For all you criticising wanabe's.I'm 53 and play bari sax.I listened to this on my home stack through a good amp.When this finished I stood up and applauded at the screen. When you've put as much practice and dedication into a Passion as she obviously has,you can then sour comment.....
If you heard this and didn't know it was a female, I suspect you'd think it was great. Cut her some slack, people; she's only 14 in this video! Wish I could have done something that wonderful at that age. Sounds like sour grapes to me. And, really, have the teachers of the US done such a bad job that apparently educated people don't know the difference between "your" (a possessive) and "you're" - (contraction for you are)? It's so glaring.
when i say tone i dont mean solely the phyiscal pureness of he sound, but i was more referring to her sound as a jazz musician. its really in and very mainstream. granted she was fourteen, but it hasnt really changed much recently.
didnt say phil didnt hit the changes i just didnt think he was as creative and as for tone how can you tell on a pc its all personal choice shes a great little player and can only get better ,,like i said she unlike woods does not have all parkers manuscripts and licks to work from
to be honest i dont rate woods i thin k she is more inventive ,and flies the changes look at woods face ,and she dosnt have all parkers notes to work from pure talent 10 stars for the girl
