This young man has quickly risen to be possibly the best jazz tenor sax player alive today. He manifest all of the technical facility of the modern greats (Brecker, Potter, etc.). He has a nice, robust tenor sound. He can play with great harmonic complexity. He can rip from the bottom to the top of the horn and back. He can burn at high speeds. But he can also swing, bebop, and play the blues. He can even call on a bit of Lester and Webster. I'm most impressed by his commitment to actually speaking the jazz/swing language and not making every solo some complex, indiscernible mash up of patterns that only a jazz elite can appreciate. Although he can kill you with some pentatonic shifting and inside-out melodic cell lines. Did I mention that he's also effective at teaching these concepts to young improvisers? Amazing.
Chad, I just wanted to say that, after five years of barely touching my saxophone at all, your videos - and your music in general - have inspired me to get back into playing. I'm rusty as hell, but I'm practicing as much as I can each week. (Much of it spent on your approach note etudes and ii-V-I exercises.) Thanks for all you do. It's helped me return to something that has always given me a lot of joy.
Its interesting to consider what the state of jazz will look like after another 10 or 20 years...this guy has inspired and shared so much with so many players....who otherwise may have gone in other directions...what an incredible spirit.
I use the same technique at the start of the Social Studies classes I teach to get the kids quiet. Great sounds! Thanks for being one of the sax players throwing out content and stoking my passion for getting better on the saxophone.
Nice lesson and which demonstrates that a jazz musician can catch and retain the attention of a full audience without playing SO many notes, SO loud, and for SO long. Most horn players in NYC should watch this and try to learn how to develop enough confidence in their actual speech, and in a way that doesn't necessarily require their ego to be the main driving element when it comes to creating the momentum. Go Chad!
Great performance A1! Melody - many players forget this. Wonderful, clean technique. I 'discovered' him on Jay Metcalf's channel, never heard of him. Thanks Jay.
Going through the comments I found this: th-cam.com/video/QpCejyl6ln0/w-d-xo.html Here is the full video, not cut. Thank you to JUAN IGNACIO who posted this link when responding to a comment from ALON SHUSTERMAN.
lol you left them hanging on C# taking just the last A you sneeky little saxophone player. The piano player looked at the bassist "that's cool but how do we get down from this tree?"
Lol maybe a a little unspected and evil turn, but if he does not have enough chops and courage to stand his ground tolerably improvising over The Sunny Side Of The Street in C sharp, then go back to the woodshed. Sure he did nice, too bad the footage is trimmed ( or may thanks God? lol)
that's fun adventurous and dangerous. that's all i want from life. very nice thing to do every now and then, and it was done with a nice continous melodical idea. that been said, i wouldn't have fun following that on C#, I would use a chorus to modulate to D and then have fun with that, because i'm a sneaky not that great of a saxophone player. I have no idea what i'm commenting about.
It's rare to see a tenor player double on tenor. Seriously, Whadadeal? Did you have two identical horns so you could swap mouthpieces? I'm not being critical, just genuinely curious.
Damn it, I'm still too busy spending my time with less enjoyable things. Where are the guys who have transcribed this already and can send me a link to it!

Love the title haha, definitely pulled me in. Great performance - it would have silenced me too, other than my occasional outbursts of “WHOAAAA!!!”
Hi saxologic
ah yes the Justin Y. of saxophone videos
Love when I see your comments in a youtube video, makes me think you are human too..... hahah
I love reading your comment and hearing 0:59
How’s Reginald 3.0?

Anthony Burrell did a master class with him in St. Louis.... true to himself and the music! 😃
Agree completely. AMAZING! Thanks!
100% agreed
Brecker took what Coltrane did and continued his legacy, reaching new heights. Chad is in the process of doing the same with Sonny Rollins
@@adomaskuzinas2137 I agree. You hear a strong Rollins influence in Chad.
Chad’s sound is simply incredible
Thank you Charlie Parker, very cool.
It was like what Sonny Rollins would do to that tune. Explode it 10 different ways.
Here he sounds rather nice but often when he blows the tone is too nasal and rubber bandy for my taste
un sorcier !!!
A household name in the making. Absolutely killer solo!
Both sides of the street are now sunny! Awesome!

That alone is a couple year’s worth of study.
the ~key change~ omg
dude amazing storytelling/buildup, incredible performance
Stunning solo. It was all there.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔥
Better Sax wow Jay is here
@@charlieparker4928 wow charlie parker is here
@@charlieparker4928 wow charlie parker is here
One of the most talented players I’ve ever heard period. insane player
omg guys the reall Kevin Durant whatches watchs chadlb this is a reddit moment 😏
KD plays basketball in Brooklyn; CLB plays Sax in Queens...kissin’ cousins!
That smooth little rip up at 2:25 hits me just the right way every time. Time to learn it!
Awesome I was there but I was quiet A night to be remembered
I think that I am formally addicted to this video. I am playing it over and over again...
Its interesting to consider what the state of jazz will look like after another 10 or 20 years...this guy has inspired and shared so much with so many players....who otherwise may have gone in other directions...what an incredible spirit.
when he says ''double time '' , damn sacred moment right there!!!
Amazing how easily he and his band can seamlessly switch tempo and key on the fly
“Reverse fall” at 2:28. Damn! It bubbled up.
Chad, Bob Reynolds, and Jay Metcalf are my internet sax gurus.........these are the guys that make me thankful for TH-cam!
I was there when you played in Brazil, thanks for coming!!!
Thiago Olive ..when was that..thanks
OMG, what an overflowing sensitivity
I love the aloofness at the end. Like "yup this is what I do all the time"
Always killin
Damn that double time got me
can’t wait until the world can return to this
Such a good reminder about laying back
The drums and piano hitting that beat 4 at 4:40 was so hip. It felt like time just stopped for that moment.
Wow! Quite a performance, on top of a great player he is also a great teacher. Bravo Chad.
Some very Sonny Rollins energy here, great crowd moving performance! Love hearing that "in the zone" feel.
Arnet cobb all over it
This brought a tear of joy to my eye and made me feel good just to be alive. Thank you!
I use the same technique at the start of the Social Studies classes I teach to get the kids quiet.
Great sounds! Thanks for being one of the sax players throwing out content and stoking my passion for getting better on the saxophone.
That was great, LB. Hawk, Prez', Dex and boys would be smiling :)
Totally happening! I'm a new fan.
Couldn't get any sweeter if you were sat in Wonka's chocolate factory.
1:08 when I yell at people and tell them it’s my turn to talk uninterrupted.
Worth transcribing!!!!! Right on Chad!!!!!!
Yeaaaaah. This sound so groooove 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is one of the most impressive things you've posted yet, my guy. The way you command the bandstand is really inspiring
i cant comment . this guy is incredible . the best out there today for sure .. bobby g.
Great blowing on a tune that has made a comeback on the jamming scene. Made me think of Arnette Cobb's version with Hamp.
You know what maybe I do want to go to Brazil
Wow! Crazy.
One of my favorite solos of yours
"aaaaaa" -me, after nearly every line
Dude same 😂😂
Was just rewatching this recently, love it!
Great band, Chad! I'm going to have to check out more of Felipe's stuff. And you are burning as always!
On point drummer!
dude you got some serious chops. immaculate comping and communication between you and the band as well, this is some great music 👏
Great performance! Reminds me of 1993 version of Joshua Redman but this live performance is way more emotional, energizing and breathtaking.
Future legend!
I wasn't sure when I signed up for your Jazz Text Lesson, but I am now, "you're the REAL DEAL!"
Hi from Brasil,
Nice
This is amazing!
Amazing as always
Great solo
Meu Deus!!!
As Brandford and Wynton Marsalis would put it, "He's a bad muthaf#!ka" :)
What an incredible sound!
Superhuman stuff dude! Such a nice guy too!
brilliant Chad
🔥 🔥 🔥!
A masterpiece
That's one of the most insane things I've heard
The greatest modern tenor sound today
I beg to differ
so swingin

Great performance A1! Melody - many players forget this. Wonderful, clean technique.
I 'discovered' him on Jay Metcalf's channel, never heard of him. Thanks Jay.
I think immensive amounts of shushes silenced the crowd.Such a great performance though
What tune is this? I heard of this one and I love this, never really got to figure the name. Great playing!
sunny side of the street
Hanson Goldwin thank you :)
Samuel Hall '22 listening to it rn hehe
@Samuel Hall '22 don't you be forgetting the unforgettable Mr Sonny Stitt
This is absolutely great man! Would you be able to do a video dedicated toward improving tone? Yours is quite beautiful!
Long tones and relaxed as much as possible!!

holy shit
You go to Brazil now

What a Chad
You seem humble
He’s extremely friendly and humble
play it again
Damn.
Brutal
I've definitely seen this set before is it on some other channel or something?
Yeah, I've seen it a couple of months ago on another channel as well. But who cares, sounds just as amazing on this one :)
3:33 🔥
That one quote
SILENCES
🔥🔥🔥
wow...... I meant .....WOW!!!
Wow, the New Sax Colossus is here
double time reminded me of pete fountain a bit
Dang when it went double time, that was tasty

Nathan Addison it says that he’s sitting in, so the other tenor probably belongs to the guy on the gig...
Chad has a Lupifaro and a MK6...maybe both are his?
0:59 Saxologic can play that lick too😆
You’re killin!!
When was this videod?
this man is a god tier troll
Bloody fantastic work, but the self Agrandising video title is a bit of a turn off?
...so when you come to the land down under (Australia) the venue is called Bennett Lane.... Don't be a stranger
