I played this for him as an auditor at the Alessi seminar once upon a time. He said the same thing, but like this: “what’s the difference between 4 and 6?”
My dumb ass said “2.”
Hey critics! Please post your most recent live performances, so we all can hear the true benchmark. Please hurry! I just can't wait.
Lucky! Got recommended this video just 2 mins after being uploaded 😄
get him a better mic setup please
Great Rythm…But…intonation is strange. I respect Joe as one of the best player. Is-it correct because tonal center is so right and so out sometimes?
I notice the same too. I don't want to blame the mic but could be the acoustics is too dry and also the mic compressed the sound. Also could be Mr Alessi's playing 😕
could be that he’s adjusting to how the intonation in an orchestra (for example a major third should be 14 cents flat and a perfect fifth 2 cents sharp) so it sounds off to us but would should even more in tune playing in the section
That's much more technical and reasonable@@thebagelman2852
In fact, Joe has a really great intonation that is largely helped by his solid tone also. The intonation is adjusted to play with the orchestra and i know when the player is a soloist or an orchestral player that adjust interval to match. In this case, this a pure octave with small exception. Sometimes it is tempered, sometimes it is pure intonation (it is right if everybody follow and sometimes, it is completely out. It sounds off to my hear by all the pitch temperament he use. but I don't want to judge hear may be it was a bad day for him. Joe is one of the greatest. He is human after all.
Even making allowances for pitch adjustment based upon harmonic context, this sounds pretty out of tune. Especially by Joe's normal extremely impressive standard of intonation.
did you all compress the sound heavily on the playing section?
In audition you play it with the triplet base. In real life, you adjust to your colleague. He is right at the base and it is absolutely correct. He should play the double with a small burst of air to make it heard more clearly with a quick and fluent wrist shot (instead of elbow action in 5 to 6 position like he is doing). Little burst will sounds maybe exagerated but sounds great at in the concert hall. In audition, i would chose to play it lineartly like linear playing like he does because the comity maybe don't urdsentand the acoustical phenomen and the necessity of the small burst on the short unheard little not. This burts of air can lead to be kicked out in audition because is is less beautiful in audition even if wee know it is better on concert hall. You have to play really different for audition I think. It would be my choice to do the same thing than Joe Alessi. The triplet based is a great opportunity to add a very small burst of air. So...if we go back to rythm...He is right to emphasis on triple base pattern that he is so misunderstood by many players. Thanks to him to pay this attention. The double, the way with a triplet approach, has a little bit longer time to burst in control and be -heard- effectively. In orchestral setting, the double is swallowed (unheard clearly) by two factors: Those guys who are doing too quick with a double base approach (so we don't hear it) and this who do it tripled base perfection without accentuated the double the way it should be swallowed (so we don't hear it) in the texture. Clarity is the approach. His solid tone for long note is really great.
good advice! maybe he'll make a name for himself one day!
I think everyone knows the importance of bringing out the smaller notes in concert performances, but the audition is always a compromise. Alessi is not only the finest all round trombonist today, he’s a remarkable teacher.
Just curios what is the blue trigger thumb rest? Is it a special material it looks sick
Sounds like an automaton. Is this a real trombonist, or AI. Way to clinical and static.
Who the heck would ever play it the duple bass rhythm way? It sounds nothing like that at all.
Someone who is learning it for the first time and isn't as experienced
Noice rhythm but intonation is meh
why do they put him in such a shit room
