Thank you very much for this video! Joel is my mentor even though I've seen him just through youtube.

This masterclass is so incredibly valuable! Joel Frahm is one of my favorite musicians and to hear all this advice from him is so useful and amazing! That story about Johnny Griffin literally made me cry because it was so beautiful

“Serious Imitation for a while” yes it behooves us to do this. It provides so much discovery, understanding and jumping off points for one’s own creativity.

[@ssnoc]

Love Joel

[@robertvanruyssevelt7159]

Joel's solos can be original but never "shapeless". He is not only technically very proficient but so musically exciting.

[@Sandemose]

crazy creative.

29:11-29:28 one of the most beautiful spontaneous melodies ever created

[@jazzercaster4749]

man this is awesome! Anyone know the ballad Joel plays at 49:30? Know the tune but can't place the name.

Someone to Watch Over Me (Gershwin)

[@jazfyrski]

Jazzer Caster “Someone to Watch Over Me” by George Gershwin

[@michaeldean9338]

Damn...that technique. I'll take just 10% of it.

[@jonarr]

I know its so magical

[@HGQjazz]

45:50 It's like using a new person's name. The first time or two using it has to be intentional. Invariably it becomes natural.

[@kevinhenderson9841]

[@SteadyFready]

how bout advice on importance of staying fit for longevity

[@saxnova]

Frederick Horn - I know I’m not fit. Are you trying to be snide about my weight? I’m aware I’m out of shape. Your comment is unkind at the least.

[@bluessax5089]

Have some respect Fred!! The cats a master and I a tremendous source of inspiration to oh so many.

[@JS-dt1tn]

That's what you take away? Everything he said is mute becuase the man's overweight? Joel is one of the best tenormen of our times man! Sheesh...

[@xasma]

you're the man joel. Learning from you everyday. Hope to see you in florida sometime soon!

[@zangsax]

He remarks about needing to work on his weight. You should learn to listen seriously. Its the first thing i tell my students
