How to make your solos sound more like Jazz using licks

[@cameronpfiffner3415]

You might be interested to know that the first lick, played by Bartley and Cannonball, is part of the melody of Duke Ellington’s “East St. Louis Toodle-oo”, and the second, played by Herbin and Bird, is one strain of the march called “High Society” which became a New Orleans standard. The piccolo obbligato in a 1901 recording was adapted by clarinettist Alphonse Picou as a clarinet solo. It is this that Bird quoted- whether Herbin is aware of its origin or just quotes Bird, I don’t know. This kind of proves your point that everything comes from something else.

I'm enjoying your videos. Sorry but I have to ask your mouthpiece/reed setup if that's okay. Thanks.

[@gilsonamaral6595]

Thanks a lot. I'm using a vandoren v16 6S+ mouthpiece, and I'm currently on a reed journey so I'm using between a v16 2,5. Java green box 3 or D'addario hemkee 3s

[@dennis524]

Good examples of successful transcriptions. I agree that one has to spend the time listening. I have to do more of that, make time and apply what I hear. I did look for your email but couldn’t locate it. I wouldn’t mind seeing what you have picked up and maybe add some to my meagre list. Thank you, sir.

[@russellcarere312]

thanks :) Cliche question: but do you mind saying what mouthpieces/ligature/reed you're using?

[@gilsonamaral6595]

I'm using V16 6S+ mouthpiece, and Java green box 3 reeds, and I have no idea what ligature I'm using, it was gifted to me by a teacher when my previous ligature broke

[@russellcarere312]

thank you!

I love your contents here. Are you on tiktok? I want to watch you live

Hey man, nah I'm not really on tiktok, Im on instagram @gilsonamaralmusic

[@skimanization]

It's always good to make everything complicated for some as Jazz. Licks are a language or staple of jazz. If you don't do any, probably you won't sound jazzy. I believe everybody in music is a thief, but stealing phrasing of other musicians, not money!!!

I could not agree more. Thank you for leaving a comment
