The Horn on this video is a Selmer MKVI, but I believe he also uses a Selmer Balanced Action. The piece is an Otto Link. I read somewhere he uses a 6* but I wouldn't swear to that. 6*s thro 8*s seem to be the pieces of choice. Which vintage of Link? I don't know, but most guys prefer either New York vintage Links or Florida vintage links. Not definitive I'm afraid but close maybe??
Eric likes a 6 opening for the Link. He could be playing his own Model Ishimori. He currently plays that horn. It’s not a stock Link, it’s been modified! That’s where all that projection comes from. Also uses 3M D’Adarrio unfiled reeds.
This is pure gold! I transcribed what he plays and made a little worksheet out of it. Check it out on: sax-o-holic.blogspot.de/2018/01/eric-alexanders-altered-approach.html

Such a great sound

Anyone know where to find that worksheet they were using
he has an impressive tone going on there. you can hear coltrane, dexter gordon and george coleman in there all at once :)
He studied with George for many years.
iPad died.. This is so funny how he's giving them gold and they're like: "what?"
What brand of the saxophone 🎷 and the mouthpiece?
