i think the greatest point of this whole thing is how maceo is able to mine little nuggets of gold out of very few notes by exploring rythmic variations. like he said you dont always have to play a solo up and down the entire range of the horn. great lesson
Hey Jamie, thank you so much for doing this. I love everything you do. My Sunday morning email is like being called to Prayers🙏. Jazz legend shoot outs are great to have an insight in to, but this particular lesson is so accessible to beginners and advanced players., No matter what level you are , you can get something great from this. I have a soft spot for this kind of funk with someone giving me a couple of Junior Walker albums when I first got a sax in 79. Life got in the way and after a few years, I put it away for 35 years 😔 Got back in to it a few years ago and I have made rapid progress. Now playing in a Springsteen cover band. Anyway. What I really want to say is that back in 79, there was no internet, really difficult to get sheets and books…and totally unaffordable if you were a teen. If only I had a Jamie Anderson back then…..But Jamie, this gift that is you, is accessible to every teen that dreams of being a sax player today. A lot of saxes are definitely not going back in the case thanks to you. You are without doubt the best on the net. Your enthusiasm is what makes you stand out from the rest. Music should be fun. And you rock the fun. Thanks again Jamie.
Cold Sweat! What a groove! Maceo Parker-- king of funky sax! 1967 is the year I started playing sax! -- but I didn't become aware that Maceo was James Brown's sax player, or how awesome he was/is 'til (after a 25 year break) & I learned that he was a mentor for Candy Dulfer. When I first started playing sax I was listening to: John Coltrane, Archie Shepp, Charles Lloyd, Pharoah Sanders, Ornette Coleman, Sonny Rollins, Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson, Cannonball Adderley, Eric Dolphy, Yusef Lateef, some local Detroit and Chicago sax players (like Joseph Jarmen) and the only funk saxophonist I was aware of was Junior Walker. I had an incredible vinyl collection (which someone stole in 1970.) When I re-started playing sax, the internet had come into being and everything was available! And now we even have your incredible on-line sax lessons. Thanks Jamie!
Maceo came to James Brown as a tenor player. He had to go into the army and when he returned to the band JB switch Maceo to alto and the rest is history. Definitely Definitely Definitely the creator of funk sax a true Creator🙏 PS also a must to lock in with the drummer against with choice notes with the drummer great video
JAMIE I am learning so much from you it's crazy and this is right up my alley as I grew up on Maceo Parker and James Brown. God bless you for this 1 my man.
Thanks so much for this Jamie. Your showing super skills here! Fantastic challenge for us. I'm one of the fortunate who enjoyed Maceo live with Fred Wesley and Peewee Ellis in a small venue in San Francisco. One of the ultimate pleasures of my life.
I have spent hours doing this for many years with Maceo. I have played harmonica for 46 years (was full-time player at age 20 but not now) I am not NEARLY as fast as you are though! I always have this with horn players in studio sessions, they can get their parts much faster than me. I had a swing dance, R&B, Jazz & Blues band for 10 years and worked with many horn players. We had a female vocalist to cover cool material but we could hold an audience on a 3 hour gig doing all instrumentals. I adapted a bunch of Dave Koz, David Sanborn, Maceo tunes & grooves that we could jam on in addition to Jazz Standards and then for swing course those were more arrangements.....just for lines, solos still improvised. With Maceo I do as you suggest, try to pick up on some of his licks and phrases, work to get a feel for the timing and phrasing and then HOPE, HOPE, HOPE some of it may naturally integrate and come out though my own playing, without thinking about it. Thank you for these videos, love your playing and I am on the mailing list.
@@GetYourSaxTogether I have only a couple samples posted on TH-cam but if you click on my channel the first one up is an original song called Latin Moon. My solo is not till 5 minutes and 30 seconds in since this was an outdoor concert but the guy playing sax on that had one of those nice vintage 1940s selmer (Mark V or VI?) like all of the swing people used. Keep up the good work!
Absolutely crushing it as usual Jamie! This style of playing is what made me first want to pick up a sax over 3 decades ago. It never gets old does it?
Jamie you are amazing and this was a whole lot of fun watching this video w you teaching us this funky method! Thanks for this segment and I was really glad the choices of songs you picked to dive into. :)
Whoa! love me some Maceo!! People think it's simple, but if they don't have the rhythm, then they are stumped!!! Funky Drummer was a new one for me, but there are (I think still there) a couple of videos with the full James Brown Funky Instrumentals albums to play along with on the Tube. Also, when you talked about building the solo, a great one for that is the wonderful Eddie Harris Funk Project, doing Listen Here. Love anything by him too. Bring on the 70's!! LOL
Wow excellent choices! The first two that come to mind are "Mother Popcorn" and "Soul Power". If you're talking funky sax, there's gotta be some props for "Soul Vaccination", "Oakland Stroke" and "Squib Cakes" from Lenny Picket. As the urban legend goes, James Brown originally wanted Maceo's brother, who played drums. He said no unless Maceo came with him. It's safe to assume growing up with a drummer influenced his rhythmic sound.
Thank you for that wonderful lesson, that is just what I needed today, I've probably been driving the neighbours mad with the same old stuff but that should have got them funked up with something new, much appreciated
Very good stuff, Mister Jamie Anderson. Thank you so much! Good music, nice music, cool music...Funky Music. So many syncopated rhythmic notes. Can't playing right, without dancing. Cool!
@@GetYourSaxTogether Mister Jamie Anderson, i started watching your lessons and after that sound of my sax became much more better. My solos are really cool, after your "Solo Masterclass Series"...i got a groove from that! Thanks to you! Thanks to you great videos!
Thanks so much Jamie! I really appreciate your level of expertise and commitment to post these great vids whether you're having tech issues on the production side of things or not. Cheers!
OMG!! This is the coolest lesson I've seen and it is right up my alley as far as what I love about the Sax. Is there any way you could make a short video of how you stand or what moves you make with your body when you play or solo? I'm talking about performance moves that all sax players should know (and practice). Really a video not so much about playing but how to look awesome while you are playing so people would feel like you are really getting into it. Big attitude. Think rockstar moves or classic stage moves or body positions that make you stand out as a performer. Moves that look great but don't affect the quality of your playing that much. Easy things to try. In your video with your family playing the sax you told them that "no sway = no pay" or something like that. What do you mean and how do you do that?!??
If you want to do this kind of exercise with funk blues sax recordings but at a slightly more easy level, check out most any recordings by A.C. Reed. He sings and plays sax on dozens of original funky blues tunes. His sax licks and solos sound real good but are relatively simple and easy pentatonic blues scale notes in their entirety. You can follow along, echo him and fill in using similar note - rhythm devices as he uses without much difficulty. i.e. do what Jamie did here. This is a good option for beginner-intermediate level players who may find Maceo a bit challenging at first.
Fantastic lesson Jamie, thank you. Whilst it’s awesome to learn the licks and tricks, it’s your method which makes this easy to adopt. Btw you’ve reminded me I should’ve spent much more time listening to Maceo Parker! Mesmerising stuff 👏👏
😩 I miss my saxophone’s. Can’t try the funk sound on what I have right now. 😑 But you got it going really 😎 cool Jamie. You put the spunk in the funk and the sound is all around 🎷that ain’t no jive give us a high five 🙌 ! 🤓🎷
Thank you. I've been working on Maceo solos for a while. So glad you're doing this on tenor. I love your energy and enthusiasm! One thing I'd like to hear you address more in depth is his articulation and tone. You have a natural ability to mimic. What could you suggest I do to get the clarity and the bends at the front of the notes?
Jamie, i am absolutely mesmerized by this, thanks for the lesson! Qucik question though, how do you play the song without the sax? So i would like to practice along with the song (all tunes without the sax) all whilst i am playing sax.. just like you do it at mimicing part of the video
Who knew, Maceo Anderson 😉😉. I’ve got all of Maceo’s stuff, it’s so catchy.. You need your floor strengthening, your camera was bopping up and down with you 😃😃
Hi Jamie, one more comment. At 7:46 you say he's playing like a drummer. I agree he's not playing dull strings of 8th notes like conservatory students, but what he's doing is more like a vocalist. He is mimicking what James Brown says to him before his solo. Vocalists have limited range and use few melody notes, but in a repetitive way and in funk deliver with punch. I think it's better to think of Maceo's solo as similar to a vocalist rather than a drummer.
Jamie, you once again got my blood boiling! As a side note(no pun intended) Candy Dulfer got her style from Maceo when she was 17 years old. He actually gave her lessons and she called him her uncle. Check out Dave Koz’s car interview with her.
HI GREAT VIDEO U HAVE A GREAT SOUND ON TENOR WHAT KIND OF METAL MOUTH PIECE ARE U PLAYING IF IT DOES NOT BOTHER U TO TELL ME BECAUSE Im LOOKING TO BUY A NEW METAL TENOR MOUTH PIECE AND THERE IS SO MUCH OUT THERE AND EVERYBODY IS SAYING THERE IS THE BEST METAL MOUTH PIECE AND RECENTLY I WAS VERY DISAPPIONTED BY THEO WANNA SHIVA MOUTH PIECE SORRY BUT THAT TURNED OUT TO BE A WASTE OF TIME BUYING THAT MOUTH PIECE SO EXPENSIVE AND SUCH A THIN SOUNDING MOUTH PIECE SO IM STILL LOOKING FOR METAL MOUTH PIECE ANY WAY Im BIG FAN OF YOUR TONE ON TENOR THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE AND ANSWER Im LOOKING FOR A METAL MOUTH PIECE THAT WOULD SOUND LIKE David Sanborn OR CLOSE TO IT BUT ON TENOR THANKS ALL THE BEST SUPER GREAT VIDEO MIKE
Maceo never plays the same solo line twice . Y BECAUSE there's was no way u could write that form of music according to the purest . Mr.Browns music isnt writable and I've never heard maceo play the same solo its all improv ......FEELING !!!!!! BE YOURSELF don't mimic .
What the hell does funk mean???? “ I’m in a funk , = I’m somewhat bewildered or in a type of fog.! So, this term is insipid and meaningless ! In reality it’s blues mixed with rock and jazz. I suggest they call these things by meaningful names not using a word that really means foggy as brought out in my splendid explain above . Capicho?
no rock dude, funk is not a derivative of rock, does not have a strong influence from the blues, it’s more correct to say that both rock and funk are an extension of rhythm and blues music, but unlike rock, funk is syncopated, polyrhythmic accented on the first beat of each bar music with the active use of sixteenth notes. funk is a mixture of rhythm and blues, soul, gospel, music of new orleans (second line), as well as Latin American and Afro-Cuban rhythms had a noticeable influence on funk. and generally funk is music of rhythm and dance, in which less attention is paid to melody than to rhythm, and rock and blues are more melodic and less danceable musical genres

PS - a typo sneaked in at 17.10 - James Bown!
Sweet! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great stuff
Thanks 🙏🏻
Brilliant thanks
Very welcome
Cold Sweat was written by the the great Pee Wee Ellis!!!!! RIP Pee Wee. A great read is a book entitled 98% Funky Stuff by Maceo.
I’ll have to check that out. Thanks! 🙏🏻
This is fab! Thank you.

fantastic as always Jamie. Are there any pdf's for this.
I’m afraid not mate. I didn’t transcribe the whole solo or anything on this occasion.

@@GetYourSaxTogether grateful if you could review Lionel Prevost/Torrence 'Moscow twist', 'Port Arthur shuffle' - MP and JB GOAT funk and soul
I think that while the notes are important - the emphasis in this case should be on rhythm
100% agree. It would be interesting just to play his solos on one note or even on a drum.

Maceo is not the godfather of funk sax. Dozens perhaps hundreds of black American saxophone played funk. did I mention they were all Americans?
Yeh, of course you’re right, but sometimes on TH-cam you gotta make a bold statement to stimulate interesting debate like this. 🤔

What the hell does funk mean????
“ I’m in a funk , = I’m somewhat bewildered or in a type of fog.!
So, this term is insipid and meaningless !
In reality it’s blues mixed with rock and jazz. I suggest they call these things by meaningful names not using a word that really means foggy as brought out in my splendid explain above .
Capicho?
Well, haven’t got time for some extended etymological debate here, but I think we all know what it means in context. ☺️
no rock dude, funk is not a derivative of rock, does not have a strong influence from the blues, it’s more correct to say that both rock and funk are an extension of rhythm and blues music, but unlike rock, funk is syncopated, polyrhythmic accented on the first beat of each bar music with the active use of sixteenth notes. funk is a mixture of rhythm and blues, soul, gospel, music of new orleans (second line), as well as Latin American and Afro-Cuban rhythms had a noticeable influence on funk. and generally funk is music of rhythm and dance, in which less attention is paid to melody than to rhythm, and rock and blues are more melodic and less danceable musical genres
