always wanted to learn this song. I think I'll listen to you play it again and try to write it down. Thanks for the great music!
