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

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Love Boots.

This is so amazing!! Have played around w this for years and you nail it with all the frills and correct dynamics. Thanks so much.

[@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.

Ive been working on a lick similar to this in “on the dark side” from Eddie and the Cruisers

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Nice.

[@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!!

[@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!!

[@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.

[@mistrsax]

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

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

G blues.

[@vojkomencinger4017]

Amazing. But What is your pick mic that you are using?

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

So... you didn't replace your mark VI huh Jamie?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Absolutely loved this

[@rbroderick]

What fingering are using for the B flat?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Broken down at 3:12 but the BIS key

[@coss181]

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
