What a remarkable breakdown of a moment in time, that changed everything, that I would have never considered.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Cheers Baz! 😉

[@zapp4miles]

Hi, Jamie! Just randomly stubbled upon this and what a treat! Brilliant and in-depth but also love your joyous vibe throughout. Respect x

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Welcome aboard!

[@couchphotography8861]

That was fabulous, I can't even think that fast, never mind play it! Charlie Parker was a true original...thanks for the breakdown, I kind of like it slowed down too, you can hear the phrases more clearly.Thanks Jamie!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Glad you enjoyed it! 👍🏻

[@nikigba]

Great editing! is it fair to say this is what a revolutionary moment in music looks like?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Absolutely!

[@olivierherment1188]

thank you for your work and your joy

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

My pleasure! 😊

[@ubustudio]

Once again your transcript blows my mind. I especially liked the way you framed it at the beginning.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Wow, thank you!

[@johnyoungquist6540]

great discussion and analysis. Super vid as usual. JY

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

I appreciate that, ta. 🙏🏻

[@pavelpatsenkov]

Thanks Mr Anderson. It is very informative.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

You are very welcome 🙏🏻

[@jackdolphy8965]

Wholly Holy smokes , Thank you. I was 16 aka 50 years ago when I got the Lp that had that. Like the many of you I picked up the tone arm and played it over and over and over scores of times. Never dreamed I’d come across anything like what you’ve done here. Crazy cool! 🙏🏽

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

What a great share, thanks!

[@kitwanatyhimba5247]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

You are so welcome 🙏🏻

[@michaelmandak]

Thank you so much for this absolutely brilliant analysis!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

🙏

[@ggauche3465]

Really great video!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thank you! 😊

[@dragonknite314]

Jazz at Massey Hall was the first jazz record I owned. That break has been one of my favorites

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Yup, killer. If memory serves that might be one of the ones where the song tempo itself is much higher and his break isn’t double time.

[@lyecats]

I loved this breakdown of this line. You just opened my ears and conceptualization of practice and analysis. This is exciting!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks 🙏🏼

[@sammieseoul5544]

what a great video.. so much knowledge

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

🙏

[@okiwatashi2349]

Nice one Jamie, as I don’t own or play sax, I’ll frustrate myself trying to play it on guitar, or mandolin for extra points! 8f you’re ever in Scotlandshire give me a shout

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Oof! Tough on mando!

[@ZombieLincoln666]

He just shreds

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Right?

[@olebirgerpedersen]

What about the break fromthe Massey Hall concert in Canada ?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

If that’s the one that isn’t double time, that’s why I didn’t include it.

[@hansmathiasthjomoe4817]

A great video, very clever put together. Whether he's improvising or not, is not so important as long as he has made the lick himself. Another thing is that the solo is more impressive than nice.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Ok, thanks for your thoughts. Appreciated!

[@vincita51]

Thanks Jamie. Awesome solo that every sax player tried to play (me too with no such great results 🙂)

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

You're welcome

[@rinahall]

Great !

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@chrisparker5372]

Mercy! You put in enough work on this one, didn't you?!?!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

We aim to please! 😉

[@derminotauros]

Thanks for that video. I like the 1942 Version of the Interlude Track by Sarah Vaughan of this song and there is no Saxophon Break like this. It is still a genius track😂 Love, peace and harmony Bernward

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks for sharing!

[@montesfam5]

Oh man, Jamie, just tried this and its got my lower lip beat up a bit. But i can hear the difference as i try to speed up (losing my breathe 😶‍🌫😵‍💫🫁and dizzy 🤣) Awesome lesson Jamie!👍

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Ha! Thanks 🙏🏻

[@hanti83]

How many months did you spend analyzing this solo? Sorry for my english

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Ha! Not months at least!

[@robstevens9590]

Awesome! Great analysis & break-down! How did you discover that his solo on all these recordings is the same? Or is this "common bebop knowledge"?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

I think it’s kinda well known, but you only have to hear the different takes to see straight away.

[@brianmatthews232]

very revealing

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks! 🙏🏼

[@olebirgerpedersen]

I mean this break from the Massey Hall Concert is completel different as far I remember.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Is that the one that isn’t double time?

[@edwarddesenne6153]

But his embouchure never varies , the aperture of his mouthpiece cannot be very wide for him to be able to tongue so fast and rapidly with no puffing of cheeks and constant full breath strength, unlike Sonny Stitt , having seen live video of both players !

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Interesting thoughts. I know bird used narrow tips.

[@dr.rolanddavis]

#getyoursaxtogether Mr Jamie Anderson, Wow! Powerful intro on your video: you really pull us in … wonderful succinct points, audio + visual + examples! I appreciate the time and energy you put in: all the work you do that we *do *not see! And, the insights and tutelage in the rest of this wonderful video. hug 🫂 Dr D

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks for those kind words! 🙏🏻
