Hi AMMstudios.. Gary Sugal here! .. Gerald is playing on our KW II 18kt Heavy Gold Plated Pure Copper Metal Mouthpiece I personally for him a number of years ago. You can confirm this by taking a close look half way through the video you'll notice our ligature that has a recessed blue insert. Our ligatures work only on our SG and KW models..Enjoy GS
albright is in another level, i have been for many year studying him, and transcribing his solos for the alto,one thing stand up on him always,is the diction in every note he plays , no matter how fast or slow, or high or low. Every phrase have a clear punctuation, like when playing a classical music from shit of paper.(please listen to dream come true solo,i think is one of his best.
I love me a smooth jazz player whose solos aren't comprised of just playing scales up and down with a blues scale every now and then. You can definitely tell that this guy has checked out some of the older jazz cats from the swing, bebop, and hard bop eras based upon his note selection. And same for that piano player!! YESSIR! Killin stuff right here.
My only complaint with this video is that Gerald wasn't mic'd properly. I know that its a difficult duting a live performance but its a missed chance to record Gerald's music as clearly as possible. Its awesome when you can play back a track so clear that it sounds like you're there.
One of my first tapes for Sax Gerald Albright, ya he's all Right! My music is so old, it was just the next step up from from vinyl :) still works fine for listening to .
Time for one of my favorite ones from Gerald - Bermuda Nights - definitely what I need listening to it rain once again the last 3 days! Beats snow:) TY so very much - Music is the oxygen that should make us all breathe better, turn sadness into a smile🎼🎤✨ 🎶 The very best
I love this my I get up and go for a walk in my state park on a bright and sunny morning with my ear bugs plugged in my ear's what a way to start my day worry and care free with the very best sound's of my favorite jazz I love it ....
@JonovskiJ - He is using a multiphonic. I played all though college and big bands and never could do this, but for some reason this year, I can break up my high register like this. It is a multi-phonic and I create these I think by using my throat and vocal chords slightly to break the note.
Great sulful tenor playing solid rhythm section the tune has a Jazz Crusader feel to it Jeff Lorber use to rehearse with me in my house in 1971fourty yerars ago .saw him 6 years ago and said he did not know me Gemini sax
Just fyi, most guys that do like the sound they get out of a beechler or ottolink usually lower the baffle and expand the chamber. This enables them to get a really big sound, I myself, modified my dukoff. But yeah, Links tend to choke out. I used to use one for years, I could get the same type of sound but as a dukoff, but then i found myself blowinng super hard and destorying reeds. this is with good techinque and ligature and all.
@JonovskiJ I am able to do this on the alto on a few notes, and I've noticed that I lessen the pressure that my lower lip exerts on the reed just slightly and blow really, really loud.
@JonovskiJ Important note: 99% of times when you wonder about how someone does something, it most likely has nothing to do with the setup. Just a quick note my friend xD
@rasenganpimp Just my thoughts, yours are welcome as well of course. I'm familiar with Albright's style, I just thought. I enjoy discussing stuff like this. Thanks for posting, btw
@JonovskiJ you can hum while you're playing. i've been growling for years and that's how i do it. you can look online for in depth directions on how, but trust me. hum while you're playing. you'll get it. loud loud loud and on the upper (not altissimo so much, but certainly not lower) register.
@Edwardkor98 thanks for the info =D i just started playing alto 3 weeks ago so im still figuring out the different sounds between the alto and the tenor i ment to ask tenor or alto i dont know why i put soprano in there
@AMMstudios I'm pretty sure he uses a Sugal Kirk Whalum II. I have neither seen one nor heard of anyone else who uses them, but I'm pretty dang sure Gerald Albright does.
@AMMstudios @rasenganpimp I think it's a link. You could hear some parts where he tried to push it to go louder. A high baffle/small chamber (Beechler, dukoff) would have gotten louder and maybe thinner, too. The Link can't handle all that air and it almost chokes on it. My analysis, anyways.
@stradivarius151 I'm almost 100% positive its not a link, its a Gary Sugal Kirk Whalum MKII, like someone here said earlier, Gerald wouldn't use a link, ever lol.
@rasenganpimp mmm i personally knows his sounds since his 80s, hes been using beechlers on Alto, on tenor is some other story,off course he will be so smart to find a mouthpiece a mouthiece for the tenor that matches with his alto,to reduce the drastic change in the shows. i have try so many combinations with beechlers until i got the close to his sound.
Hard rubber Beechlers don't have any baffle I think, maybe the metal ones, but dukoffs certainly do! But yeah you're right, thats why a lot of people use links for straight ahead jazz and stuff. Here I think Geralds using a Sugal KWII but now he uses a Theo Wanne HR piece.
Uno de mis favoritos de Gerald Albright... Ricki Lawson en los Drums... fantástico , lastima que el video tenga baja resolución para apreciar mejor la genialidad..,
They don't have a super high baffle, but you can still get a Sanborn/Candy Dulfer type of sound out of em. On alto, he now uses a Custom HR Beechler. WWBW says he used to use a standard S10 HR Beechler piece and was able to get a similar sound. The metal ones sound even more like Sanborn and Candy Dulfer. Especially the ARB metal ones.

One of the best saxophonists in my opinion. He's got such an amazing sound.
wow, i love his crispness, he can play the most complex solos and still make it sound at times like he's playing from sheet music.
the piano man is Jeff Lorber. Great smooth jazz pianist.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Jeff!!!!
Lord have mercy Gerald on a tenor!!!!!! Fabulous!!!!
Love this man music, been listening to him for years
Bad to the BONE!!!
What a simple and uplifting theme! Albright at Java fest is top!
Well done. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The best music I ever listen !
Unbelievable powerful. GOOSEBUMPS everywhere!

Oh yeah there’s nuthin this man can’t play with taste and tone
Yeah man, Gerald's sick, he listened to a lot of Cannonball and Grover Washington when he was younger, he's got the best of both worlds!
A melhor do Gerald Albright na minha opinião!
5:30 - the end is my favorite... he hits those high notes with perfection! and the keyboardist is amazing as well :)
5:49 best altisimo ever
Nice! Love this song!
My only complaint with this video is that Gerald wasn't mic'd properly.

Excelente trabalho parabéns..
One of my favourites. I loveee this.
Amazing

The king of altisimo!
Gerald's having a party
Time for one of my favorite ones from Gerald - Bermuda Nights - definitely what I need listening to it rain once again the last 3 days! Beats snow:) TY so very much - Music is the oxygen that should make us all breathe better, turn sadness into a smile🎼🎤✨ 🎶 The very best
^ Finally, someone who realizes it's the player, not the setup!
Always Enjoy Gerald...
We love this stuff
this is my all-time favorite by Gerald! XD
너무 좋아요
He's playing a Sugal here I believe. Jeff Lorbers solo just kills and yes, Gerald is awesome.
I Love listening to Gerald blowin on that tenor! Cool ass sound!
o cara é o melhor show.
I love this my I get up and go for a walk in my state park on a bright and sunny morning with my ear bugs plugged in my ear's what a way to start my day worry and care free with the very best sound's of my favorite jazz I love it ....

Gerald Albright is the Real Deal. Hey, hey, hey.

Too bad

I'm now 13 and I try to play this song by ear for note,very difficult

Really Good.....
Baita som! Gerald Albright

@Sp4pptxsp294 his swing on super high notes is amazing
@ermishes He's definitely amazing on alto but he's still great on tenor... and I just love this song!!!
@Triple42 thank you!
Super Harmonics Top
@AMMstudios I'm pretty sure he uses a Sugal Kirk Whalum II. I have neither seen one nor heard of anyone else who uses them, but I'm pretty dang sure Gerald Albright does.
Yumm!
muito bom ! Very good Gerald Albright
brilliant.. what else can i say?
@rasenganpimp I did a little research and I think you're right! But it says he only uses Beechler so I don't know :P
the guy is a god !!
cool jazz
gracias por subir el video de Gerald Albright, podrias subirlo completo esté concierto?
saludos!!!
@AMMstudios @rasenganpimp
I think it's a link. You could hear some parts where he tried to push it to go louder. A high baffle/small chamber (Beechler, dukoff) would have gotten louder and maybe thinner, too. The Link can't handle all that air and it almost chokes on it. My analysis, anyways.
AL FIN SÉ SU NOMBRE!
como toca el saxo que grande!!!!
I have the alto version of that sax
Hi Brian
Hey Brian
ur so cool
Damian Castillo
kenny g you have been owned
Cool!
This cat can blow without a doubt!
Who's in the band?????
Gerald is the best...........but you already knew that! : )
@stradivarius151 I'm almost 100% positive its not a link, its a Gary Sugal Kirk Whalum MKII, like someone here said earlier, Gerald wouldn't use a link, ever lol.
@rasenganpimp On his website It says he uses beechlers on all of his saxophones.
to me he sounds a lot like Junior Walker...U can tell he listened to him..would love to hear him do "What does It take"
@rasenganpimp mmm i personally knows his sounds since his 80s, hes been using beechlers on Alto, on tenor is some other story,off course he will be so smart to find a mouthpiece a mouthiece for the tenor that matches with his alto,to reduce the drastic change in the shows. i have try so many combinations with beechlers until i got the close to his sound.

Incrível!
Uno de mis favoritos de Gerald Albright... Ricki Lawson en los Drums... fantástico , lastima que el video tenga baja resolución para apreciar mejor la genialidad..,
@rasenganpimp seems like a Lawton BB mpc, same as james carter
Yeah he wouldn't use a link, he doesn't use the sugal anymore anyway, he's switched to a Theo Wanne Durga I'm pretty sure.
toca muito
just checked out this song title HAHAHA
Does anyone know what mouthpiece he's usin?
Ricky......🙏
EAR TRAINING FTW!!! That's the only way to get better at music. Transcriptions.
It´s kind of easy to figure out the notes by ear, when one is used to dealing with standard/basic jazz progressions...
We all suck at Sax cuz God gave all the talent to Gerald...
smokin
Ricky Lawson on Drums....🙏🏻
@rasenganpimp my favorite song for him is Dream come true, i personally think is his best solo, ask any profesional sax player to follow that solo.
What is pianoman's name? I like 2:38~ his soloing!
eva kim Jeff lorber
@@noemorinjr5212 Thats right! True Philly native
aih keren banget lu men

The metal ones sound even more like Sanborn and Candy Dulfer. Especially the ARB metal ones.
Guys i believe that he is using a Gary Sugal KW 2
that's a lawton, for anyone who wonders what mouthpiece that is
I didn't know Carl Winslow could play a mean sax:)
rasenganpimp is right, he uses a sugal tenor piece and a beechler HR alto piece, both with baffles. He never uses anything without a baffle.
Casanova only wishes he was this smooth.
no way, he use a sugal kw ii
for g's sake all. just enjoy the damn music
