Classical training is a foundation. It gives you skills that translates over to other genres. It gives you skills to execute the little things that differentiate genres.
I like them both. Though I hardly listen to much classical. Branford Marsalis did a great classical album on soprano years ago.
Great recommendations of modern artists - I've found that a few primary jazz players don't seem to realize that classical saxophone has evolved past Marcel Mule and Sigurd Rascher. Conversely, maybe I should look at solos more modern than the Omnibook once in a while... haha
reach out to youtube videos on classical and jazz
Oh my god -- a commentary on a touchy subject, that even starts out by announcing it's going to be controversial... and then goes on to make total sense!
Lots of good observations and advice -- and I agree with the earlier commenter who praised your recommendations of players to check out. I also love your subtle point that one can learn from listening to (or playing) music one _doesn't_ like; I've often said that you can learn something from every player, even if it's how *not* to do something!
(Incidentally, I've been lucky enough to meet both Kenny Garrett and Chris Potter. They were both totally cool.)
Really appreciate your approach, man. Purchased your book bundle last week and I'm having a blast!!! Peace!
Thanks for the support!!
i cannot tell you how many times i played along with the 2nd movement of Tchaikovsky's 5th symphony completely by ear just so that i could add that kind of melodic phrasing and counterpoint to my jazz composition and improvisation. i posit that jazz is not it's own kind of music, but an amalgam of all the different music that jazz musicians listen to and learn.
jazz tends to be very big idiom .but there is a root that comes from blues and other influences. that being said the concept of jazz is always expanding by its nature.
Humans obsess over labels and categories only for them to become obsolete or inaccurate or reductive the more time passes.
I honestly sometimes am surprised when i hear saxophonists who have played for the same years as me, start talking about mouthpieces etc. i get it, but I myself have a lot of other work and am not even halfway where i want to get to lol.
also random note - I have been playing with the same 5 reeds (cycling through them) since October 2018. I'd say they play slightly better now, but my memory might be foggy.
Who is the clasical sax player in the end of the video?
Don Sinta!
