[@Flapjack505]

Gene Ammons was something else man

[@HanksJazz]

That's what every sax pro says about him...that sound he gets, it's uncanny and amazing🎷

@@HanksJazz absolutely. A huge inspiration to me.

The last live jam reminds me of Horace Silver's "The show has begun". Edit: it's the melody of Jungle Strut of course.

is he using an octave pedal on his sax?

[@HanksJazz]

I don't see the comment anymore, but somebody mentioned there was an octave divider back then that was in vogue. I can't find the brand/model. I think guitarists used it, and sax players borrowed it.

@@HanksJazz With octave key held down, he could "bend down" with the mouth, to a full octave down. He had that much "voice-control."
