@Kebrick Hailtunder no, not as far as I know. Hard to say from here though!

[@ChipTheMusicMan]

Cannonball licks? Yes PLEASE 🤩

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Exactly!

Jamie is not only an authority on the Rudiments, Theory and Practicality of (Organic) Jazz; he exudes emotion and passion as he analyses and demonstrates - winning ingredients of a true educator and performer (especially) of Organic Jazz 👍 Man, were I he, "jazzwise"; trying to be! (lgh) Thanks, champion 🏆

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thank you 😀

[@DocBree13]

Wabash pronunciation: Whah’- bash (schwa like in “ah,” then short a like in “ash”) - emphasis on first syllable (basically both emphasized the same) From the song “Wabash Cannonball” :)

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks Brenda 😊

[@mchidley1]

Wabash- a river in Indiana, and found in the title of an old American tune about a a train, The Wabash Cannonball

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

👍

[@timtully8015]

Best to relate this to your culture. The British novelist Evelyn Waugh accounts for the first--and accented---syllable. The second syllable is just a bash: a party, a blow to the head, rhymes with "stash." So a rowdy party at Evelyn's would be a Waugh-bash. PS, Great video. I'm working on these every day. How about some King Curtis?

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

👍

[@auberginemachine567]

You are the only person I have ever encountered who pronounces "saxophonist" correctly.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

lol

[@fearlessfreddy1000]

Wabash==wahbash put the emphasis on the 2nd syllable. The Wabash River is in the state of Indiana and eventually dumps into the Ohio River that finds its way to the Mississippi River and that will take us all the way to New Orleans. That's pretty good place to find some blues licks too. As an aside, when I was in the 3rd grade (which I figure was before you were born) We sang a song about a train called " The Wabash Canonball" It was known quite well by all. ; ) Greetings from the Emerald City

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

On the Banks of the Wabash, Far Away!

[@michaelthomas4805]

"WAH-bash" A suburb of Chicago, IL Great playing, nice lesson. Thank you SO much. You do a wonderful job of teaching.

Wabash as in a lazy WA WA peddle pronunciation, listen to lyrics of "The Wabash Cannonball" (refers to a train run) you'll hear the local vonacular.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks!

[@robstevens9590]

Such beautiful blues licks! Very helpful, as I will be having a try-out/rehearsal playing some blues numbers with a new band this week! (As a native Chicagoan I can say that your 6th try at pronouncing Wabash was the closest: Waw' bash).

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks Rob 🙏🏻

[@pavelpatsenkov]

Thanks Mr Anderson! That is cool as always.

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Thanks! 🙏🏻

[@SacBillM3]

IMO BIRD is also a great bluesy player. You can find some incredible lines is his recordings like KC Blues, Parker's Mood etc

[@ChipTheMusicMan]

Agreed!

[@andrewchowns3279]

I was finding the fingering for the Brecker lick a bit tricky when he goes Ab C D Ab, but then I realised you can play this with Ab fingering and just lift the B key to get C and press the D palm key to get D with all the other Ab fingers in place.
