I'm amazed... at start you can understand more this song's chords because they play it more slowly, and then they make it further and further... magicians!!

[@coltoncrawfordjazz]

Your an inspiration man, playing is on another level completely. Thanks for the music

[@jazzkitten12]

Anyone know how do that trill from 2:25?

[@samsports92]

It sounds like it is a (in Bb tenor) A to Bb trill fingering A and using the F and E key (and maybe the D key also) to get the trill effect

[@toyrobot99ToyRobotMusic]

@ukasdr2 thanks mate! Happy birthday!

[@pluttrull1]

is this session anywhere for download or purchase?

[@toyrobot99ToyRobotMusic]

Nope, just a clip from a live performance.

[@JustinCopelandMusic]

I think one of my good friends and fellow musicians, Derek Smith, was a student of your at UM. He spoke very highly of you. I can see why. Sounds fantastic!

[@juancarballo8964]

By the way I really love your tone and if you’re ever out in La Id love to get a private lesson

[@toyrobot99ToyRobotMusic]

Thanks! I was recently in LA, did 3 nights at Catalina's with Joey DeFrancesco Trio. Hit me up next time

[@toyrobot99ToyRobotMusic]

I currently use Vandoren V16 mouthpiece, V16 3.5 reeds, and Vandoren M/O ligature

[@raefblack7906]

Really love the playing . Any tips?

[@ricaard]

Are you and Joey D coming to Michigan any time soon?

[@toyrobot99ToyRobotMusic]

[@ricaard]

@@toyrobot99ToyRobotMusic sweet, I'll be there, if I'm not gigging!

[@aartman01]

Did Tom apply those muttonchops with boot polish, and is that Peach Evans on bass?

[@Ralphjunel]

Hey Troy, Interested in selling the Link you used at Jazzwoche? I mean this in the most complimentary way....I can hear strong influecnes from Chris Potter and Michael Brecker. Awesome!!!

[@toyrobot99ToyRobotMusic]

Thanks. I never use it anymore, but I don't think I'll sell it.. Too much sentiment. James Morrison gave me that piece..

[@billiongenius]

No! I want it!

[@SOULJAMGO]

@jazzway I heard that he uses John Thomas Custom .125. Troy I am not your stalker. lol
