How do you guys deal with copyright owners? Do you buy licence for your arrangements? If it's not secret or anything)

[@stephenbeck7222]

On KZbin it probably gets copyright claimed because this site is broken. On Spotify/Apple, those services will typically give a certain percentage to the performer and a certain percentage to the original writer of the song (which may not be the Jackson 5 themselves but whoever got writing credit). Most bands make their money from live shows.

As a horn player myself, I’m not loving the sound of that sousaphone. It might be the recording. It’s too light and not enough bass.

[@darz3829]

It needs a longer intro. Maybe one that lasts two days? Otherwise, trying to translate modern music to real instruments just doesn't work.

This isn't "modern", it's half a century old!

[@darz3829]

@@richardharrold9736 Due to the fact that musical imagination died in the 1970s (and modern music has stagnated since) I think it qualifies.

@@darz3829 except that is not a fact. It is your subjective opinion - and one which I can argue very strongly against as being arrant nonsense.

[@darz3829]

@@richardharrold9736 You mean like your comment is a subjective opinion? But I respect your argument that you like music that has become virtually total vocalized with one or two chords and lots of repeated pentatonic phrases. As Barnum said, no one has ever gone broke underestimating the American taste.

[@richardharrold9736]

@@darz3829 you may be somewhat correct if your criticism applies solely to mainstream pop music - but that has always been an area of banality and aversion to innovation. Look at the criminally overrated Beatles, for example. Utter crap. Yet if you look beyond pop, into the worlds of rock, metal and fusion, you'll see just as much musical innovation and experimentation as in jazz.

[@darrenmorales3885]

Man blending is just not there. Melodies and tones are being shadowed in the noise of the other instruments. Articulation is not mutual throughout the players. There’s no 1 way to play of course but unification is successful as a group. There’s no cohesive sound unlike back in the olden days of LC with Leo. There was more intonation blending and cohesive paths for the rhythms and style to travel. Now it just a bunch of noise being blasted (tuba) to create a facade. Blasting is not a musical skill and does NOT fit in all pieces/types of music. I get that it’s the bands motif but get it together guys cmon. Pick and choose. Additionally, where are the dynamics? Solos are dynamic in pressure and aggressiveness/softness but as a whole band there’s little background dynamics. Wheres the decrease? Where’s the increase when a solo/soli is played throughout the pieces? Where’s the uniformed staccato? The legato? It’s not unified. Lastly, not every solo has to be complicated; the solo is littered with chromatics and “blues”. Sometimes less is more. Use the basic pentatonic! Simple solos go a long way. Don’t lose the audience with nonsensical melodies - specifically the Alto Sax solo. Like what feeling/tone is being told through rhythm/melody? The solo takes you everywhere. There’s no start, there’s no finish. It’s a repeat of the same notes back and forth without any sense of direction. The Alto Sax does imo not have an appealing tone. Sounds novice like. Like one has only played for 7 months - Lucky Chops sounds lost and confused. Unsure of what they want to be, the bands changes should not reflect that. I remember being a novice sax player in highschool, listening to the old LC songs, projecting myself as a player and learning what it’s like to play in a band. I became a master musician because of how well you guys played! The inspiration was there! The ideas were new, original, fresh. No brass band competed with you guys. Get it together. I’m sure you inspire many still, but with better guidance, Lucky Chops can inspire more.

[@EdBordin]

Pfft, nobody claiming to be a "master musician" shit talks other peoples' band like this. The band sounds great, go crawl back in your hole, troll.

[@darrenmorales3885]

To the Alto player: your jaw is too low from the rear and your throat is too open. Close your tone and angle your air to flow “through” your instrument not “into” your sax. I can already tell your sax doesn’t vibrate with resonance but instead with strained brass. If you’ve ever played saxophone, and in perfect tune, and particular playing, you’ll know exactly what I mean. There’s certain times when it’s appropriate but that sound shouldn’t be consistent. You play some semitones in there which was bliss! And perfect for your tone! But your tone is not appealing in long stretches. Don’t play loud. Play strong. Sax is not a loud instrument. It’s a sexy one and yours does not sound sexy. It sounds like it came from wish. Ykw? It almost sounds like you’re overplaying your sax too. Too much air into your mouth piece. Shoot you might even have too open a mouthpiece. Try a Yamaha 4C composite with a 4 or 5 level reed. Your tone will change DRASTICALLY with such a simple mouthpiece andddd you can hit those altissimo notes wayyy easier. I would know. Ik there was a segment when you try hitting a high bar, but it sounds so strained and appears confident that you CANT play any higher. I’m a 22 yo with 4 years of jazz and commercial jazz/pop. I became a master musician my 3rd year and that’s only because of detailed training. I’m not sharing these traits to boast, I’m sharing them to show that a former sax player, who no longer plays, can hear the discrepancies and wants you to be better. You have so much potential. I’ll check back in after a few more songs. I really hope @luckychops reads my comments and takes in the advice.
