[@aidancardona8592]

Wow Nathan you were literally visited by the Bird while transcribing!

[@colyrne]

"Hello, it is 2:09 AM" is a phrase I never thought I'd hear and relate to so hard

[@sgwyoshi]

As a non-sax player, it just sounds like he’s improvising a solo, whereas the mariokart lick sounds like it’s planned and written as part of the song. He Mario kart composer is a genius.

[@anthonygiordano792]

No way herbin came up with that on the spot,.. mabye some patters he new just came together to make that but it was planned lol

[@anthonygiordano792]

@whoiscoltranewhyishechanging Mabye some of it was improv and some was planned. Like knowing certain patterns on your horn and knowing how to mix them with other patterns to create a crazy sounding lick

[@andreykiselyov5528]

Reading bird’s biography with a bird.

[@birdman7240]

And another bird was watching (that is also my nickname band director even made that joke when I joined (about Charlie Parker that is))

[@dweebz4170]

12:34 You couldn’t deal with your own failure, and where did that bring you? Back to me. Lmao the Mario cart lick

[@jjfranc22]

I'm glad to see Baptiste Herbin is famous outside France 🙂. I had the chance to gig with him on 'Blues for Alice' and it was really great (even if I did not have his practicing level 😅). Great job of transcribing this lick 👍

God tier practice philosophy right there. Mad respect.

Your playing is legit, but you also have such a clear way of explaining things that I really like. Whenever I see you talking about a practice method or why a certain concept is important I always find myself going "YES! THIS GUY gets it!" Thanks for the great content!

Thanks for your videos! I appreciate your goofball sense of humor and respect the talent you’ve taken loads of time to cultivate! And thanks for turning me on to Baptiste Herbin! I’m just diving in to explore more alto sax players (Art Pepper was added earlier this year). Thanks for the content! I’ve subbed. Looking forward to picking up to practice tips and watch your progress.

thank you for this whole tone lick transcription, gonna work on that!

[@synesthesian7]

muy chulo! or Very coool Nathan. I'd like to buy a copy of the transcript. I love that descending whole tone pattern; one of the most interesting patterns and should be an essential part of our jazz vocabulary.

I am a sophomore in high school and I’m looking to go into music, similar to what you do. I’m really excited. I really just love the language of jazz and I want it to be apart of my life forever. Anyway thanks for the awesome vids. Also I need that poster😂

Always honored to have non-sax players checking out my content. Thanks man, welcome :)

Bassist here as well, and I love how he just goes in depth about the intervals and their purpose. Makes me feel more confident about my soloing and what makes an important bassline.

[@gillesd91]

Congrats! You got the hair of Kenny G and the sound of Baptiste Herbin!

[@jonathanmorrison112]

What an interesting pattern, I see a decending major7 pattern in whole steps going on there too.

[@jonathanmorrison112]

You could also see the pattern as 1-3 and then going down the bebop scale and continuing with the next tonic being the b7 which you landed on

[@maxdonaghy7915]

This year back in April my marching band was supposed to go to France for our bi-yearly trip and our jazz band (me included) and we were scheduled to play at a jazz club in Paris. Baptiste Herbin was supposed to play with us too. It would have been a great experience but unfortunately it didn't come to be because of obvious reasons. Hopefully in the future I will be able to meet with him!
