Glad it was helpful!

[@TransformsIntoAGuitar]

Do you ever worry that you won't have enough work because there are too many great saxophonists in the world because your videos are too helpful?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Ha! 🤣

[@OttoLinked]

They have to put in the work. Information is not enough.

[@robertdespault8573]

Good job with a very difficult bit of phrasing. Thanks for explaining the details.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

You are welcome! 🙏🏻

See Maceo in person is a true musical experience

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

😮

[@couchphotography8861]

LOL I grew up with these rhythms, I'm lucky they come easy!!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

👍🏻

[@jamesqueen8179]

Jamie macro is from Kinston NC where I currently live I arranged the sound for a concert at the high cool and went to a party at his house

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Awesome man. 👍🏻

[@askesylvestandersen1267]

Can you do a hall of fame video on the two solos in planet of the New Orleans by Dire straits? Would be amazing

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

I’ll add it to the list.

[@robstevens9590]

The groove makes all the difference! Then add all the minute phrasing details!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Yup

[@JeromeHuvelle]

Hello, how to transpose to alto saxophone? Thank you

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Up a major 6th interval (9 semitones) from concert pitch.

[@orikball]

what software are you using to playback the song? messing around with youtube or spotify while trying to play a track is one of the most frustrating things...

[@RobertLuIg]

👀

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Anytune Pro.

[@saxophoneworkout]

What mouthpiece are you playing? Thanks

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Florida Link 8.

I think you said cold sweat but it sounded like something else. Thanks again

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Cold sweat part 2

[@bobbywilliams728]

@@GetYourSaxTogether I didn’t know there was a part 2! Thanks for getting back to me.

[@shirleyfrancis4515]

Some people forget the "rests" between notes and end up changing the tempo or missing out beats

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

True.

[@bobbywilliams728]

What song is this from? Thanks

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Cold sweat part 2.

[@Twinkie1960]

is there a pdf for this lesson….

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

No. The solo is in phrase like a pro though.

[@DNS0875]

I groove so hard sometimes I hurt my teeth or let go of my mouthpiece 😀😀

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Ok! 👌🏻

[@BassNSax628]

Maceo on tenor?

[@jamesqueen8179]

Maceo played Baritone , tenor and Alto for James

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Yup.

[@BassNSax628]

@@GetYourSaxTogether I thought Pee Wee Ellis was tenor man.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

@@BassNSax628 he was. Just look it up on wiki - I’m not an expert really.

Right?

[@nobodyofconsequence9930]

WT#@##¥#$&, ?????? After watching this , think I'll try to master the one note samba

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Ha! 🤣

[@matswessling6600]

hm. great but...Maceo plays some sixteenths slower than you... the sixteens on beat 3 in first bar is different. you sing right but play it to "hard"

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Glad you’re picking up those details!

[@matswessling6600]

@@GetYourSaxTogether they are indeed tiny but then I'm a bit OCD: to me they say something else when played like that. Its like a painting by a great master: tiny irregular smears of colour looks like perfect watch when viewed from a distance. if you just change it a little bit the illusion is lost. or rather its that little hint if a inflexion in a voice that makes the meaning change...

[@rinahall]

US sax players: who's overrated/underrated Taste is indeed subjective but the realities/specifics of music are not. Overrated David Murray: howl without any rhythm, it's pretty much heard what he can do. Charles Lloyd: out of tune boring minor pentatonic scales all around Archie Shepp: he could not play in 1964 and has never been able since Anthony Braxton : ugly sounds and ugly sounds and ugly sounds a long chain without any surprise. Kamasi Washington: high school level with horrible sound Shabaka Hutchings: it feels like 100 years of jazz never happened. Here we are back in 1899 in Jamaica Sonny Rollins: his ego destroyed his playing at 36, sorry for him Lee Konitz: has never been able to play with the minimum energy for his sax to sound good John Coltrane after ALS: belief does not justify this self-indulgence Wayne Shorter: record some beautiful compositions wasted by a sloppy playing should have been sanctioned Ornette Coleman: as he said himself before a concert in Paris in 1988, he is especially known 'for playing the saxophone badly' Joshua Redman: mannered, mechanical with a repulsive sound. Composition without interest. Mark Turner: even if everyone repeats that it's good, my opinion will not change: it's boring Joe Lovano: the first time I heard it on a disc with Motian and Frissel I stopped the CD. The other times too. John Zorn: I'm told he's a genius...Ok then I'm a sardine. Underrated Rahsaan Roland Kirk: these albums are remembered as unforgettable festive moments. Gato Barbieri: opened the mind to the dimension, capacity and beauty of the instrument. James Carter: exuberant and spectacular technique bearing the heritage of its predecessors. Albert Ayler: a lit spirit that pierces through a sound and unique compositions from the depths of the ages Sidney Bechet: who had this technique and this power before him? Earl Bostic: an alien player who chose popular music but educated many sax stars Gary Thomas: crushing sound and sci fi compositions, the complete package Pharoah Sanders after Coltrane: left to himself, Sanders was capable of some of the most satisfying music ever to come out of a saxophone. Maceo Parker: powerful sound and flawless sense of rhythm, a model of joy and cheerfulness that has shaped RnB since the 70's David Sanborn: who can boast of having created the sound of modern pop alto sax with such magnificent highs? Steve Coleman: when he doesn't get lost in endless improvisations, he's a magnificent player who knows his BIRD from top to toe, coupled with a very powerful conceptualist Arthur Blythe: a sound that attracts the listener like a magnet Eric Dolphy: so individualistic and personal that no one has ever been able to imitate his tone and playing Jim Pepper: should be canonized just for his album Comin' and Goin'

[@marktyler3381]

Interesting list. Not sure I'd put people in "winners and losers" categories. There are a few mentioned that are too sloppy for my taste.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Pretty sure I’ve seen this message before from you. You don’t just periodically copy and paste it do you?

[@rinahall]
