Patrick's going to be one of those players that gets studied in jazz courses in like 2100.
Fr
I thought it was a tenor from how smooth the sound was but it’s an alto
Took most of Japanese jazz, hope not
@@tallreversdI thought it was an alto from how it sounded like the exact range of an alto
Despite of what a technical beast and beautiful player he is now, there’s so much more he’ll become!
Love this solo so much, but also shout out to the INCREDIBLE rhythm section who elevate it even further! Changing through so many awesome feels, and then the ride finally coming in at 1:59 is perfection 😩
man was thumping that bass, gotta love it
Also shoutout to the plants for providing Oxygen behind, nature's truly a blessing from god
Did you see the drummer flip his stick at that moment too? Legendary
Oh my, I'm embarassed to say I hadn't heard of Patrick. Not only a deep understanding of the chord changes, but also stylistic nuance, and he quotes all kind of great licks with the greatest of ease. Wow. I need to watch again, and again, and again....
All his Emmet's Place episodes were great as are all Pat's J-Music Ensemble stuff. I'm a Consouls fan so some years ago got a YT recommendation for J-Music and I was immediately transfixed by Pat's playing. Every note has life and soul.
i personally know/discovered him through one of adam neely videos with the jmusic ensemble that cooldebt mentioned, then through him getting hired to perform on fighting game tournaments
I think we all had this phase lmao
1:19 i think as musicians we all know the feeling Patrick must have felt here and the band as well. It's like nothing else in the world. It's what we live for. Thank you
Damn straight
great bassist feeding the energy. if you listen youll hear the bass carry the melody and move the changes while giving a nice feel good stuff
Russell Hall is brilliant. Emmet also has Yasushi Nakamura and Philip Norris play bass in his trio and they are incredible bassists too.
👍
👍
2:37 solo so fire that the camera couldnt handle it
His musical IQ is so fucking high he’s got the syrup and he can swing. Honestly this player is bordering on virtuoso
BORDERING??
@@EndOfStates Yeah he's just on the top border waiting for a higher category than virtuoso to be created just to pop right into

I met Patrick on what was coincidentally his birthday one evening at a jazz bar in Tokyo, he owned the night. Phenomenal sax player, and an all-round great guy!
😮
About time George transcribed this solo. Its legendary!
only took two years since the channel’s inception 😂
I'm just as impressed that someone can transcribe this.
Comparing this transcription to Sharp Eleven’s transcription of Patrick Bartley’s solo, I think this one didn’t really highlight the nuances between using flats and sharps to highlight chord shapes and notated certain things that can’t really be described by sheet music (hence all the appoggiaturas) along with certain quotes (like “Lester leaps in” at the end) that aren’t transcribed correctly. But, the pitches are accurate and even catches certain notes that sharp eleven missed. Nevertheless it’s still beautifully transcribed.
I love how sweet his high notes are
3:04 My favorite and most beautiful phrase ever!
That shit has been stuck in my head nonstop
When a solo doesn't sounds like a solo you know it's a great one!
Wow. It's odd, I can hear Bird, Cannonball, maybe some old Bix Biderbeck bouncy influence, just a wide variety of influences that sound very very traditional jazz, yet he does these perfect modern modulations slipped in where he really plays outside, then plays "traditional" again. Yet through the whole this he's got a very unique and personal style.
he also mess with that classic alto growl sound that you used to hear
I love it
Well, he's the founder of the j-music ensemble after all!
I heard some references to the Django reinhardt recording too tbh
Pat has mentioned Bix a few times when he has talked about techniques and feel during his streams. Definitely is one of his noticeable influences.
@@SaxmanUSMC sweet! I didn't think I was far off on that one. Thanks for letting me know.
I've listened to this solo about 20 times and I just noticed an awesome moment between Russell hall and emmet cohen at 1:47 when Russell starts this descending sequential pattern and emmet catches it like 2 bars later and plays it with him. They're always listening so intently to each other it makes the rhythm section swing so hard
Great spot
great catch
I didn't even realise it was Emmet playing the second time until you said it
I would like to casually point attention to Patrick's solo in the live performance of "The Days When My Mother Was There". Absolutely amazing. Probably my favorite sax solo of all time.
Oooh, yes. For the uninitiated, J-Music Ensemble has some really great solos from all the band members but I think Corridors of Time from the Black Cat LES sessions is unforgettable
Thank you so much. It means a lot to me that you still remember J-MUSIC.
@@cooldebtyes! I was just finding it (couldnt remember if it was on Millennial fair or Corridors of time).
That solo is literally what got me to subscribe and excitedly see what else they churned out over the years... Was not disappointed!
I love their passion for the music and the games coming through :).
@@PatrickBartleyMusic could never forget, some of my absolute favorite recordings
@@PatrickBartleyMusicthe persona 5 cover is how I originally found you!!! and then I saw you guys' cover of Tank! and then my friend was showing me a video of you soloing over splatoon music, and THEN I saw the outdoor performance of after you've gone.
that's definitely when you became a favorite.
Man he's genuinely one of the greatest soloists i've ever heard. This guy is all about that vibe and style. I love how serious and refined his technique is and then you go to his youtube and it's just him covering splatoon and persona tracks. Absolutely one of my favorite musicians.
2:14 just shows how good all of this guys are, without even glancing at each other they all got the musical idea and hit those beats together
How did they do that? Genuinely curious
@@germangonzalez4347It’s a piece of musical vocabulary from another song. All of these guys know that tune, so when Patrick played a line from it, they all picked up on it. Look up Patrick Bartley’s video on this song and his performance. He explains it there better.
0:17 Russell Hall on Bass reaction to Bartley's "out of time" moment is so funny 😆
Y’all! Solo was unreal! But hear me out… That rhythm section!!! 🔥🔥🔥
I don’t think there exists a better possible start to the phrase at 1:18
That high G at 3:06 is like nothin else. So much passion
I get goosebumps every single time I hear that passage
It's simply amazing
Oh my...that was so bad ass! What at talent. And yeah, that rhythm section, so on point!!
absolutely speechless. I need to practice
My band instructor would play this at the beginning of every class as we were getting our shit prepared. I've listened to this song far to many times to be okay
I'm just goanna say it; one of the greatest solos ever taken. Period.
Patrick's control over the saxophone is just incredible. Floating in and out of altissimo ranges like it's part of the normal range of the instrument is just inhuman.
To all the sax players out there: This is an example for just one word of appreciation : A monster!
3:00 gorgeously emotional phrase
trumpet guy just vibing in the back is a mood
This exact quartett is INSANE, especially the classy drumming and piano make it sounds super swinging. Patrick Bartley just goes crazy, one of my favorite sax solos of all time
This feels like a sunny day, a walk in the park, a beachday with friends. Amazing solo
drumming with babish
I’ve been obsessed with this solo ever since my band director showed me it. So good!!!
absolutely incredible
God, he's so fluent and smooth it almost feels like he's talking with his instrument. Love that homage to Jones Girl at 1:20!
what song?
not really a “homage,” he’s just repeating a note-definitely not unique, or even originated with the jones girl
Nice to see Pat getting some love
Yeah we've been waiting for this transcription
Oh man what a masterclass.
Holy hell Patrick is such an amazing beast
This solo is too legendary to cost over 2 yrs to transcribe.
Omg 😳
Absolutely incredible performance 🎵🎼❤️👌
Great style and energy , I haven’t been able to play since the loss of my son many years ago but this made me go dig out my alto case and hold the sax I ain’t played for over a decade . Thank you .
Why did it take me this long to realize that I was reading George and not Jacob when looking at this channel name 😭 I genuinely thought this was Jacob’s channel for the longest time.
XD
This is one of my favorite videos on this channel so far!
Mhm. Good it lasts longer than most of George's videos
This is still my absolute favorite episode of emmet's place and might also be one of my favorite jazz moments ever. Just amazing.
This is insane. Patrick's on fire!
3:00 HOLYYY BROOOOO
Something about his solos just hits different.
Yes.. I feel like I'm in a speakeasy late 1920s right before the Bebop/swing era
3:12 lester leaps in!!
ten seconds in i just have to honor Moby in the back. What a humble character you are for realizing your back up potential
I think this is the perfect alto solo. Unbelievable.
The solo that goes before I'm up for improv :
So happy to see Patrick getting more attention. Such a passionate guy and an excellent alto player!
i have listened to this recording probably well over 500 times
Thats a crazy solo 🔥☠️
I cherish this solo like a lost love
The way he plays right in the pocket at 1:21 is unreal
2:51 HOW COULD HE IMPROVISE THAT LINE
Practice.
@@frasertones8519 correct.. but still amazing
INSANE LINE, using the f minor triad.
@@rhydon3469pretty sure it's a C# triad. Tritone sub.
Tritone substitution (#4 or b5 of G = C#/Db). Sounds great, and leads smoothly to a resolution a half-step lower to C. Classic voice leading.
im actually mad about hearing this because i genuinely have never heard a better sax solo and now everything else i listen to just has me wanting more
Listen to the version they did live. The solo is just as good if not better
🤯 I have no words to describe this absolutely insane performance.
I recently saw this band preform in seattle! They are amazing
Another Patrick masterpiece
hes just on another level
1:19 I feel it in my bones every single time
It makes me so happy seeing Pat getting the recognition he deserves. He’s such an underrated musician
First time hearing this solo... oh dear laawd. Absolutely destroying those changes stylistically and rhythmically. Never drops the pace or build-up either. That very last altissimo B scooped down to altissimo G sent me spiraling. An absolute masterpiece.
This is pure gold!!
Sensational! Patrick has it all... technique, sound and energy. I just love this solo.
Wow. That was amazing. What an honor to see.
How do you just spit this out on the fly 😮💨
LETS GO I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
We can all look back on this and remember we heard him when... This solo is so good, you could spend an entire course analyze it. I also enjoy the use of double sharps by the transcriber.
he makes the sax sound like a clarinet
that's some skill right there
wait.. he does-
You’ve never heard clarinet
@@q12aw50 nah i heard
Bars 194-196? Art. So well done.
Man, I need an endless version of this.
That run at 2:52 is MAGICAL
Imagine having to take solo after this master piece 😭
Haven't heard this kind of playing since Phil Wood. This guy is a MONSTER!!!
ive watched this so many times and this just feels more than a solo its like hes literally talking or painting a cavans
I like this classic busy old school vibe in the piano playing too
Just a Superstar on Alto, possibly the best on the planet. So many examples on UA-cam of his genius but this one quite rightly has huge exposure. The whole band a phenomenal too, what. A performance.
George, just wanted to say thanks for all the great new music you're turning me on to! Every selection is great, keep it up!
That might be the most well constructed solo I've ever heard.
FINALLY! I was waiting for this solo transcription.
that tritone sub at 2:51 is chef kiss
AWESOME!!! Johnny Hodges Flavor!! You Are A Beast Sir!!!!!
I love how the drummer anticipates the next next line at 2:13. Listen for it... jazz at it's BEST!!!
Really nice catch there. Had to go back when I saw this comment lol
The whole band plays the same thing. The sax must have played a cue.
Patrick said on his channel that the drummer played that rhythm moments before the whole band caught it. Mentioned it to explain the importance of listening and paying attention in solos. If you listen carefully you can hear the drummer set that rhythm up a bit before Patrick and the others play it. Awesome moment!
@@aumenarys Yes the whole band plays the response but I'm talking about the drummer anticipating the whole lick.
@@frasertones8519 I see :)
I’ve been listening to this song more specifically the sax solo since it came out and I just knew this solo deserved attention on the dot
One of my favorites.
Have been listening to this non stop
Love the guy in the background just in awe the whole time
This sax solo will never go away!
The trumpeter in chilling in the back with eternal stank face cuz of how incredible the solo is
This is literally how I want every saxophonist to sound in the world. Even his growls are smooth somehow!
Oh my GOD that was ridiculously awesome. FUCK.
oh i love this guy and his groups covers for video game music!!! i love j music! :) beautiful solo
Thank you so much, you have no idea how happy that makes me 😭🙏🏾
@@PatrickBartleyMusic Out of the sea of comments, you took the time to respond to mine, what an honor! I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love your music. I first heard your band's rendition of MvC2's Clock Tower and couldn't get enough. The music that you play consistently accompanies me when studying. Thank you for your amazing work!
I've been waiting for this day. Thanks George!
I've been asking for this one, lets freaking goooo
So clean it’s dirty
everyone and their mother has transcribed this grammy deserving solo (we should nominate it lol)
3:00 these few seconds are just gorgeous
