Hi AMMstudios.. Gary Sugal here! .. Gerald is playing on our KW II 18kt Heavy Gold Plated Pure Copper Metal Mouthpiece I personally for him a number of years ago. You can confirm this by taking a close look half way through the video you'll notice our ligature that has a recessed blue insert. Our ligatures work only on our SG and KW models..Enjoy GS
albright is in another level, i have been for many year studying him, and transcribing his solos for the alto,one thing stand up on him always,is the diction in every note he plays , no matter how fast or slow, or high or low. Every phrase have a clear punctuation, like when playing a classical music from shit of paper.(please listen to dream come true solo,i think is one of his best.
I love me a smooth jazz player whose solos aren't comprised of just playing scales up and down with a blues scale every now and then. You can definitely tell that this guy has checked out some of the older jazz cats from the swing, bebop, and hard bop eras based upon his note selection. And same for that piano player!! YESSIR! Killin stuff right here.
My only complaint with this video is that Gerald wasn't mic'd properly. I know that its a difficult duting a live performance but its a missed chance to record Gerald's music as clearly as possible. Its awesome when you can play back a track so clear that it sounds like you're there.
One of my first tapes for Sax Gerald Albright, ya he's all Right! My music is so old, it was just the next step up from from vinyl :) still works fine for listening to .
I love this my I get up and go for a walk in my state park on a bright and sunny morning with my ear bugs plugged in my ear's what a way to start my day worry and care free with the very best sound's of my favorite jazz I love it ....
Time for one of my favorite ones from Gerald - Bermuda Nights - definitely what I need listening to it rain once again the last 3 days! Beats snow:) TY so very much - Music is the oxygen that should make us all breathe better, turn sadness into a smile🎼🎤✨ 🎶 The very best
@JonovskiJ - He is using a multiphonic. I played all though college and big bands and never could do this, but for some reason this year, I can break up my high register like this. It is a multi-phonic and I create these I think by using my throat and vocal chords slightly to break the note.
@JonovskiJ I am able to do this on the alto on a few notes, and I've noticed that I lessen the pressure that my lower lip exerts on the reed just slightly and blow really, really loud.
@JonovskiJ Important note: 99% of times when you wonder about how someone does something, it most likely has nothing to do with the setup. Just a quick note my friend xD
@JonovskiJ you can hum while you're playing. i've been growling for years and that's how i do it. you can look online for in depth directions on how, but trust me. hum while you're playing. you'll get it. loud loud loud and on the upper (not altissimo so much, but certainly not lower) register.
@AMMstudios I'm pretty sure he uses a Sugal Kirk Whalum II. I have neither seen one nor heard of anyone else who uses them, but I'm pretty dang sure Gerald Albright does.
Just fyi, most guys that do like the sound they get out of a beechler or ottolink usually lower the baffle and expand the chamber. This enables them to get a really big sound, I myself, modified my dukoff. But yeah, Links tend to choke out. I used to use one for years, I could get the same type of sound but as a dukoff, but then i found myself blowinng super hard and destorying reeds. this is with good techinque and ligature and all.
Great sulful tenor playing solid rhythm section the tune has a Jazz Crusader feel to it Jeff Lorber use to rehearse with me in my house in 1971fourty yerars ago .saw him 6 years ago and said he did not know me Gemini sax
@stradivarius151 I'm almost 100% positive its not a link, its a Gary Sugal Kirk Whalum MKII, like someone here said earlier, Gerald wouldn't use a link, ever lol.
@Edwardkor98 thanks for the info =D i just started playing alto 3 weeks ago so im still figuring out the different sounds between the alto and the tenor i ment to ask tenor or alto i dont know why i put soprano in there
@rasenganpimp Just my thoughts, yours are welcome as well of course. I'm familiar with Albright's style, I just thought. I enjoy discussing stuff like this. Thanks for posting, btw
@AMMstudios @rasenganpimp I think it's a link. You could hear some parts where he tried to push it to go louder. A high baffle/small chamber (Beechler, dukoff) would have gotten louder and maybe thinner, too. The Link can't handle all that air and it almost chokes on it. My analysis, anyways.
@rasenganpimp mmm i personally knows his sounds since his 80s, hes been using beechlers on Alto, on tenor is some other story,off course he will be so smart to find a mouthpiece a mouthiece for the tenor that matches with his alto,to reduce the drastic change in the shows. i have try so many combinations with beechlers until i got the close to his sound.
Uno de mis favoritos de Gerald Albright... Ricki Lawson en los Drums... fantástico , lastima que el video tenga baja resolución para apreciar mejor la genialidad..,
Hard rubber Beechlers don't have any baffle I think, maybe the metal ones, but dukoffs certainly do! But yeah you're right, thats why a lot of people use links for straight ahead jazz and stuff. Here I think Geralds using a Sugal KWII but now he uses a Theo Wanne HR piece.
Idk if you already know this by now i see that your comment is quite old, but he uses a beechler bellite on tenor and a beechler hard rubber on alto :)

One of the best saxophonists in my opinion. He's got such an amazing sound.
wow, i love his crispness, he can play the most complex solos and still make it sound at times like he's playing from sheet music.
Lord have mercy Gerald on a tenor!!!!!! Fabulous!!!!
Love this man music, been listening to him for years
What a simple and uplifting theme! Albright at Java fest is top!
Well done. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The best music I ever listen !
Unbelievable powerful. GOOSEBUMPS everywhere!
Bad to the BONE!!!
the piano man is Jeff Lorber. Great smooth jazz pianist.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Jeff!!!!
Yeah man, Gerald's sick, he listened to a lot of Cannonball and Grover Washington when he was younger, he's got the best of both worlds!
albright is in another level, i have been for many year studying him, and transcribing his solos for the alto,one thing stand up on him always,is the diction in every note he plays , no matter how fast or slow, or high or low.

5:30 - the end is my favorite... he hits those high notes with perfection! and the keyboardist is amazing as well :)

Oh yeah there’s nuthin this man can’t play with taste and tone
Amazing
One of my favourites. I loveee this.
Nice! Love this song!
Excelente trabalho parabéns..
^ Finally, someone who realizes it's the player, not the setup!
A melhor do Gerald Albright na minha opinião!
My only complaint with this video is that Gerald wasn't mic'd properly.

Its awesome when you can play back a track so clear that it sounds like you're there.
this is my all-time favorite by Gerald! XD
The king of altisimo!
One of my first tapes for Sax Gerald Albright, ya he's all Right! My music is so old, it was just the next step up from from vinyl :) still works fine for listening to .
We love this stuff
Always Enjoy Gerald...
5:49 best altisimo ever
I love this my I get up and go for a walk in my state park on a bright and sunny morning with my ear bugs plugged in my ear's what a way to start my day worry and care free with the very best sound's of my favorite jazz I love it ....
Gerald Albright is the Real Deal. Hey, hey, hey.

Time for one of my favorite ones from Gerald - Bermuda Nights - definitely what I need listening to it rain once again the last 3 days! Beats snow:) TY so very much - Music is the oxygen that should make us all breathe better, turn sadness into a smile🎼🎤✨ 🎶 The very best

Yumm!
Really Good.....
brilliant.. what else can i say?
He's playing a Sugal here I believe. Jeff Lorbers solo just kills and yes, Gerald is awesome.
@JonovskiJ you can hum while you're playing. i've been growling for years and that's how i do it. you can look online for in depth directions on how, but trust me. hum while you're playing. you'll get it. loud loud loud and on the upper (not altissimo so much, but certainly not lower) register.

I'm now 13 and I try to play this song by ear for note,very difficult
@rasenganpimp I did a little research and I think you're right! But it says he only uses Beechler so I don't know :P
Just fyi, most guys that do like the sound they get out of a beechler or ottolink usually lower the baffle and expand the chamber.

Too bad
Who's in the band?????
Gerald is the best...........but you already knew that! : )
@stradivarius151 I'm almost 100% positive its not a link, its a Gary Sugal Kirk Whalum MKII, like someone here said earlier, Gerald wouldn't use a link, ever lol.
This cat can blow without a doubt!
@Edwardkor98 thanks for the info =D i just started playing alto 3 weeks ago so im still figuring out the different sounds between the alto and the tenor i ment to ask tenor or alto i dont know why i put soprano in there
the guy is a god !!
@rasenganpimp On his website It says he uses beechlers on all of his saxophones.
@rasenganpimp
Just my thoughts, yours are welcome as well of course. I'm familiar with Albright's style, I just thought. I enjoy discussing stuff like this.
Thanks for posting, btw
muito bom ! Very good Gerald Albright
@AMMstudios @rasenganpimp
I think it's a link. You could hear some parts where he tried to push it to go louder. A high baffle/small chamber (Beechler, dukoff) would have gotten louder and maybe thinner, too. The Link can't handle all that air and it almost chokes on it. My analysis, anyways.
@Sp4pptxsp294 his swing on super high notes is amazing
AL FIN SÉ SU NOMBRE!
cool jazz
Yeah he wouldn't use a link, he doesn't use the sugal anymore anyway, he's switched to a Theo Wanne Durga I'm pretty sure.
@Triple42 thank you!
Cool!
What is pianoman's name? I like 2:38~ his soloing!
eva kim Jeff lorber
@@noemorinjr5212 Thats right! True Philly native
Super Harmonics Top
Does anyone know what mouthpiece he's usin?
@ermishes He's definitely amazing on alto but he's still great on tenor... and I just love this song!!!
como toca el saxo que grande!!!!
@rasenganpimp mmm i personally knows his sounds since his 80s, hes been using beechlers on Alto, on tenor is some other story,off course he will be so smart to find a mouthpiece a mouthiece for the tenor that matches with his alto,to reduce the drastic change in the shows. i have try so many combinations with beechlers until i got the close to his sound.
kenny g you have been owned
Uno de mis favoritos de Gerald Albright... Ricki Lawson en los Drums... fantástico , lastima que el video tenga baja resolución para apreciar mejor la genialidad..,
I have the alto version of that sax
Hi Brian
Hey Brian
ur so cool
Damian Castillo
Incrível!
Hard rubber Beechlers don't have any baffle I think, maybe the metal ones, but dukoffs certainly do! But yeah you're right, thats why a lot of people use links for straight ahead jazz and stuff. Here I think Geralds using a Sugal KWII but now he uses a Theo Wanne HR piece.
@rasenganpimp seems like a Lawton BB mpc, same as james carter
is he playing al alto or a soprano sax??
It´s kind of easy to figure out the notes by ear, when one is used to dealing with standard/basic jazz progressions...
what album is this song from
@rasenganpimp my favorite song for him is Dream come true, i personally think is his best solo, ask any profesional sax player to follow that solo.
EAR TRAINING FTW!!! That's the only way to get better at music. Transcriptions.
We all suck at Sax cuz God gave all the talent to Gerald...
to me he sounds a lot like Junior Walker...U can tell he listened to him..would love to hear him do "What does It take"
toca muito
just checked out this song title HAHAHA
that's a lawton, for anyone who wonders what mouthpiece that is
rasenganpimp is right, he uses a sugal tenor piece and a beechler HR alto piece, both with baffles. He never uses anything without a baffle.
Ricky Lawson on Drums....🙏🏻
Guys i believe that he is using a Gary Sugal KW 2
Setup ?
Idk if you already know this by now i see that your comment is quite old, but he uses a beechler bellite on tenor and a beechler hard rubber on alto :)
any one know the guitarist's name? That kind of funk can't be taught.
smokin
Ricky......🙏
a mi me suena a dave guardala king ???
anyone got sheets for this, i will give lot in trade :))
Casanova only wishes he was this smooth.
