    8:46 my jazz director always refers to ghost tounging as "doodle tounging" and often uses Clark Terry as a reference as he uses doodle tounging in his scatting, similar to what Jerry Bergonzi was referring to

    • @Saxologic
      @Saxologic  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      RipSnip Interesting! I think I avoided saying that because doodle tonguing is the same name as another tonguing method (an alternative to double tonguing where you tongue the reed going up AND down).

    I loved your video and was inspired by it. I'm 54 and played in marching band so many years ago (until 1983). What I love is jazz and that sound. We were never taught to the level you are playing. I didn't even know it existed at the time, although my improvisation skills were pretty good and I touched on some of the concepts you are explaining here. I'm getting old and having CNS problems that impede my playing but you are still an inspiration. I love it when you go cooler and cooler until you just yell. That is so awesome. Keep it up Man. I have subscribed and plan to go back through your other videos. I love the saxophone so much! I love you for wanting to share with the world!

    Excellent video! It's nice to see this information presented concisely, and you provided and good explanation for ghost tonguing. Articulation is a level of the transcribing process that seems sadly lacking among younger players. I've seen many a saxophone student beating their heads against the wall trying to figure this stuff out even though it's right there in their ears.

If you see this, it would be so helpfull if you could do the same kind of video for harmonics. Go sleep now !

    In the vernacular of today---THIS IS WAY COOL!
    I just stumbled on this video as a result of looking up videos of my homecity of Jackson, Miss. Which led me naturally to Mississippi in general and the Delta region spcifically. From there I was led to Blues, then Jazz, and now Bebop. Next stop---The Cool Era. It's astounding the artistic production and techniques of the minds of Black folks brought over as slaves.
    Little did an ignorant Thomas Jefferson know about the nature and potentiality latent within ALL humans no matter their skin color. It was Jefferson who foolishly asserted among other absurdities that Black people lacked the ability for music, poetry and literature, mathematics, etc. Fields in which many Black men(e.g., Dr. James Gates[Theoretical Physics]) and women[e.g., "Hidden Figures", a film about Black women who helped write down the mathematical foundations for defining the trajectory for the first Moon Shot by NASA] ) excelled in.
