I love this solo, it is a thing of beauty. The phrasing, the sub tone, the enclosures, etc etc. Bloody marvellous. I am busy transcribing it by ear now.
This is the very video that convinced me to buy a chu, and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Beautiful horn with a phenomenal sound. Great playing!
But do you sound like him ^^ on it? He sounds very similar on every horn he plays in these videos -- like himself! It's not the arrow, it's the archer.
Hello, I like very much the interpretation, the sound. Thank you for the information on the backing track, but or I may find the partition which goes with? Thank you beforehand Gaby
Excelente, Stuart, felicitaciones!!! Te hago una pregunta: siempre usas la misma boquilla/caña en tus interpretaciones? Cuáles? Abrazo y muchas gracias!!! Excellent, Stuart, congratulations !!! I ask you a question you always use the same mouthpiece / reed in your performances? Which? Hug and thank you very much !!!
Nice sound! I used to have a Chu. I think yours sounds better. Mine was satin silver with a 24 carat Gold washed bell. It was a good horn, and I hated to part with it.
Not meant to dissolve the playing and with total,respect ...Split bell keys... it's a Conn Transitional not Chu...I've owned and played one for the last 25 years...it's a 33

Incredible tone and great control. I genuinely enjoyed this, but just missing a bit of feeling through some passages. It's all down to microtiming and dynamics. Taking into account this was played over a backing track on headphones in front of a camera in a store, compared to playing with a band in an audience filled club, wow! There is no denying that this gentleman is anything but a truely wonderful player.
Love your playing and mostly your wonderfull sound! Man it s huge and dark! May i know your set up ? Is that an EB Link? My best regards from Ont. Canada Mario
There are many components to jam backing tracks. One plan I found that succeeds in merging these is the Makale Jam Plan (check it out on google) without a doubt the most useful info that I've seen. Check out this interesting website.

Great tune fantastic tone ,but I bought my sax from gear for music for £349 and get the same results ,you don,t have too pay big bucks too get the same sound it,s all down too the player ,don,t get brand blind play to your budget, the important thing IS play and enjoy
Its NOT about the instrument......its the musician....very little about the opening tip or lay of the mouthpiece..etc etc. Getz played on so many variables of tenors/ reeds mouthpieces......but Getz was Getz.....Desmond was Desmond!!!
The first part of Blue Bossa is where tenors make it, or break it. Chu Berry is a good horn, but the player chose a wrong approach for Blue Bossa. Dexter Gordon did the same mistake. The right answer is - don't follow the sheet music, but follow instead what the instrument requires. Those long notes must be played differently, with some articulation, vibrato, sub-tone, change of pitch, not with the same type of articulation and dynamics, because in the music key played, they are repetitive and sound too monotonous. Change the key, do something. But the second part was better, though, because this tenor has enough of horsepower to deliver a good tone up and down the scale without much effort.
its all subjective man dexters blue bossa has been and remains a popular version of it personally i think this guys tone is amazing and its not the horn its the player !
@@Butterking99 It's not subjective, but very objective music analysis. Bossa Nova has inception in cool jazz, played by saxophonist Bud Shank, on arrangements of Brazilian music played on guitar by Laurindo Almeida, in early 1950s. That is where it all starts. Then that expression and records go to Brazil, Brazilians listen to it and like it, experiment on it, and Bossa Nova is then "officially born" in early 1960s. The vocabulary of cool jazz is very different from the east coast jazz. Very different. Players like Dexter Gordon or Coleman Hawkins, and others, don't have that feel, their Bossa Nova, when they play it, is inert, rigid, repetitive and stale. While Stan Getz, who is a cool jazz player from the west coast, or Paul Desmond too, understand that language, and uplift Bossa and Samba to another level.
@@zvonimirtosic6171 its still subjective that’s just your opinion if it was objective, you would have multiple facts and proof that this is true which isn’t the case. You can whale a blues over a bossa drum groove if you want and it can still sound good and isn’t rigid what you’re saying is rigid and not jazz music.. do you play ? i understand your thought process but have you heard dexters phrasing or colemans its very very melodic and is just as important as the style your playing in if you want to hear true representation of a style or genre classical is more of that mindset of replication of a sound or feeling to the exact point jazz is definitely not and more interpretation than it is structure even in the swing era!
@@Butterking99 It's not my "subjective" opinion, but Bossa Nove is a well defined music style, also a cultural style, with certain standards. People who developed it, they stated what was their goal and how they got to it, so I base my opinion on that.
@@zvonimirtosic6171 so by that same logic when John Coltrane sped up a blues and improvised over the top of it even though it has a well defined style and characteristic language it wasn’t up to the blues standards? bs. To play in a certain style all that is needed is certain characteristics of that style, but not standard tropes especially melodic, very loose guidelines if you will let’s say we play a bossa nova at 180 bpm it’s still a bossa nova although it’s blistering fast you can play whatever the hell you want over top of it. It will always be a bossa because the rhythm section is following that style, even if melodically diverts it’s your opinion that it’s not following those standards it technically still is a bossa to judge this guy’s interpretation is ridiculous. Better yet other tenor players. there’s no making or breaking monk never played standard Swing shit In his cords, but he was still swinging like hell! Don’t box yourself in style is one aspect of the many things taking place in a tune
+08waltew ??? You are probably from the '400-notes-a-minute- and -play-anything-but-the-melody-in-a-different-key-hey-where-has-my-audience-gone'-school.
That tone is insane!
For pure tone, those old Conn’s are hard to beat.
Chu Berry saxophones have become impossible to find !
I love this solo, it is a thing of beauty. The phrasing, the sub tone, the enclosures, etc etc. Bloody marvellous. I am busy transcribing it by ear now.

This is the very video that convinced me to buy a chu, and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Beautiful horn with a phenomenal sound. Great playing!
Been looking for a nice horn and this is slowly convincing me to look it up
Buying a Chu too!
But do you sound like him ^^ on it? He sounds very similar on every horn he plays in these videos -- like himself! It's not the arrow, it's the archer.
Beautiful tone and phrasing! ❤❤❤
Nice job sir..thanks for the video gift very classy tasteful playing...God bless you for giving
Perfect !! No mistake on any single note.This is a real Pro.

c'est la sonorité que je préfère du sax tenor
This is not a tenor sax
Andre Bencosme how is this a bass sax 🤣🤣🤣
@@kunsamaiscool9602 Yes it is. Tenor.
@Andre Bencosme Tenor.
Sounds great! Sounds like Joe Henderson with a hint of Dexter Gordon
I don't hear the Henderson. Too open for that. But I can see the Dexter comparison.
@@jrbeckman2194 both deaf
Che meraviglia
maravillosa!!!
Yeah! Well done and inspiring 👍🐳😍(I did a clarinet version of this song recently 😅)
Very cool
Nice sound! I used to have a Chu. I think yours sounds better. Mine was satin silver with a 24 carat Gold washed bell. It was a good horn, and I hated to part with it.
great!
Bellissimo davvero bravo
It’s a Chu Berry transitional ,it only has a high F raised side key ,that was the first change .its all Chu baby!
oK, Ohhhhh. very nice.
Parfait !
Muito legal ver tanto sax tenor☺☺☺
I wonder what mouthpiece he's using. Maybe a Selmer long shank Soloist?
looks like a long shank but yep
Conn chu berry tenor saxophone are the best. Other than selmers. Conns kill the cannonball
Yeaaaahhh man!!!!
Hermosa interpretation
Magnífico
Not meant to dissolve the playing and with total,respect ...Split bell keys... it's a Conn Transitional not Chu...I've owned and played one for the last 25 years...it's a 33
Totally agree I own a 34.

How is this a "backing track"?
Suena como dexter Gordon 🤔
Uau
Its NOT about the instrument......its the musician....very little about the opening tip or lay of the mouthpiece..etc etc. Getz played on so many variables of tenors/ reeds mouthpieces......but Getz was Getz.....Desmond was Desmond!!!
quando chiudi una frase tendi a perdere volume, soprattutto sulle note basse. è come se parlando non si capissero le ultime parole
Certo, ma non parla, suona bellisimo.
