So cool! I play a 1932 Conn, I have an SBA in the shop now and used to play a BA. They're all great. Great video!
Hi Scott. I love your yt channel! ❤
@@davidolahmusic Hi David, Thank you!
Troy has been one of my favorite players since VOID came out. such a great player and composer. Love his style.
Troy is a master musician. Plays a bunch of different instruments at a high level. I have the good fortune to play with him with Robby Ameen’s band. We have recorded a few records together. Great to see him get some well deserved attention. You rock Jay!!
Thank you brother Bob! These words mean a lot coming from you.
Lovely to hear from Troy- what a great player and interesting to see him sound so awesome on a standard Vandoren V16 mouthpiece! Thanks Jay!
I play a 1928 con c melody: fantastic!!!
This was an interesting video as someone who purposefully bought a 1921 Conn New Wonder I over a Selmer mVI/SBA because of the sound of the horn. I used to play a Selmer too.
One of my favorite saxophonists!! His solo on Still Dangerous with James Morrison at Internationale Jazzwoche Burghausen is still giving me goosebumps! So soulful, what a sound! I need to gather my courage and transcribe it ! :D Thank you Jay! Please do a full interview in the future!!! :D
Yeah. Amazing!
Cant wait for a longer in depth interview with Mr Roberts
Thanks for snagging the quick interview, Jay. Troy Roberts is the man, looking forward to the full podcast interview someday.
Great interview! Awesome music! Beautiful instrument!
Our man from Perth. Love Troy's playing so much
Great brief interview! I have never heard of Troy. I will be adding him to my play list!
Very amazing interview. Troy seems like a very personable person and outgoing as well.
I didn't know of him but thought his accent sounds Aussie (I am also), and then his whole demeanour, and laid back approach is typical Australian , even after 10+ years in the US.
Troy Roberts is legend, amazing! His 2004 work with James Morrison's "On the Edge" album in the Burghausen's international jazz week festival is one of the key turning points as a young jazz student, now 27. "Nu-Jive" is also one of my favorite Albums ever made!
Saw him play at the Ellington jazz club in Perth years ago. I'll never forget it.
I literally just seen him at The Attucks in Norfolk, VA. Troy's a true professional.
Troy’s albums are such a joy to listen to! John Leadbetter artist sax, huh? The sound is fantastic! 🎈⭐️🌈🎶🎷
So good to watch this podcast. I went to WAAPA with Troy. He was a monster then and even more so now.
Great content Jay
Troy sounds great on all of the horns.
Awesome podcast
Man, he makes it looks so easy
Wow. Sounded like an invaluable tip on intonation.
He isn't the first person I've seen talk about practicing with the just the mouthpiece and do those exercises. I find it so funny that I would do the exact same exercise on a trumpet mouthpiece, and yet it seems to be able to work with a saxophone mouthpiece. It's so very interesting how that works.
Great interview! I use V16 too 😊 sadly not even close to his standard 😂
You should interview Seamus Blake next
I love Troy’s playing and John Leadbetter’s horns are amazing!
Is a 1951 Super Balanced Action considered a modern instrument? He says after getting used to it for about a month, he understood why people play modern horns. What am I missing?
They are basically the role model many of the modern horns are based on (this is highly generalised obviously)(especially talking about the keyword), so compared to the even older conn horns like the one he used to play, they are light years advanced. That's what he means I think
@@sorenfuhrer401 Thank you for the explanation.
Whoa, didn't know he was Australian!
Anyone got the 1971 selmer bundy alto sax I do
Didn't Troy play a student Yamaha saxophone model for nearly a decade before he switched to a Conn when he was on his way up?
This is true! I played a YTS-21 for many years, and still have it.
You shredded on that 21. I had a 23 at the time and it gave me more confident about playing it.
@@hankrawlins9159 Thank you. I love that horn, its got a vibe!
☮️🎶🎵🎷
AM WELL PLEASED
WITH THE BETTER SAX TENOR.
NOT JUST HYPE
WELL MADE
REASONABLE PRICE
So great to hear! Thank you.
I am curious , why you didn't take 10 / 15 more minutes with him
You forgot to listen.
Ambiguous. The video is almost 15 minutes ... You may mean why they didn't play and record a duet, maybe?
Old CONN is a nightmare.
The neck angle alone is prohibitive. I learned on a Pan American tenor from the early 20's. Nice sound but way outdated ergonomics. No front F key even.
Nothing is better than a modern horn.
I beg to differ but whatever works for *you*
WAIT. Is he British. lmao I just realized I've never her him speak
Edit -- never mind haha
