Ed thank you! Still to this day when someone asks me where I learned to sight read I tell them about your band and the hundreds of songs in your book. It was a real privilege getting to play with you guys and especially at a young age, really helped me improve.
You realize you are probably one of the few people who can actually do this... I’ve had the pleasure of going to Berklee School of Music, and not even the professors could do what you do. What a legend you are.
@@gil-evens this is easily the hardest saxophone solo of all time. To say it is not extremely difficult is like saying that anyone can paint like pollock and van Gogh.
@@havenwestcott3189 Not the hardest at all. Improvising through the changes may be difficult but the solo in itself is pretty melodic. I already seen people scatting the solo.
Holy moly! Dude! You need more views! People don't realize how complex this song is! Especially jazz isn't really popular nowadays! But the way you played it with such a rich and beautiful sound, totally proves that you could end up being a legend! Like Coltrane!!
The most amazing thing about this, is the tone similarities its the same very bright tone that coltrane had, and it sounds just too alike and its impressive!
*Ron Burgundy Voice* “DON’T ACT LIKE YOU’RE NOT IMPRESSED!” Wow. This is hands down one of the most amazing performances I have ever witnessed. I played this at my dead dog’s funeral and he started barking again. 🐕 🔥
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. However, I am a musician and experienced in various genre…..jazz being my favorite; I was 5 yrs old when Coltrane passed…..but man Cut my teeth….listening to Coltrane….sir.
@@reynaldomadridi7238 I am a jazz musician as well, and as both of us are jazz musicians, we know that it is harder to improvise, than to sight read it. I just don't think that you can say that this man is on par with john coltrane by him playing something through practicing and reading, when john made this up off the top of his head.
@@lukakomadina6470 I concur…..I have observed the technical & classically trained musician marvel at the gifted legends of the likes of Coltrane…..who off straight improvising and feel/vibe be able to play tune that are standards to this day and time. My comment was only a compliment to the young man….playing one of the most complete and to the note version of Giant Steps…..I have personally ever heard. Of course….Coltrane is one of greatest jazz musicians of all time!
@@reynaldomadridi7238 Look, the fact that coltrane did this first try does not take away from the fact that this man is elite in what he does, but the point that I disagree with is that you said that he is on par with coltrane. That's all, let's leave it at that.
My favorite jazz song. Recreating what someone else did vs. being the one that heard it, wrote it, and played it isn’t fair. This song resonates all this many years says it all. Enjoy it!
Hey dawg you killed that shit. I sold my reference 36 almost 10 years ago and it is by far the most stupid thing I’ve ever done in my life. I gotta get another horn ASAP.
This is excellent. A "good" sight-reader and/or classically trained performer can manage this well from the actual transcribed solo found in the 'Trane Solo Book - although not with the same emotions and phrasings as John himself. A number of "scat" vocalists has made wonderful duplications of this solo - and those of others - with accuracy and precision second-to-none. On soprano RECORDER, Benoit Sauve is the master duplicator - with all the Oganic Jazz nuances. Great performance, champ; keep on doing your thing saxophonically! Lohvissimo!
You forgot to ***breathe***
**inhales**
**exhales**
He has mastered the art of inhaling with his nose and exhaling straight out of his mouth all at once.
Do it !
Ibrahim Farid Just circular breathing, lol
@@BibtheChib That's not how circular breathing works, lol.
I had the honor of this guy playing with my big band a few yrs ago. What a talent then, but totally killing it now! You go, Erez!!
Ed thank you! Still to this day when someone asks me where I learned to sight read I tell them about your band and the hundreds of songs in your book. It was a real privilege getting to play with you guys and especially at a young age, really helped me improve.
literally perfect! sounds almost like someone added a chorus effect to the original sax track
Probably the room echo
@@Thaligamathor nah its just that he's playing alongside the original giving it that doubled effect
You realize you are probably one of the few people who can actually do this... I’ve had the pleasure of going to Berklee School of Music, and not even the professors could do what you do. What a legend you are.
Faut pas exagérer tout de même
Seriously ? The solo doesn't seem extremely difficult, pretty melodic actually. But since you went to Berklee I believe we should trust you
@@gil-evens About half the people in the Jazz Studies division at UNT can run Giant Steps. Those guys are insane.

Was jazz ever popular? xD
@@Khazandar from the 20s to the 40s jazz was probably the most popular genre and held large popularity into the 60s
tremendous player and a monster sight reader... bravos all around!
kaspafischer He remember it all by heart he just got the paper for looks 🤣
you think anyone can just sight read this?
@@yazzer4963 not even an asian kid could
It’s good af but not sight read LOLL
Wheres the sightreading
I feel like I shouldn't have been allowed to see that for free. Top man!
Very talented, he knows his chords, great performance.
The robot plays organized sounds. You play actual music. Outstanding!
"organized sounds" is actually the best definition of music
@@elias2218 Read the description and see the video.

Wow. This is hands down one of the most amazing performances I have ever witnessed.

Well played man, must have taken a lot of work. Hats off to you. Excellent- truly!
WHY DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS???
Absolutely amazing, just wow. Blowing my mind right now...this is one of my favorite tunes and you're on it...hats off, two thumbs way way up.
I play trumpet why am I here
I play drums. Wondering the same thing. This cat is so blazing that it makes ME want to quit lol
Same here, trumpet. Can’t help but admire the musicality tho
because we all have one thing in common; a love for jazz
Same.
I play bass, piano and harmonica and I'm also here chilling.
You are nothing but a MONSTER BRO!!!! congrats!!!!!!!!
Fuck that was good...
How have I just found this?
Typed giant steps??????????
I just found this now
never seen it til now
This needs more views Outstanding Amazing Job
Wow!!! Simply wow. You can keep up with Coltrane.
Such a great way editing the notes flow
Not quite my tempo.
hotelmario510 delete your comment this a disgrace
@@varunnair4705 I can't tell if you got the reference and are joking or not
Shardul Parthasarathy got the reference, overused joke
@@varunnair4705 So? Bruh you flaming over a joke.
@@varunnair4705 it's not that serious relax
This is great!!! i know it took you forever to learn this but i respect that keep working man
Pound for pound.....The best version of Giant Steps.....ever played! On par with the Legend him self....Coltrane! Amazing stuff! timeless!
No, that is a big stretch. Coltrane played it first try. Whilst this man is insanely good, to say that he is on par with Coltrane is almost offensive.

Great job dude!
my tenor sax teacher is assigning me to play this song, I am totalyl freaked out
If your teacher believes in you with such a hard song, you can!!
My favorite jazz song. Recreating what someone else did vs. being the one that heard it, wrote it, and played it isn’t fair. This song resonates all this many years says it all. Enjoy it!
How the hell can 21 people dislike this incredible feat of stamina and dexterity... some people are truly fucking stupid.. Great cover dude!
Now this cat can play !!!
He did not bother writting the key signature xD
This is the most amazing CV I've ever seen!
So sick, dude... Bravo
Hey dawg you killed that shit. I sold my reference 36 almost 10 years ago and it is by far the most stupid thing I’ve ever done in my life. I gotta get another horn ASAP.
It looks like someone trying to play music from a note sheet full of ants
damn dude this is crazy

awesome
Just wauu....Speechless. can't you be my music teacher please
Dude you beat the last level, nice
I’m gonna try and speed run this
Dope! Getting the notes on the video was probably pretty hard.
very impressive! That's inspiring!
My Gosh!! I have fallen in love :)
only cover ive seen thats actually at fucking tempo, good work
This deserves more view, I am very impressed!!
Heckin bop well done
Damnnnnn, Great!
STAMINA!
This is incredible!
This drummer just having a blast
hypnotic.
god tier
I have no idea how this is possible!!!
There's peanut butter in that saxaphone.
Incredible
Holy shit. That's incredible.
GOOD WORK HAPPY HOLIDAYS
great job.
amazing man! Just amazing
bravo
wow!!
Picked my horn back up after nearly 20 years and somehow I think I can make this happen. Yeah, I can be delusional sometimes.
Some very minor errors, but absolutely awesome. As an All-State high school lead alto, I can say this is incredibly difficult stuff. Great job.
For this year 2023 I'll practice whistling this, I'm probably going to make it slower because I'm not that great of a whistler
Great job sir, wow
imagine someone rapping on this and flowing with the bass
First,u gotta find the key😂
Man this is mind blowing 🔥🔥🔥😮
This is excellent.

Bruh you deserve more subs
Amazing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎼🎷💫

Wow, this even got claimed as being the original, I don't know if I call that an achievement or a tragedy, but it sure is something
Awesome!
Nicissimo!
Nice chorus pedal
I thought jazz was about improv?? Lmao either way sounds perfect
