    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    • @bettertrax5640
      @bettertrax5640  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    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...
