Very good video. I have Ray Smith's book. Scott Paddock has done some good videos on articulation as well. Chad LB has done some videos on the Dood'n articulation as well as reversing the offbeat onbeat slurring placements when descending. There's also some British saxophonist now living in New York who's done a couple of good videos on the Dood'n articulation but I can't remember his name. There's a lot to take on board but you provide some great tips here for injecting swing. I'd like to see more of these videos in the future. It's clear you have a passion for learning jazz. I'm an adult learner who started late. I'd be interested in hearing how you came to study the subject.

Hi. I started late on the saxophone as well and am trying to catch up on missed time by reading and studying all I can. You also have a passion for jazz by the reference to the videos you have seen. What is the best book you have read on technique? Thanks for the comment.

@@Saxcomprehensive Well judging by your videos you've covered many topics really well so I probably wouldn't have many recommendations that you've not already heard of. When you say technique are you referring to digital/fingers, sound line construction? On Bebop for example the David Baker book 1 is great but lacks supplemental exercises. I personally need to be spoon fed as a late starter. Jeff Ellwood has done a pdf for Developing Bebop Lines. It's a good primer and starting point but lacks the common ornaments which glue the lines together. The Building A Jazz Vocabulary book has a list of various/common ornaments but like the Baker book you'll need to build your own supplemental exercises to get the most out of it. I'll have a look through my book collection and if I see anything that might interest you I'll put it in the comments. All the best and keep up the good work.
