[@DavePollack]

Thanks so much - glad you dig it!!

[@kieran2m]

Wow this was great I might have to transcribe some of those lines yall were playing 👀

[@DavePollack]

Thank you!! And if you do, let me know!

[@tmcunlimited]

😂 The other guy did not cut the mustard !

[@davidscott1052]

Sounding great especially when you got rid of your twin bro at beginning...then it really started to cook 💥💥💥💥 😂😂😂😂

[@DavePollack]

😂💯

[@BryanCanonMusic]

Jeff Reid! How yah been man? Miss you bro

[@HB-ve4wi]

Great as always! Welcome to OZ, Dave. Hope you're having a great time down here. New horn?

[@DavePollack]

Thanks! I'm home now but it was a blast. Not a new horn - I was using Jeff's Super Action 80 series 2 while I was there!

[@lavrovmd]

Just getting into saxophone, I'm loving all of your content Dave! Will definitely be transcribing lines I hear from your videos; what song would you reccomend for a beginner to solo over?

[@DavePollack]

Awesome! Have fun with that. I would start with something like a blues, or Impressions/So What (it's only 2 chords - lots of time to just create using rhythms, motifs, etc.)

[@andrew4282]

Omgggg bruh I can feel the fun both of you guys had together trading 12s! It sounds so great. Also, what alto were you playing on in this video? And what tenor does Jeff play on?

[@DavePollack]

Thanks so much!! Alto is Jeff’s Super Action 80 series 2 and the tenor is a Yamaha 62

[@NonosaxJW]

👍🏻❤🎷

[@marcioramosfoto]

nICE GAME...

[@tanmaymarwah]

Giant steps for the next worldwide?

[@DavePollack]

:)

[@lefuzz251]

Could you do impressions for your worldwide sessions?

[@DavePollack]

That's a really good one - very possible!

[@andrew4282]

Plz do that one with ur student was insane

[@joshlessinger8341]

What headphones are you using? What headphones do you recommend for musicians?

[@DavePollack]

For this one I’m using my Shure in ear monitors, I forget the exact model. For studio stuff/monitoring at home I use Sennheiser 280 pros and love them- the in-ears are better for live monitoring at gigs, but because of travel I brought them because of their size

[@user-yu8en2gy3m]

1:33 bruh

[@juliany.6306]

is there a transcriptions of daves

[@jamiehrstich6637]

Absolute destruction from the both of you! Does anyone know what Jeff is playing at 1:58? It's such a cool line but I find it hard to transcribe :(

[@DavePollack]

Thank you!! Umm...I'm not too sure! I know he's playing fast, that's about it hahah

[@timmao2358]

was that your silver selmer?

[@DavePollack]

no, it's Jeff's (I didn't bring my horn when I went to Australia)

[@MT-ip9rs]

How does one learn to improvise like this?

[@ethanburton9180]

Hours and hours of dilligent practice

[@hollaarsch1]

Where is the 3 bars phrase from u both played? Is it a quote?

[@DavePollack]

Where at in the video?

[@hollaarsch1]

@@DavePollack 1:12 and 2:32

[@DavePollack]

@@hollaarsch1 Oh! I think I played that when we were just messing around before recording, so he played it back to me (at 1:12) then I played it back to him, hahah. It's landing on the #11 of the V7b9 chord in a minor 2-5-1. It's a really cool sound!

[@hollaarsch1]

@@DavePollack Thanks for answering. I really like it, sounds very concise. It could be a head of another tune :D

[@supportmanualflying2224]

How's that super action doing?

[@DavePollack]

It plays great! He got a great deal on it too

[@supportmanualflying2224]

@@DavePollack Nice,but who is he anyway,is he the piano player from the grammy audition?

[@DavePollack]

Not sure, but he looks like it!

[@freshlysqueezedaesthetics2942]

@@DavePollack Was that a serie 2 or 3? I want a serie III for tenor personally but I've never tried the serie II for tenor though.
