    Jamie, I keep coming back to this video over and over. I think about it whenever I pull out my tenor (sub tone is much easier on tenor than alto … or not even possible on soprano or Nino).
    Then it just hit me, you are wearing a Better Sax shirt… to thank Jay for the backing track in addition for your plugging his Chanel. In addition to the performance in this lesson being my favorite sax solo ever you are a classy act!
    Keep up the good work!

    Jamie your performance of Misty was so hot your Sax was smoking. I guess you do have to "Get Your Sax Together" after that hot performance. I can still hear the sizzle across the ocean. :) Great Job & Awesome Playing... Let the Music Play.

    Your teaching skills are brilliant. I learned a lot from you.i believe you are one of the best teachers on UA-cam. I have some troubles on the mouthpieces.I think high baffle mouthpieces give good response.i wonder what type of mouthpiece to play for the ballads ?i assume you play with a high baffle mouthpiece which needs less effort (air)i dont know :)thAnks again for the great videos.

      Who’s “they”? I assume you mean good jazz improvisors? If so, the answer is fairly involved as you’re really asking me “how do you improvise jazz?”
      Luckily I created an entire step by step course to address that topic and it’s called a improvisation mastery. www.getyoursaxtogether.com/improvisationmastery I open registration a few times a year.

I applaud your fantasitc tone control throughout, although I'd be less prone to include that growl at 25:56. Were you thinking of Dave Pollack at 26:19 with that weak crying altissimo slow fall? Lots of great advice, as always.

    Jamie, I adore the versatility of your playing and it proves, that 'Old School' and modern styles like funk are equally worth to be studied generously. As I am seven decades 'young', I seldom play on stage any more and instead use a lot of playbacks in different styles. Many of them have piano phrases from the beginning to the end and don't leave enough space for the soloist. Less is more, I would say, also to my beloved Video teacher Jay Metcalf! Thank you for your engaged lessons and greetings from Austria!
