An enjoyable and fast, though thorough, look at sax style and direction. After some twenty years of playing jazz I believe that time itself tends to form a player’s style unconsciously, just as flowing water smoothes and rounds pebbles. As the French say, style is the man himself...in the end you can only be who you are. Thank you for an enjoyable and incisive guide. Don W

Scott ... Not only is this yet another HIGH QUALITY "Vutorial" produced by you ... It is one of my absolute favorites! Thank you so much for opening up this discussion and adding meat to the bones of such a crucial subject that many experienced saxophonists seem to avoid and novice to intermediate ones are lost about. In the three years of learning to play the saxophone, I became concerned about finding my own sound but I did not know what that really meant. It became clearer when I read the book "Developing A Personal Saxophone Sound" by David Liebman (fantastic read) but it was not a conversation and so, I had no feedback. Recently, a very experienced and accomplished professional remarked to me that they are able to identify me because I have been developing my own sound. I was not sure what that meant though it was offered as a compliment. You started this discussion with an explanation of what defines a personal sound and this has certainly helped be unequivocally identify what I have been sculpting for myself. This was an absolutely fascinating and important session. THANK YOU! Could you put a part two of this vutorial together and talk about things like: vocabulary, motivic playing, chord changes, release and tension, melodic devices and of course sound effects (I thought of Joshua Redman when typed that). Excellent content, man! Keep safe and be well! I am returning to the "dark side" for now ... ;-)

Scott Paddock Yeah that’s a fair point .. I guess you need lots of different mouthpieces to show the difference. My thinking was, for example I also play tennis and in the tennis club there is always much debate over different racquets. Weight, head size, string tension etc etc. But for me I only started playing 4 years ago. So I bought a racquet I have no idea how other set ups will effect my game. So unless I go buy lots, (and they are not the sort of thing you buy every day) how can you find the differences. And I’m guessing it’s the same with mouthpieces. I hear all about rake and bevels and tone chamber and flattened or rounded rails, tip opening. but I don’t really know what each thing does to effect the sound. I’m currently using a Jody Jazz 6m hard rubber on a 1968 Selmer Mkvi .. I can make it growl with effort but it seems to be the more middle of the road set up. Anyway sorry to go on a bit but is an interesting subject I think. Thanks again Scott keep those great videos coming. I have nothing but time to practice at the moment. Stay safe buddy : Martin

How does the make and model of the saxophone influence darkness and brightness? I think I'm beginning to understand how internal designs of mouthpieces and application of reeds affect tone. But when I listen to comparisons among saxophones, the same player might yield slight differences in tone between them, but perhaps larger differences in embellishments and delivery. Is there really tonal difference caused by saxophone design?
@ScottPaddock4 жыл бұрын
Yeah, some saxes are darker or brighter than others. Some project more and some are a bit stuffier (more resistance) so it all depends on what you are looking for. I prefer something with a huge sound that projects and blows easy. Most of the difference is going to be in reed and mouthpiece combination. The speed and pattern of your airstream is more what is going to determine how bright or dark you sound and that is determined mostly by your mp setup. However, the sax does also play a role.
@Chris-te1dk4 жыл бұрын
Hi Scott, I have definitely been playing on the bright side. I have a very bright metal mouthpiece with a step baffle. I find it works for most styles of music I like to play. But sometimes I just can't get the sound I want when playing a smoother jazz tune or a ballad. I have considered having two setups. One that is bright and another that is more towards dark. Is this common practice or should I just stick with the one mouthpiece and try and be as versatile with it as I can?
@ScottPaddock4 жыл бұрын
I'd try to stick with one and try and make it work, or maybe get a setup that is a little more versatile. My current setup is a laser beam shot through a cannon haha.... so it took me a while to reign it in to sound good on a ballad. Start off thinking about your airspeed. That baffle is pushing the air really fast, so when you go to play a ballad pull back some to slow up the air stream.

Thanks, Scott. I played a Selmer Serie III throughout middle and high school (I think I got it around 2003). Honestly, I didn't take it seriously enough back then, but would like to get back into it now. However, I'm seeing a lot of people online claiming it's designed for dark, "classical" music and isn't ideal for jazz. Is that bs or is there any truth to a sax being "classical?" Also, I find myself drawn to brighter sax tones. If my horn is darker than others, can I overcome that with a bright, metal mouthpiece or would I be better off selling it and getting a new horn? Thanks!
@ScottPaddock4 жыл бұрын
Hey Clayton - yeah, those SERIE models are known for being dark and a bit stuffy, and they are definitely way more prevalent in the classical world than the jazz world. If you compare it side by side with a P. Mauriat, Eastman, Yamaha, Cannonball, or a Reference 54 you are going to notice a very big difference in the brightness of the horn as well as the projection. If I were you, I'd go out and start trying some new horns and see if there's anything that you like better. If you find one you love, buy it and sell your Selmer. Those selmer's keep their value so you'd probably come close to breaking even.
