Dood-n tonguing with Jeff

[@isaiahd9947]

8:04 This is when he starts talking about doodn tonguing

[@brettfleury7545]

Jeff's alto sound is BEAST!!!!!!

[@jaareda9940]

This is also called “Half Tonguing”. It’s a brilliant technique to have and Jeff explains it PERFECTLY! Frankly, I like the term “Dood-N Tonguing” better! Well done!

[@insite2life]

I have heard it called Noodle tongue as well

[@Enderrock424]

So I have a similar ligature to the one Jeff used in this video. So I decided to tighten it down a bit more and holy shit the difference

[@xxczerxx]

His sound reminds me of Cannonball's on Know What I Mean, and I've ALWAYS wondered why the saxophone playing sounded so different on that album.

[@MRIBEIROSAX]

Your sound is very beautiful. The doo den can be done using the mute tongue technique. I had this doubt and your video helped to clarify. Thank you!

[@blakebradley829]

this is so cool

[@Bustradore]

I like the vintage62

[@bobblues1158]

That is a money making sound!! Great fun here!

[@robertzantay5923]

That is NOT the doodle da doodle da articulation that I use. This articulation NEVER TOUCHES THE REED. You are actually disturbing the air flow just enough to bring out the silence of about 7-10 milliseconds that occurs between each legato note on all woodwind instruments. The inventor of the Lyricon, Bill Bernardi, who discovered this fact when he was studying how wind instruments worked. This allows the player to articulate each note without getting the rinky dink sound that tonguing each note by touching the reed bring. If you let your tongue move by saying doodle doodle for sixteenth notes and doodle da for triplets, you will learn to disturb the airflow just enough to get this to work. Consider the fact that today’s most popular solo sounds (guitar, keyboards) articulate just about every note. They are very percussive. Done correctly this is a uniquely jazz articulation. You can play the same bebop lines that you normally played legato with this technique without killing the swing because it is a much more subtle way to separate the notes, it adds rhythmic propulsion to your lines, which allows you to emulate the current popular solo sounds like the synthesizers. I also would recommend practicing rhythmically accurate vibrato (3 per beat, four to the beat) and dynamic exercises for swelling sounds that emulate a resonant filter sweep by adding harmonics (brightness) to your sound as you swell the note. I can achieve this by moving the mouthpiece in and out which changes the brightness that your reed can produce. Having worked mostly as a studio musician and as a sideman on many contemporary jazz projects I am very much aware of how the sound palate of music has been changed by technology. There are many sounds in the world that did not exist in the world that our jazz hero’s lived in. If they had lived longer we might have seen more artists changing their sound like Miles did. I plan on creating a KZbin lesson for this, and other techniques I have learned from my great teachers Zip Zantay (my father) Joe Allard, Lee Konitz, and Sam Rivers.

What is your saxophone 🎷 called ? 🌹✌️

[@AaronTMartin]

I'm pretty sure that it's an older model Yamaha 62.

[@MusicLiberates]

Jeff has always kept using his old Yamaha 62 alto.
