      The build up of the whole solo till this point where he takes off is exactly how a solo should be structured. The rise to the mountain top then the jump off the cliff just to climb again and again is perfection.

    The whole thing is impressive, and I will never be able to play it entirely but it has so many lessons to absorb, like what he does in bars 150 to 154. The way he combines so many variations in such a small range of notes, it's impressive. Chromatism at its best.

    I've always kicked myself for giving up on playing my sax after I graduated from college and had to try to become an adult. After listening/watching this, I think I've been too hard on myself. Giving up on my sax was probably for the best. If I practiced for at least 2 hours every day since college, I'd still not even be close to this level of mastery.
    I've heard a lot of stuff from Chris Potter, and he's always amazing, but to see it transcribed like this just blows my mind. Granted, it's all improvised and he probably has no idea what he even played as soon as he was done, but it's impressive to look at all the same.

  • @TheCabbageMan
    @TheCabbageMan 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Can someone shed some light on what the tone fall off on the high E in bar 33, at 1:03 is called and how one might learn to articulate that? Im having so much trouble trying to imitatw scott hamiltons solos because he does this a lot and i havent figured out what to do to get the same effect.
    Also what are the little pluses above the notes and what is that effect called? These two articulation skills i have been trying to figure out for ages

    • @alexschmitz4404
      @alexschmitz4404 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Alex K The first thing is just a “fall”. You can get this effect when you play the tone and then drop down your chin slowly until the tone falls. It’s about pressure on the reed and mouth position. The second thing is called false fingering. There are charts on the internet where you can find these fingerings. To get the “false A” you have to play a D without putting your left ring finger on the G.

  • @ggauche3465
    @ggauche3465 6 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @MrGul
    @MrGul 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Impressive job, transcribing this beast of a solo! A notation question, though: How come you don't write the 6-tuplet figures (like bars 158, 227 and more) as actual 6-tuplets, but rather in 16th note triplets without any beaming to show where the beats go? As a sight-reading bass and guitar player, I definitely prefer reading 6-tuplets as I easily get lost with too many 16th note triplets in a bar (especially if they aren't beamed to show the beats). Is it perhaps different for saxophone players? Are they more used to reading non-beat-beamed triplets?

    • @julienm702
      @julienm702 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the comment. Answer is easy: I just don't know how to transform triplets into sextuplets in my software (starting with SIB and finishing with LIUS), otherwise I would have written sexptuplets; You're right it's easier to read. I also don't know how to write a 14-tuplet for example (mes 147 would have been written differently).
      Any hints someone ? that would be useful.

  • @saxypie

I listen a few dozen times and leave it and come back a few months later and each time there is something new to find.
