8:46 my jazz director always refers to ghost tounging as "doodle tounging" and often uses Clark Terry as a reference as he uses doodle tounging in his scatting, similar to what Jerry Bergonzi was referring to
@Saxologic4 жыл бұрын
RipSnip Interesting! I think I avoided saying that because doodle tonguing is the same name as another tonguing method (an alternative to double tonguing where you tongue the reed going up AND down).

I loved your video and was inspired by it. I'm 54 and played in marching band so many years ago (until 1983). What I love is jazz and that sound. We were never taught to the level you are playing. I didn't even know it existed at the time, although my improvisation skills were pretty good and I touched on some of the concepts you are explaining here. I'm getting old and having CNS problems that impede my playing but you are still an inspiration. I love it when you go cooler and cooler until you just yell. That is so awesome. Keep it up Man. I have subscribed and plan to go back through your other videos. I love the saxophone so much! I love you for wanting to share with the world!

Excellent video! It's nice to see this information presented concisely, and you provided and good explanation for ghost tonguing. Articulation is a level of the transcribing process that seems sadly lacking among younger players. I've seen many a saxophone student beating their heads against the wall trying to figure this stuff out even though it's right there in their ears.
