Amazing video for sax players. Thank you!

Back in the 1980s I studied with a saxophone teacher named Ira Jackson in NYC. During one of my Saturday afternoon lessons Charles stopped by to visit Ira. They knew each other growing up in Detroit. Charles was in town performing at the Village Vanguard. During his visit he gave me pointers on mouthpieces, reeds and developing a sound. Passing the knowledge on.

God bless Jamie on her post life journey.

Now, that is a lesson worth every penny and more.

Man what a solo ❤️❤️❤️

This type of jazz sounds like trash, I guess people cant play beautiful jazz, they can only run scales and enclosures.

dude this is insane. what a gold mine.

It takes a single candle to light a cave. Be the candle to this world. She was.

Beautiful. Beautifully said.

Fantastic video! I feel like I should have had to pay for all this knowledge 😜

8:51 that’s a hip shape/ sound. Working on that one for sure!

Heavenly good greetings, I am a more than 300 Million Years old Member of the real Shadowlight Family and I just wanted to make sure to remind you that our work is about making the evil black shadow go away so the heavenly good lights can be, especially the white and the golden ones... First there was Shadow, then there came light... Evil black Shadow had to go away, so good heavenfriendly lights could be.

Love this video. What a great guy to take lessons from.

This is mind blowing

Desmond amd cannonball have great vibrato.

Hello! Can you explain please in detail what exactly you are practicing here? After I had studied the scales and patterns from video part 5, what should I practice after that and what backing tracks should I use for this? I understand what patterns you play there but I don't understand what backing tracks you are using. What is the purpose of that kind of practice? Thanks

Powerful💯🍃

Dude, it's not freaking rocket science.

Man your tenor sound is real nice! Really powerful and full! Love listening to Charles talk too. Saw him in NYC bout 7 years ago and it was an excellent performance. He's great!

these are the most useful videos I`ve seen. A real master like Mr. McPherson telling you what to do is amazing and priceless

Imagine how much more he could’ve learned if he would’ve had his scales on lock. Shame.

Brilliant lesson!

What tune are you playing in the improv section at the end, and are you just playing diatonic triads in the key of the tune, or are you using different key triads based on the chord color of each measure?

❤

Thank you so much for sharing your lesson time with Maestro Rob!!

You have to think of it as a PHRASE and not a PATTERN.

what is the song? are you using different available-note-scale triads for different chord qualities? ie dorian on the ii, mixo on the V, and ionian on I ?

Great job at getting your phrasing so much more swinging in a few concise technical steps. A true master teacher!

talk about pressure while getting drilled on your scales O.o I'm apologizing in my head to him for failing haha

5:38 that ringtone is hilarious

I've been watching all through these wonderful series, thank you for uploading. I loved hearing you use SIR in your responses showing respect during the lesson.

I know that I need to practice much, much more!!

Could some one help me out here and digitize the patterns, the simple ones and the tricky ones. Can't quite make them out. Thank you.

Nice piano btw

Charles McPherson is a classic!

I find the part about melodic minor very interesting. Especially that detail of targeting melodic minor notes with chromatic enclosures. One thing I couldn't follow was when to use it? Do you use it over dominant7 chords to create a different sound? I feel like I'm missing theoretical knowledge of when to apply that material over changes.

Charles is such a beautiful dude! Thanks for the inspiration:~)

This was great! Thanks for sharing. I’ll work on my stacks today!

Excellent! Thanks! If you could get a better mic to record the sound even beter for your future lessons that would really make it perfect ;-)

Amazing series!! thank you so much!!

I want to express an inmense gratitude to you and to the saxophone master Rob Lockart. I've been watching all of this series. Super helpful!

That made more sense to me than many hundred of hours of theory or anything similar. This and the other series you recorded are priceless, thank you so much for sharing.

One BIG PROBLEM IS THAT WE DONT KNOW WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT? YOU NEED TO PUT WHAT YOU ARE,THERE IS NO CONTEXT HERE PLAYING. SO WE KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT

This is master class level - like a pure destillation of all it means to play jazz - and even beyond that

Your lower register is amazing

At 0:48 is the pattern a harmonized diatonic scale Starting on the root 3rd 7th 5th then up to the next scale tone?

He failed to mention, AFTER sucking the air out, THEN close the reed to the mouthpiece (by pushing upwards with the tongue:edit). The suction is then held shut via the reed sealing the entire hole of the mouthpiece. You can also do this with the neck on to check sealing there too.
