Sonny Rollins - Without A Song lick end of A2
Переглядів 133Місяць тому
I love this solo by Sonny Rollins; I've transcribed it by writing it down before, but not actually drilled it in from memory on the horn, so trying to correct that. This is the first really cool lick at the end of the second A section. Starting slow and bringing it up to speed.
Rhythm a Ning

Another fantastic backing by @EdwinsJazzJam , this time on Rhythm Changes, so I decided to really nail my demons and get Rhythm-a-ning down. Spent about half an hour on loop with Charlie Rouse prior to recording it! Hopefully that pesky rhythm sticks this time..... Link for the backing - ua-cam.com/video/IBgX7488m5U/v-deo.html

    Hello Mr. Darwin, I have followed with great interest your comparison with different reeds on the Tenor Saxophone, Is there a likewise test for Alto Saxophone as well? Actually I'm playing a Buffet Crampon saxophone with a Selmer D mountpiece and Vandooren Java Red 2,5 reeds. I have the Vandoren Red 3.0 also but find it difficult to play soft (playing in Concertband). I was - and still am a educated drummer for more than 40 years but wanted to learn the saxophone. Don't ask me why, maybe just because I love the sound of the instrument. Wanted to purchase a Tenor Yanagisawa 900 series but a somebody advised me not to for the time being because of possible tone loss on my Alto. True of false? I'm not justified to an opinion on that matter since I only play saxophone for three Years now. How ever, the topic of the reeds is of great interested while I tested a few already. The Selmer D with Vandooren Java Red 2.5 does it for me but that doesn't mean there could be some improvement in sound using another brand or type. I'd be happy to learn more about it. Kind regards en thank you so much for even the smallest reply.

      Alto reed comparison video is here: ua-cam.com/video/PbzeCFXjrb8/v-deo.htmlsi=RBBB3Dp-_zw0jNEQ At three years in I would probably suggest sticking to one horn for the moment while you get more comfortable, but whether that's tenor or alto depends on which you prefer: I would go with the one you like best, have players you prefer on that horn etc.

    • @matt-darwin
      @matt-darwin Місяць тому

      On this, microphone is a SAMAR AL95 ribbon, through a Warm Audio TB12 preamp (on the vintage transformer and pushed a bit). I also often use an EV RE20 or a Lauten Audio LA320 tube condenser; and very occasionally a multi mic setup. Post prod, Valhalla Vintage Verb for reverb, and then a little compression from Kush Novatron and some high shelving with a Kush Clariphonic (hardware).
