Caravan - Alto Sax Solo

[@Nestor_Fernandez]

Man, it is clear that you are working hard in the shed and I hear this is really paying off! You sound awesome and swing damm right!! Keep it up please!!

[@wyndhleodumegwu253]

This is perpetual Beauty in motion - sound, articulation, and ad lib that swings, swags and sways marvelously. You have me thinking of the great Art Pepper! Cannot get enough of THIS caravan, Jay! Encores needed.

[@cowboycrab5244]

I love starting my day with some better trax

[@michaelthomas4805]

Me too, good for listening to on my exercycle. Nice way to get in the morning stretch.

[@2D2Productions]

Damn! Riding that wave! Nice.

[@michaelthomas4805]

You keep inspiring us with your playing. Thanks for clearing the path for us. Awesome track. I would like to see all these Better Trax songs get played and put on KZbin.

[@bettertrax5640]

More to come!

[@lonnybierman2548]

Wow. That was crazy awesome. Watching you pros blows my mind sometimes. Well most of the time lol.

[@EricPalmerBlog]

Wow. It is like you changed your sound specifically for this song. And it works. As usual you have a lot of skillsets at your disposal. Very, very cool.

[@jazldazl9193]

Very nice rendition and phrasing

[@mirelizsax5897]

Another one of my favourites! Wow, how fabulous 👏👏👏

[@mc_steezy897]

I never knew about better trax....I also had no idea how fast I was able to subscribe...both were discovered at once

[@alienoannunaco]

Bellissimo timbro!

[@bryandickerson5365]

Beautiful man - your mp is working for you big time! Nice dark, but clear, focus with “hair” on it :^) I’ve been enjoying my RPC piece for years but I might have to give yours a try. Side note: I just now discovered that Ron Coelho (RPC Mouthpieces) passed away over a year ago - so sad! He had such spirit and passion. Glad their are still folks like you (Jay) continuing the tradition.

[@stevewidney627]

Wow, that sounded great! Keep it up!

[@jzgtr100]

Hi Jay, sounds great! Quick question. I have trouble sounding melodic on the C7b9 in the A sections. I’ve tried half-whole diminished, C7 altered, Gb7, Bbm-Eb7 licks and nothing really sounds that great. Someone said to try F harmonic minor licks, which is somewhat outlined in the melody. What are you thinking over this chord?

[@matthiasbraun1428]

so cool!

[@jazznutz]

Extra impressed here. Sounds wonderful. I've been playing so long and still can't control my sound like this. Can you teach doo den articulation? I've tried for years and can't get the ghost note thing! I can only do it somewhat if I crazy adjust my embouchure. I can't practice it enough because I get so discouraged!! If I could learn this thing. I would be so happy!

You should release an app for better trax with kirill

I love your saxophone tone! 🥰 Does this mouthpiece count as a darker one?

[@bettertrax5640]

It’s bright and dark for me which is why I love it.

If I buy a track can I post myself playing on it

[@lonnybierman2548]

The answer is yes. All tracks are licensed for full use.

I am looking for my first professional alto sax. My teacher says that she strongly recommends the yas 62. Do you have any recommendations? I know you love yanagisawa.

[@pimpovic2]

Try and get into a shop that carries the big 3 names and give them a spin. What fits your teacher won't necessarily fit you. If you're spending big money, you want it to be personal.

[@bettertrax5640]

Teachers tend to recommend the same sax they use. Yamahas are great but you can choose what appeals to you and fits your budget if that’s not what you want.

Never before had i seen anyone try to breathe through their eyes.

Ayee

[@fargglad1]

did you play the piano and drums or did you program? or is someone else playing?

[@kpoudavoff]

All Jazz Tracks are played and mixed by me.

@@kpoudavoff then let me tell you, you're doing a KILLER job my guy. These tracks are smooth as hell.

@@fargglad1 I’m glad you are digging them! Thank you!

[@javierm_uk1588]

You didn´t seem to be rushing or dragging :D

[@michaelthomas4805]

Not as easy to do as you would think. Relax and let it come to you rather than running after the ideas.

[@javierm_uk1588]

@@michaelthomas4805 Indeed. My comment was a bit cheekier though, and a reference to the movie "Whiplash", where this tune appears and where the topic of rushing or dragging seems to be quite a common matter.
