    Beautiful voice leadings. Thanks for not trying to play a million notes but instead simply telling a melodic story.

    Jay’s beautiful tone and phrasing on display here...in my own little world here it would just be nice to sit and talk sax and life.

      Pro tip: watch movies at flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.

    Yes, I was thinking of such a mouthpiece. Perhaps it will suit me! I really want to hear version 5. I'm one of those people who doesn't like big opening and loud sound, I play in small rooms. It is possible to open 6, but 7 think a lot.

  • @jamesshorten9981
    @jamesshorten9981 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Love that sound. I just ordered that exact mouthpiece. Gonna use a Boston Sax Shop #3 and JJ Power ring lig with it. Maybe it will make me put my 20 year old Beechler 7 into retirement.

    This is awesome could you maybe transcribe it so I can learn it and others? If not it’s fine because you are really busy but if you could that would be great!

    You sound so great on this! I'm starting to think about getting a darker mouthpiece, but I can't decide between this or the 10mfan alto madness like Dave Pollack.

    Sounds awesome. How much digital effect is in the recording or are you completely “pure”.

    • @bettertrax5640
      @bettertrax5640  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I put more reverb on this than I normally do since it's a ballad and that fits the style. Other than that there is a bit of EQ and very light compression.

    Seems this timbre/color is uniform in all its range for this song. For Mercy Mercy Mercyn it seemed the timbre/color changed from dark in the low range to bright in the high range. I couldn't tell if that was intentional or just happened in association with the faster pace of Mercy Mercy Mercy.
