Alexa’s a good friend of mine. Love her. So sweet and a bad ass player!

U got that right. Just WOW !!!🎷

She's amazing.

I turned on the live stream version for my young son this morning during breakfast. He said "oh, with Greenblatt." Turns out Tatum visited the middle school band class a few months ago. Tim Hayward's 8th grade band class in NorthJersey. Cool stuff huh?!!

[@jefft022]

That is awesome to hear! It is so important that young musicians have a chance to meet and listen to really great jazz musicians!

[@abodabalo]

I am impressed by how Alexa and Tatum play such long runs so synchronously. Dosn't that require much prior practice together?

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Yes, it is always a good day (Bluesghost:D) when I can hear this music! Fantastic music, and fantastic musicians. The trumpet and sax impresses, so also the bass. Emmet I already know is supergood!

[@Progster1980]

Alexa Tarantino ti amo ❤

[@bethjay5225]

Great bass solo!

[@mustafa1name]

Kyle Poole flicks the sticks like he's throwing a frisbee - cool AF

[@BopWalk]

Wow that trumpet player has some nice phrases and that alto player has a incredible tenor-like tone.

[@johnandmarie7250]

I had the same thought! Such a big sound

[@MrCrescendo]

God I love that tune. So swingin.

[@radiokid2]

These guys can all play...it's the real deal.

[@dougbasmajian-ih6su]

Alexa is a monster! Her playing has tons of feeling, and she swings so hard. The whole band is class A!

[@cocorvado]

Sacred!

[@jazzartpoet]

Alexa is so original

[@emilyyu9150]

Not sure if I'm right - I could be mishearing, but I've always felt a little thrown off at first by the sound when there is more than one horn, and then I realized maybe it's because in the mixing the pans of the sounds are arranged facing the audience? (ie saxophone on the right hand and trumpet on the left in this video) but when I look at the video it's the opposite 😱or am I imagining things haha

[@maciek_d]

3:40 Alexa sprinkling some Johnny Griffin

[@caiusiv4616]

Thank you 😎

I turned my son onto Alexa this morning. He's an alto player and pianist at 14. But man can she play ! So accomplished. Everyone, really - and all at such a young age. I been striving to play like this for 40 years. Lol

[@AlainThePhilosopher]

Lots of solo ideas to hone in on thanks to everyone.

[@dzzy121]

So good! Why do lines seem to flow out of horn players with relative ease? As an aspiring jazz guitar player, creating interesting lines is so hard.

[@anfiorsceal]

I'm a jazz guitarist and I look to sax players for inspiration, too... I think it's because there's only one way to play a note and you can't rely on visual patterns for your fingers ... you can hold a note as long as your breath holds out too... I see it as being able to "whistle " a great line and it almost comes out like that on sax. However, it has its own difficulties, as you'll know if you ever tried to produce a note by blowing a sax!

[@dzzy121]

@@anfiorscealMuch appreciate your reply, certainly makes sense. And, yes, no instrument is easy! Been trying to sing my solo lines, instead relying on patterns and scales, which of course sound stale and boring.

[@Maou3]

​@dzzy121 Listening to the pros is always dangerous imo. Previous teachers have told me to transcribe great solos to learn, but I always find myself feeling inferior when I do that. Maybe that's part of it? Idk. To practice soloing, I just find a really long backing track on youtube and go; best to learn by doing

[@WindflowPattern]

​@@Maou3 It is dangerous to listen to the professionals, but do not feel inferior, just practice-lacking. As a trumpet player, i find myself trying to steal little things here and there, but what I find most helpful is to try and catch the phrasing, be it rythm and articulation preferably. Oddly enough, i've been listening to guitar players like emily remler or herb ellis for inspiration in melodic soloing or consistent idea expression with the instrument.

Breaking out the Wes! His tunes don’t get enough play, especially by non guitar players.

[@m4x358]

It's actually a Sam Jones tune! I am however too partial to Wes' rendition.

@@m4x358 Thanks. -- I was reaching for but missing that composer fix -- also applaud with you re Wes' track

In case you may have missed it, Igoler, there is a nice clean and complete transcription of Wes' solo on KZbin.
