Great Sax Players Being Awesome for 10 Minutes Straight

[@bobpremecz5429]

"I hope you have even just even a fraction of the joy that I had playing the saxophone. I wish that for you in your life." "It will be a lot, by the way!" 🎷😎

[@FMBlanket]

Joey DeFrancesco was so special thanks for sharing that moment. I saw him play in a trio with John McLaughlin and Dennis Chambers in the late 90's NYC. I love you page jay. My son started playing sax this school year and we love your page- it's a great resource.

[@jamiemeansjamesmusic]

Fantastic video Jay. Especially loved your interview with Bob Reynolds. I was in his online studio for a while, but I went to his sax retreat in Tennessee in 2019, and I got to study with him for a few days. I have learned more from him than I learned in jazz school. He's one of the greatest educators on this planet.

[@kency96]

Learning from your lessons all the way from Namibia , Africa. Love this channel. I love the Baritone Sax

[@davidsmusic]

What a great video and I had enjoyed all your interviews!! greetings from Germany!!

[@JevThatRevs]

man i wish I picked sax for my school band. (I chose euphonium) But im too late in the school year to switch my instrument. Still love playing the euphonium but I just fell in love with sax...

[@galaxyguy46]

6:16 i was not expecting that at all WOW

[@gangofgreenhorns2672]

Your interviews are great. Hope to see more. I've rewatched many of them and always get something new out of them.

[@sidneiramalho]

Great video Jay I missed a few players there. I have watched over and over again some of those interviews. It would be great to see ordinary sax players to understand their practice routines, struggles and progress. Maybe you could interview someone from the better sax studio. I also miss the videos where you would give players feedback based on their videos. Great way to learn.

[@bettersax]

Thanks. Good idea.

[@petecole6260]

This is sooo good! I think you should have your office remodelled more regularly! Thanks

[@HonestSaxSound-unEdited-]

All interviews are really good and helpful. My favorite was this with M. Ghegan. Thanks Jay for all this work.

[@bettersax]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@daandagradi942]

This is pure gold! Merci Beaucoup Jay!

[@timwallace7561]

Stopped breathing for 11:31 in case I missed anything - amazing video, thank you Jay.

[@andythesaxplayer]

Loved this video!!! For me, when it comes to speed, I can play with speed A when I practice 1 hour a day, with speed 2A when I practice 2 hours a day, etc. If my hours/day goes down, my speed goes down. In other words, for me, speed doesn't "stick" the way harmonic knowledge does. YMMV.

[@peterhorah7884]

Great video Jay; you are so good at bringing out the best during interviews!

[@shanenapoleon6725]

This was so awesome Jay, definitely checking out the full interview with Bob Mover...

[@natthegnat]

Hey Jay, I would love it if you could do a review of Thomann's C Melody Saxophones. Thank you!

[@kasperkat454]

Fantastic, this is such a gift for anyone trying to learn an instrument.

[@DanTheMailman330]

I saw George Coleman the winter of 1996 at a jazz club called Dizzy's in Pittsburgh with Dwayne Dolphin on base. The club was nearly empty and my college buddies and I sat at his feet in awe all night. Amazing.

[@tjeffersonb]

Aka: 10 minutes of pure gold information and playing to learn from

[@Mr.EKmusic]

Holy shit this is an amazing collection of gems. Thank you for sharing this treasure trove.

[@maxwellhouse750]

You forgot Jack Black on the Saxaboom. 😂

[@myworld8266]

found that video really interesting thanks.

[@rayfarris873]

Thanks for putting this together. Good stuff

[@MSCoopstar]

This video is awesome. Do you think you could Interview David Sanborn?

[@bettersax]

Would love to.

[@julianmitchell3035]

I found out about Bob Mover's two house thing before coming here. I wanted to see if I could find a note that couldn't be harmonized at all in the key. I went through every note, then I found that the blue note, oddly enough, was that note. It made it so easy to play out and weave back in, simply because you just play a blues scale and use that blue note to catapult into avant-garde vocab, or you can simply go up by fifths twice and play the the last key's major third which would be the first key's blue note. Tl;dr music nerd.

[@petegalindez9961]

Great stuff! Loved the pieces with Derek Brown…Mindy hit the nail on the head for performers wanting to make a business out of playing..there are SOOOOO many absolutely brilliant musicians out there who cannot sell themselves because they don’t know how to “play MSG.” Great wisdom Mindy!!

[@pierfrancescovalente]

Joey, what a Man he was. May he rest in peace

[@MAXTHESAXofficial]

Great VIDEO!

[@normalizedaudio2481]

Look, 2 Saxy made it on Better Sax. Everyone steal his mouthpiece.

[@cmacdhon]

Oh man. Derek Brown is so freaking cool.

[@addie7846]

Really Edifying ...... I do hope to become a Pro Saxophonist

[@skippruitt2391]

Has Kenny Garrett been on your show?

[@Harako15]

Jaleel’s voice sounds like Barry White🔥

[@thiime]

Hey, I've recently listened to "Killing me Softly" by the Young Blood Brass Band and noticed how their tenor player kind of "rolled" his slurred notes. I've been trying to recreate this but just can't quite figure out how he does it and I'm not sure what technique I'm searching for. Any ideas? I really appreciate your videos!

[@marcoseverino4388]

Great!

[@alejandrosantana5133]

Rest in peace Joey, still can’t believe he’s gone😔

[@garrettkrieger6867]

3:15 the video is mirrored and it messed with my head way too much lmao

[@DuGOization]

Let 's practise!

[@DNS0875]

May I add Cedric Delvaux, classical saxophonist- genius

[@Coocoocachoo809]

Awesome

[@Aero2992]

Kenny G can play Straight Ahead with the best of them, it's just not what pays the money, so he plays what brings the money. My opinion of course.

[@wyndhl8309]

He has come a long way since "Songbird" and the advent of the Internet/You Tube with its many brilliant teachers. I am skeptical to accept that he has taken up the saxophone to make money! Incipiently, excellent promotion, advertisements and marketing acumen did the trick; as the saying goes, "being at the right place at the right time" Kenny does not rule out "luck", his not forgetting dedication and hard work, of course 👏

[@diogoalmeida8462]

Kenny G is such a nice guy :)

[@kwootamuckbear9294]

👍🏾🎵🎶🎷

[@colbycummings4507]

God bless

[@Riptide_405]

Subscribed before 3k! Also tenor is better.

[@c.rodlosfortes8432]

oh my! a little fraction of mrs. G would be how much in brazilian money !!?

[@TheAaronRodgersTao]

What Tim Armacost said is the exact opposite of my reality. 10:00

[@Lee-br5mb]

our lord and savior kelpy g

[@mikeirving1955]

Where's Leo P.?

[@eli5138]

RIP Joey D.

[@joksal9108]

You don’t really have a pic of Kenny G in with your great sax players do you?

[@gsco82]

Some very good advice from some interesting players. I'll show my anti-funk bias by saying that Leo P's advice was much better than his playing. (Just my opinion)

[@DolphScreamingSax]

Sorry to say that at 26 secs it says ''suscribers''.

[@bettersax]

That is the word subscribers in Spanish actually.

[@DolphScreamingSax]

@@bettersax That is a top come-back !! Well done.

[@tjplayssax]

@@bettersax i thought you lived in Nice, are you studying spanish then?

[@LaSiguienteAventura]

My bad! Sorry about that!!!

[@SgtHenick]

Long long long time Kenny g hater here but dang I have to admit it's in style only the dude knows how to play.

[@andythesaxplayer]

I liked KG's playing a lot the first time I heard his first tune to hit the airwaves. The second time I heard that tune, I liked it a lot less. By the third time, ... ouch!

[@andythesaxplayer]

OTOH, cat has a right to feed his family any way he can.

[@SgtHenick]

@@andythesaxplayer for sure, and I bet he's an awesome guy

[@camthesaxman3387]

I still enjoy Kenny G's music, but it's certainly not my favorite.

[@Ryosuke324]

I dont think this sax players are great by any means,i have listen to every single of them individually to compare execution ,style ,changes in melody ,i mean skme of these cant even read at first sight. Cant barely play parker school right on the spot,or Coltrane. Get your horn out play confirmation right here and now and do a better show than brecker or coltrane itself.

[@laurakilmer8652]

Why is Kenny G on this list.????? I know he is good but he sold his sole to the commercial crap music

[@HonestSaxSound-unEdited-]

He has own songs too.. and his genre is not comercial crap music.. it is simply music to hear and enjoy. Crap is all this improvisation that deforms each song and breaks his essence erasing its message.. this is crap!!

[@camthesaxman3387]

He's the best selling instrumentalist of all time, and perhaps the only sax player that your average person recognizes, and his music makes people happy, despite what hard core jazz fans think of it. I'd consider that great.

[@Mike_79]

Another Gem from Belgium Adolphe Sax.

[@mikeirving1955]

Where's Leo P.?
