@randalclarkmusic4333 Nice nuances / manipulations of tones on all 4 of these pieces (you sound great on all of them of course !)…. it’s fun to hear you on the Gaia HR for more toward a Meyer/“classic”/small ensemble jazz aesthetic (which I still love)… but for my for my taste, I prefer the extra breadth of the highs, while retaining the full body of the mids and lows, on the metal Durga. Thank you for your artistry and inspiration. hug 🫂 from the road Dr D
Durga HR 7 i bought after this video, nearest Sanborn sounding MP specially if use to playing HR mouthpieces Can't wait until I get my hands on it However trying a plastic reed is going to be a challenge Can you get same sound from a normal reed ? Did you try if so what brand and strength ? Thank in advance 🙏
Hey brother do you think the Durga can be an all around piece. Can you do straight ahead without sounding too aversive and bright? I know for contemporary is great but I don’t know if it would pass as a straight ahead jazz piece without causing stress. Hahahaha
I would think generally not. It does depend a little little bit on the particular player. For example, I can sound fairly passable on it for straight ahead, but it doesn’t really want to sit in that genre, so I’d be thinking too much about it all the time. The Gaia or the new Brahma. Would fit into that genre much more easily. The Jody Jazz DV is a much more versatile mouthpiece that can sort of spread out into those adjacent areas much better
Hi Randal, Out of those Metal Durga 7 sounded best to me, but still Beechler kills all of them ;) Regards
@@PYCMUSICSAX I agree. Although the HR Durga is a freakin blast to play.

@@Dr.RolyndDellaSylvan thanks. The Gaia felt very traditional, I was actually surprised how much pop it had on playback. But ya, the Durga has a vibe.

Nelson Rangell plays a Durga hr too. I’m playing a 2.5 legere American on this video. Vandoren red Java 2.5 or Rico jazz select 2H works well too.
Thank you for that subbed longtime ago 🙏
very good pieces, but the beechler continues to reign, there is no doubt about it. I would like to hear the arb being played by you.
