- visit bit.ly/bettertrax for this backing track and many others
Jay Metcalf from @bettersax plays the Joe Zawinul classic Mercy, Mercy, Mercy on alto sax accompanied by our backing track from Groove and Soul Standards Volume 1.
Jay is playing the BetterSax alto saxophone geni.us/BKIGTw and BetterSax Burnin' mouthpiece geni.us/jH3yKz
Great job. Could've used a little more stank face though for flavor
I think Jay is working on that stank face video
Jay is politely on "Fire"!
Don't you admire his smooth, constructive Improvisation along with and during the movements of the chords?
I "madly" do. In fact, as an intermediate Organic Jazzman, I am endeavoring to get there, beginning especially with simple Blues.
Thanks, Jay.
Always the best sounding player on TH-cam.
Thanks so much!
@@bettertrax5640 , you deserve respect, Jay.
Jay, one of the best things about Better Trax is that we get to hear you play more and more. I can listen to you for hours :-). One of the best things is that as you said, you are not competing with anyone struggling to get as many per minute as possible. You take the pauses so much need in order to enjoy and digest the notes you have just played.
Dude, your playing is so kool,pleez just keep doing what your doing 😃.
Yes yes yes!!! Amazing!!!
Smooth Jay!
Nicely done, Jay!
Thanks Steve
Very nice playing 👍👍👍🙌
Outstanding
I WISH I COULD SEE EXACTLY WHAT NOTES HE PLAYS IN THE SOLO DAMNNNN
You are now my favorite sax player, Jay ... Your style just inspires me to practice more and more ...
Thanks!
I really cannot comprehend why this would get a couple of thumbs down responses. Is it me, or do some people go out of their way to be obnoxious trolls?
Always a pleasure yo hear you!. What is your setup for this one?, sax, mouthpiece and ligature from better Sax?
BURNIN alto mouthpiece on the BetterSax alto. Lig is versa x from rovner
YES, I literally stopped watching a video just to watch this
Great tone!
Question Jay, does the creation of the better sax mouthpiece have any inspiration? If so what mouthpiece inspired you to make the better sax mouthpiece?
Interesting question. I actually designed that based on a sound concept i was looking for and a combination of the elements of some of my favorite mouthpieces. The result is remarkably better than I could have expected or asked for.
@@bettertrax5640 I can tell, it sounds great!! It definitely has a lot of potential as a versatile mouthpiece!! Props to you, this is truly one of your greatest feats!!
Great and plenty of harmonics sound.Very enjoyable.
Nice
Where to find this mouthpiece? Nice sound!
It will be released very soon. Keep an eye on BetterSax.com
espectacular pero pregunto hasta cuando las mismas canciones? el jazz es el genero musical que mas se quedo en el tiempo y creo que por culpa de los mismos musicos que no pueden salir de las 100 canciones que vienen tocando de 1950 hasta el dia de hoy, Branford Marsalis dice que el jazz esta muerto y creo que tiene mucha razon...
Hello Jay, I´d like to say that I love the taste you have to do your solos, mixing techniques and phrases in a measured and subtle way. Thank you to share this kind of videos, they help us to have a awsome base to follow, big hug!!!
thank you!
Great alto tone, soulful for sure!
Lovely Macio Parker going on there. Thank you
You got the sound that I am shooting for!!
Wow! I hope to play like this someday! Thanks Jay
Consider if you will, one Jay Metcalf, who transforms a simple, repetitive song into something from another realm...that magical place called the twilight zone.
Such a great player! Amazing performance!!!!!! ( As always )
Very cool low-key Mercy^3!! So used to hearing the chorus with gospel energy and volume. Nice change of pace.
Your licks and phrases is your signature ... nice ....
sick!
Nice job!
You're so good, I really want to win the mouthpiece!
When will you be saying the winners for the mouthpiece?
I’ll be announcing that on Friday at 10am ET live on TH-cam
I was waiting for this one!! Awesome!
why u look at me while playing ?
Jay I will like to know what u are thinking when u are improvising.very very good with that mercy mercy.i am trying hard to reach that level.go on jay keep on bringing it .great jay,just great.💯💯❤️🎼🎶🙏🏽🙏🏽
Trying to think melodically, rhythmically and not play too much.
Yeah Jay!! Super what you have accomplished with your own horn and mouthpiece and playing great!
Really inspirational!
Thank you brother Bob!
Such a joy to hear. Each note special
Cant wait to get my Better alto Sax
I’ve never much liked that song until now.
damn really? have you heard the original by cannonball’s group with Joe Zawinul?
Make it stank!
An incredible sax player, and he does it so effortlessly....a real pro.
Wow this so cool ! Love playing along with you and, slowing it down and working out what you are doing in the phrasing ! Love the way you build the tension and release! I am a better listener since doing your courses.
