Actually, a composer named Ligeti created an entire series of compositions for piano solo called "musica ricercata", which translates roughly to sophisticated music, in the first one used only one note, in the second one he used only two notes, and so on. Check it out is really great!
@barutaji Yup thanks for clarifying! I think he did it like a sort of joke, ex abrupto, to shock the listener who was into a one note piece for like 3 minutes lmao Also English is not my first language so excuse any errors!
Grace! Leo! Adam! Seriously y'all can't possibly understand how much you've pulled me through tough times. Probably my top 3 inspirations to get back into music and pull myself out of terrible depression. Literally can't thank y'all enough.
I have to say that was very impressive. Being a trumpet player a I have done similar things just like alternate fingering for the same note. This was so cool to see and hear the three of you jamb for that little bit but to explain what was going to happen. You all nailed what happened. Great job.
Dear TH-cam, Wtf! I’ve been a fan of Leo’s since the early Lucky Chops videos and a fan of Grace since working with Lee Konitz YEARS ago but only NOW have brought up this channel on my feed since I subscribe to Adam Neely?! Your algorithm is broken! I’m on one hand super happy to have discovered this channel but on the other so annoyed that I’ve missed out on two years of this! At least now I get to binge. Love you Grace and Leo (and of course Adam too). 🤘
As my fingers are no longer fast that's very inspirational thank you. The lesson I take from that is you don't have to have fast fingers to make the sax ( or any instrument ) sing
Have totally done this many times. Great way to mix up your solos so they don't always sound the same. Fun challenge is to just hold it for a long time and express feeling through change in volume alone.
i set my adam Neely trap last week. its just two set violin left imprisoned in a room with a flute and a saxophone, I told them i will only feed them when i hear jazz. Adam is bound to show up any minute now.
Underrated topic... as another example, see candidate numero uno on my list of essential single-note solos: the transcendent 72-seconds of guitar feedback that straddles the middle of Talk Talk's "After The Flood" -- pure proto-postrock bliss.
Love how music brings so many people together ❤ every time I go on recommend I see some sort of collab with musicians I wouldn’t expect get together. Just. Beautiful.
Perhaps my favorite example of one note playing is the rhythmic guitar player in Shaolin Afronauts - Kilimanjaro. The album Flight of the Ancients was recorded on tape with single takes so everyone in the band had to take that into account. That guitar plays one note throughout the entire song and does a solo based around it too and for a lack of a better description the solo sounds 4 dimensional for me. For a long while I had that song on repeat.
I find it fascinating how great these musicians are, and how great they are as presenters, especially in solo videos, but then when you see them in a group situation they can be so awkward and insecure. This is something I notice among musicians all the time. Once the music begins they transport into this whole other world, and none of it matters.
This kind of explains why VGM is actually so good. They had to work around the limitations of only having 8-bits! (But removing those limitations can make way for a lot of creativity eg the way The Consouls turned Mute City from F-Zero on its head to make a smooth jazz cover in 7/4)
@@SgtZaqq that depends. Music can be 8-bits as in, there are only 8-bits of volume information, so sine waves would be more jaggedy because there are only 256 volumes, although that's not how most 8-bit music is. It's still fair to note that the music was 8-bit because, even in consoles that were not limited to 8-bits of volume information, there were other restrictions in place in the soundchip that meant that music could only be played a certain way, like only having four voices or only being composed of basic waves or only being 12edo, etc.
Love you guys..and this is awesome to see, great content - as usual. AND - That random visit and all the seemingly surprise ideas....super hokey, I guess you were so hammy, it's hilarious. More rehearsals or acting classes!! 😍😍😍🤣🤣
@@ValkyRiver well, I didn't ask about octaves, I asked about bent notes. Is G half sharp the same as G? You wouldn't say G sharp is the same as G, would you?
This is completely random but he said we need a note and out of nowhere I say C# and a second later he says it and I jumped out of my chair in surprise.
Love this video but I've never heard Leo P talk before - For some reason I didn't expect for him to sound so normal lol Maybe i thought he was British? idk i have no rational explanation for this
The idea that Adam is just wandering around NYC, popping in on musicians ready to drop that music philosophy and dip is my nerdy version of Batman.
Lol true 😆

Yeah and the 3rd uses C, G and E but also uses Eb a little
You call that using only one note. I call that 1-tone equal temperament (or equivalently, 2-limit just intonation)
Ligeti also experimented a lot with electronic music. He was from the future back then.
I love how Adam's entrance went something off Mr. Rogers neighborhood.
Grace! Leo! Adam!

Love this new culture of cool music teachers on TH-cam. Way better than the music classes I took growing up or in college.
Adam was first introduction to Grace! And of course I've been a fan ever since

These three together is awesome. Love me some Leo P

What a great little video, who would have known a one note solo. Talent is in abundance on this stage.

I had no idea this channel of my two favourite saxy people existed, bless the algorithm for connecting me via Adam
Nice how you refer to Adam’s Girl from Ipanema video. It’s extra sneaky cuz Jobim also wrote One-Note Samba. But you knew that already
snare drummers:
look what they need to mimic a fraction of my power
your style is so iconic
Crossover event of the century!
I love all three of you.
❤️☺️❤️☺️

How kind of Adam to say the note in Eb for the saxes 😂 (at first my head was like wait that’s not C#)

so educational so many ways
you guys are amazing

as a lead guitarist i could use this idea . Awesome
Great concept here. It just so happens that I put out the transcription of Illinois Jacquet “Flyin Home” live last week, so check that out!
Just one note?
@@michaelroach4219 for an extended period of time, yes
Less is more.
@@michaelroach4219 Indeed
Great 😎
I don't play any instruments but this was informative and fun to watch.
Leo and Grace, y'all both always look amazing. I love your styles! And those chelseas... I need themmm...
Thanks, very interesting and helpful
I love the collab
Muito bom !!! Sou fã de vcs !!!
The collab we all needed, even if we didn't know we did.
Haha I was ready for the canned applause track when Adam walked in 😆
As a timbal player, I endorse this message

8-bit games didn't have "8-bit music." It was the processor that was 8-bit.

What is the alto sax setup? Mainly the mouthpiece and reed, please!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
You guys have a sax course? I like it! LOVE IT!
Love you guys..and this is awesome to see, great content - as usual. AND - That random visit and all the seemingly surprise ideas....super hokey, I guess you were so hammy, it's hilarious. More rehearsals or acting classes!! 😍😍😍🤣🤣
love all you 2 @kelly Grace @LeoP ♥
❤️❤️❤️
Samba de uma Nota Só!
Holy shit, it's Vanilla Ice!
LMAO
This was freaking epic
Me as drummer while playing a snare drum solo. “Wait you guys get notes.”
One of my favorite guitar solos is the one(-ish) note solo of King Crimson song Starless... Simply amazing for me
Huge respect to Adam Neely who made me discover Leo P, but the former explaining the latter what is a one note impro on the sax is a bit ridiculous.

Off-topic, but that jacket is amazing! Is there a place I can buy one?
As a Djentaleman I agree.
LEO P AND ADAM NEELY??? HELLO?
Best advice ever given to me was from Bob Sedergreen to just use one note, run with it, feel it and use it.
It’s just all about rhythm.That’s all
If you can't, how do you explain djent? 🤔
If you've bent the note, is it still just one note? Is that a "tree falls in the forest" type question?
“Are using two notes an octave apart still only using one note?” said those who know that there are systems other than octave equivalence.
@@ValkyRiver well, I didn't ask about octaves, I asked about bent notes. Is G half sharp the same as G? You wouldn't say G sharp is the same as G, would you?
Simce this guy made a video about this topić, every time I see a saxophone i thjnk of this idea
This is completely random but he said we need a note and out of nowhere I say C# and a second later he says it and I jumped out of my chair in surprise.
This video gave me Sesame Street vibes for some reason
😄❤🔥
Love this video but I've never heard Leo P talk before - For some reason I didn't expect for him to sound so normal lol
Maybe i thought he was British? idk i have no rational explanation for this
Theremin players got us all beat
Love that "the help" is wearing masks ahahaha
WAS KNDA LIKE SESAME STREET, SORTA AWKS AS IRL MET THE CHARACTERS
In Answer of this (Rhetorical?) Question.. .

If You Have Rythym.. ...You Have Music.!"🥁"😎
I can't believe you talked about a one note song without mentioning Tenacious D
They call that using only one note. I call that 1-tone equal temperament (or equivalently, 2-limit just intonation)
Isn't there a very old song, "Poor Johnny One Note."
Damn, couldn't hear the bass
As a drummer I can improvise with no notes.
Also, what's a note?
You call that using only one note. I call that 1-tone equal temperament (or equivalently, 2-limit just intonation)
"Thank you for coming by, it was so awsome." Translation: "Take your one note and GTF out of here. We're ready to play for real now."
On a completely different note...
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa im dreaming im dreaming im dreaming this is the best day ever!
Basically....rush E
you two are always having sax... get a room already.
Ya. Its called rap
Not strictly one note. When you bend, you're playing two or even several notes.
Her legs are really tight. Probably tried gymnastics in grades 1-4. Break it down 1 2 3❤
This is some tom morello shit
Dont need him. We’re cool with you other two.
so true
I love LeoP music, but his fashion is trash..
Waste of a good jacket, that outfit
no one is comfortable in this video
