The Balvenie’s longstanding alliance with craft is a result of the distillery’s dedication to the five rare crafts of whisky making, which allow them to achieve their distinctive taste and exceptional quality. The Balvenie still grows its own barley, still malts in its own floor maltings, employs a team of coopers to tend its casks, a coppersmith to maintain its stills, and has in its service the most experienced Malt Master in Scotland.
6:33 - "It's not magic, it's Science!"
YES! :-)
Just for this series, I'm going to buy a bottle
Best comment , if you read this salute 🫡
World, please, don't ever let jazz die.
danielalexan80 Saxophone isn't just a jazz instrument, you can do anything with it.
I know that, but IMO especially beautiful when playing jazz/ blues.
+danielalexan80 seriously doubt jazz will die....
+Max Abraham not ANYthing. but jazz is what it's for
if you came to Jakarta, Indonesia, and visit some of jazz festival here, then you'll realized that jazz too far from die, average age of jazz listener here is about 18-26 and keep growing.
Visits a knife master:
Here's a knife for you! : )
Visits a Shoes master:
Here is a pair of boots for you! : )
Visits a Luthier:
Thanks for dropping by! : )
That was absolutely amazing! I love Bourdain. There was something a little more special to me about this than the Luthier episode, and I'm a guitar player.
What I love about this series is that they don't say what the hand crafted item is in the title. Just the artists name. I love that for so many reasons.
Most excellent. I lived in NOLA and always passed by Steve Goodson's home and when I saw it here - wow - awesome and then to see other parts of my old hometown...
+Maeve Kent where is that purple house? I would love to see his showroom
Anthony Bourdain knew quality when he saw it (or in this case, heard it). R.I.P.
Miss New Orleans. Thanks for the wonderful short! Great to see men who are dedicated to quality, to craft, and all that makes a life one worth living!
This is a cool show! New Orleans is my home town. Born in Charity Hospital 1942.Great program.
Tony.. Thank you for making me happy.
I bought a saxophone once and was learning to play it. I was returning from a lesson and went into a 7/11 store and thought my saxophone would be safe in it's case in the back seat of my car, as I was only going in for a minute. When I returned to the car, someone had broken a side window and had left another saxophone in the back seat.
LOL..can't make that shit up!! Thanks for sharing
Are you sure it wasn’t a clarinet?
These are excellent videos
thanks for this awesome piece!
Steve you come a long way brother.
My favorite video on the internet right now
As a Sax Player, I've always said that I'd give my soul for one of his sax's.. omg.. such beauty.. such awesomeness mr bourdain :3
atta boy Tony! keep bringing the realness.
The only problem with these episodes is that they're simply not long enough to fill this void he left behind.
Way to go , Steve.
Damn, that's some good jazz.
wow, just wow
RIP Anthony Bourdaine
the gateway from the soul..
This show is like a mixture of whiskey advertisement and a therapy for your midlife crisis.
Steve Goodson should establish a 'Black Arts' apprentice school where he would serve as both teacher, and head master.
It's just attention to detail personal involvement, materials quality and good finishing that makes the difference we can hear. Never expected this.
It's more than just science.
May be you could call it Yoga (pronounced Yog), but black arts could mean nobody else could grasp this exclusive knowledge/art !
It’s good. Indeed
The man knows his worth. Good for him for sticking to his guns on that.
Why the hell did he have to kill himself 😩 I miss this man so much. I wish he knew how much of an impact he had on our lives! I wish we knew, I wish we knew how he felt inside. I miss you ridiculously Tony
He sounds like John Goodman
Great video. What is the name of the song they are singing at the very end? Ive searched for The Glen David Andrews Band but cant find that particular song.
I generally hate advertising, but if one has to do it, this is the correct way
his glasses are on top
What jacket is Tony wearing in this video?
Took a close look at his shirt and realized I have the same one in my closet.
Trivial to be sure... but...shirt matches the upholstery.
Spinal tap reference anyone? @4:50
What is the theme song to this show? I want to know that song so bad.......
What is that blues tune the band's playing at the end?!! I need to hear more of it! Thx
+bill wolf
I'm not sure, but I think the trombonist is Glen David Andrews.
Big Fat Woman
Steve’s saxophones are made in Taiwan. They do make great horns. Some of the best.
I've heard little positive about this guy; essentially that he uses a Taiwanese sax with his choice of pads and mouthpiece.
This is not to be confused with the true hand-made saxophones like those from Inderbinen.
Eric from Cincinnati You're full of shit. The horns are manufactured to his specifications, not some generic design as you are implying. The Taiwanese are producing some very high quality horns. There's nothing more overrated than "European craftsmanship." You can pay a lot for a fancy hand made Euro horn and still get crap build quality.
+Eric from Cincinnati If you don't really have any information about what he does, then don't post gossipy crap. While Steve can certainly be more than a little abrasive at times his horns, and the science/craft that go into them, the quality of his horns are not up for speculation. The quality of what comes out of Steve's shop is first rate.
+Brad Keller fair. thanks for the reply.
***** Shocking, since every Selmer is personally handcrafted by Jerome Selmer himself (sarcasm).
really? You're absolutely sure about that?
I would love to know if the price varies based on the kind of sax, is the bari more expensive than the tenor or the alto?
Price varies by brand, model, size, material, finish, grade, vintage, serial # ... you name it.
He should have a team of geekie apprentices. Don't let the craft die!
We lost a true legend
Mitch sent me here.
That's a nice tenner saxophone.
Bet they finished that bottle
This dude just sounds like a saxophone
didn't know Mario Batalli had a brother in the Sax industry hahaha
YOU HAD ONE JOB TONY!
2:27 - Human skin is whaaaa???
Not a fan of Steve Goodson, and would never pay $15k for a saxophone. I don't know any other sax players that have $15k to shell out for a "Category 5". Also, I've never seen a widely, publicly known sax player even demo one of these horns. When Chris Potter/Ernie Watts/Dave Liebman/Joe Lovano/etc demos one of these horns and there's an unaltered clip on YT, then perhaps I'll revisit the topic of Mr. Goodson.
Agreed
I bet Mr. Goodson can't wait to get the approval of the world renowned Alan Burton. You know you've made it when Alan gives you his life changing thumbs up.
@@johnnovicky2922Alan is right, steve goodson is a conman
A man looking for something; it wasn’t here.
For such a person as Anthony portrays himself I would imagine he knows what a "mouthpiece" is.
As soon as I heard this guy explaining the benefits of kangaroo leather, I knew he was the real fucking deal.
kangaroo leather is pure marketing, steve goodson is a liar
15k is not expensive at all
why steve goodson? bunch of more suitable guys...if you can find dave guardala...that will be pretty good fun
meh. third episode I've watched in this series. maybe some people care about adoration of the person; I'd rather geek out on the details of why they do what, of which there is very little so far.
Sheldon Drake Yeah I am with you. Its a nice little set of episodes, but I feel it is just giving a minute taste of the true story. I think they could of expanded these into a really interesting series.
(at episode 6, and I feel the same). The work is so rarefied that it's hard to be inspired to either attempt it yourself or dream of being able to afford it. They're museum pieces or rich man's toys. The series could inspire regular people to build or support mortal craftspeople.
i have a Selmer MarkV for sale, anybody interested?
no offence Tony...you and this guy shot up together, and got high.
at 4:25 his fingers arnt matching his playing at all this is fake
You know nothing about music. shhhh
Naw, it’s real.
Simpthesavage have you even played a saxophone...?
I'm going to say you have not .! I played an
Alto saxophone ....I know how it works
The notes of the music are coming from the read in the mouth piece you use your tongue on the read to make the notes sharper sounding that sound can be changed by the valves that you open and close.
This is why you wet the read before playing by putting it on your tongue
Obviously they are going to dub over him playing. He was probably just playing long tones with a convincing face.
I wish these artisans could make a living but u know it’s productivity over availability? To many humans to say, hey build me a 50k dollar guitar, or 🎷 sax...heck most new guitar players will never play a Les Paul or an SG, or any High priced guitars...I love seeing these master craftsman but they are like elephants and whales and polar bears...days are limited...sorry dudes. Poor Anthony tried his whole life to be just “Cool” and he couldn’t do it...and that’s ok...just be Anthony and now u can’t be that!
I wish for you failure and long term suffering.
No one will remember your name.
They will remember his.
The product placement in these videos is really obnoxious!
Someone's gotta pay for the camera and the editing and the transportation costs. Also, I'd rate this pretty damn low on the obnoxious scale tbh.
Anthony Bordain is dumb.
+Superjainsavestheday I'll take the bait. You're a moron!
Anthony Bourdain is the worst interviewer!
Cameron Weber I think it's intended to be more of a conversation than an interview.
Cameron, You are a terrible viewer!
