In America, the most famous sax player to use this trill technique that I grew up hearing was Boots Randolph, RIP.

Love Boots.

This is an amazing tutorial, thank you for sharing. I can't wait to get my tenor out and try it out soon. Would you be able to include a video on how to growl that would be appreciated. 😊

Jaimie, you are the unselfish Boss of explanation. Yep! Jay's "twin brother" you are as it pertains to the commitment to Music Education and the simplification of it. Thanks, champion🏆.

[@marktyler3381]

Jay is always trying to sell you something. Shame, coz he's a good player.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

You gotta make a crust I guess.

Thanks! 🙏🏻

Cool lick. I heard boots randolph play this luck many years ago. Brings back great memories. Thanks

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks

That’s awesome Jamie. Can’t wait to surprise my teacher with that one. Thanks again mate.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Have fun! Thanks! 🙏

Hello Jamie, I am so happy to discover your channel 😃 THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your passion in a such funny and pragmatical way!!!!

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

🙏

[@marktyler3381]

I often use two fingers on side Bb and C, basically playing percussion. Great vid mate.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Right, interesting!

[@philliphill3390]

I grew up listening to Boots Randolph do this technique on Tenor. It was one of his "signature" licks. Respects to Cannonball.

So much fun. I believe Phil Woods did this too.....? Maybe everyone does. Well, they will now. lol Thanks Jamie! I think i'll do it now, and wake up my husband. =D

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Go for it!

[@dcp8nts]

@@GetYourSaxTogether I find it's easier for me to trill the high E with the side of my forefinger, rather than thumb. I need that thumb for stability. =) Love all your vids! You have great energy.

Thanks, Jamie. Great lesson on a cool tip. Can’t wait to try this when i get back. Any more tips like this i would love. Always trying to add a little spice like this to my solos in my community bands. Thanks, Jamie. You are the best! 🎷🎷💃🏿

another great player who utilizes this trick is Baptiste Herbin!

Great instructional segment. Btw what blues scale(s) does this trill best apply to?🤔

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

G blues.

[@marktyler3381]

Nice description matey

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

🙏🏻

[@michaelm.9171]

Excellent explanation! I've seen this "taught" and demonstrated on about a half dozen videos on saxophone gimmicks, effects, etc. They all try to explain it in about 3 minutes and they all leave out your 3.A, 3.B, and 3C, which ob piously are crucial. Thanks to your having dissected it so nicely, now I know why mine never sounded quite right. Now I think I can finally get it right! Thanks. By the way, what kind of neck strap is that you're wearing?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks Michael. It’s a Guardala neck strap.

[@michaelm.9171]

@@GetYourSaxTogether Thanks for telling me about the neck strap. I appreciate your having taken the time. I'm going to check it out.

YES Jaime - this is DYN-O-MITE :D

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks! 🙏

[@gangofgreenhorns2672]

Me sitting here with that piece of felt missing on my tenor...Now I've got to grab super glue when I'm out and cut a teeny piece of synthetic cork or something. I'll be back lol. Oh! Jamie I forgot to tell you to put a tenor reed on that mouthpiece I sent you lol. It plays so much easier. Can cut the reed (like how Lenny Pickett cuts bass clari reeds), or not depending on how it feels. I have to play that mouthpiece with a 2 alto and its tougher than with a 2.5 tenor reed.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Wow. That’s a new one on me!!

[@barzdotas_saksofonistas]

Hi, Jamie, thanks for this video, obvious explanation. Can you make a video about this sax trill on Gala Freed From Desire Remix by LuGotti (Ibiza Sax Video) which starts from 47 second? Is this double staccato or something like that, how to do this stuff?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Wow, that's mental. You hear Charlie Parker do that sometime too. I'm not sure if he's doing a momentary tongue roll or if he's triple tonguing using a "tak-a-dee" vowel thing. Pretty cool whatever it is!!

[@markmoore7074]

I did it descending from high E,E flat,D

[@michaelvaden5764]

I think Pink Floyd’s “Us and Them” (abt 3/4 thru) uses the Adderley trill

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

That’s actually a trill from C# to E, but similar vibe, yes! kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5Wwl36Bfa-hhpI

Why can’t I get a proper note when I add the side E with the left hand fingering on my mk6 tenor 🤔 ??

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

You'll have to be more specific Dave, I don't understand what you're asking at the moment I'm afraid! When you add your side E to the "left hand fingering" of what note?

[@coss181]

@@GetYourSaxTogether sorry I’ll explain . On the Cannonball trills you start on Bb Chromatically to D , just using normal sax fingering . But when I play Bb to D and add the trill note fingering ( side E) the note produced is practically none existent . So if I play say Bb the note is normal but if I add the side E , the note produced is awful , not a proper note . Just like trying to play a note with wrong fingering that didn’t exist . My sax plays well recently overhauled and I’ve been playing nearly 60yrs , don’t understand . I assumed if I played any note Bb to D with the side E it would produce a definite proper note but it doesn’t , please help

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

@@coss181 right. So yeh, that note when you add the side E isn’t really a very good note. It’s kinda janky, but it’s only there for a split second so it doesn’t matter. Make sense?

[@coss181]

@@GetYourSaxTogether thanks for reply , the note is unobtainable not just jerky , not just me others can’t get it on my sax
