my mans is going rocking chair mode
Hahahahaha
Lmao
I laughed way too hard at this comment
Would have laughed harder If you didn't have to say my man's like all the rest of the 20 year olds.
My guitar professor always said, "there are a certain type of player that can play those super fast technical lines, we call those people saxophonists"
Guitarists can too, tho
owem it’s a joke
😆 🤣 😂 😹
Or Wes Montgomery, Kenny Burrell.
I think trumpetist are faster
Damn, so good from both of you. When your student plays, I’m like “Well shit, how is Dave going to top that?” Then you play and show us the teacher you are. Even though I know that’s not what these are videos about, you never fail to impress me man.
Wow, thanks so much - I really appreciate that. We were both just letting go on this one - sometimes the emotion just has to be the main focus! Once again thanks for that!
Also, I can't be letting some 17 year old punk show me up!! Hahahah
Peeph Oh no, I’ve been caught 😩
S A X O L O G I C

Peeph lmao
A talented student + a talented teacher = this video.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate that.
John Gibson, It’s not talent, it’s pure passion and hard work.
@@ThinkCreativeIy How about: it's pure passion, hard work, and talent?
@@JohnPaulWilliam thats about right
John Gibson talent wont get you to that level of playing , only hard work and passion
First 3 mins of hearing this.
Me: goes back into the practice room for 4 hours.
We need more videos to influence us to practice and push us more. ✊🏽
Agreed
well said!
This kid needs some gigs. Absolutely killer playing
the fact that he's the same age as me crushes my soul bc he is 1000x better than me and I'm going into jazz performance),:
Just keep working hard! Everyone is at different stages - don’t worry about comparing yourself
Same here
dude i didnt even know that tunes had a form one year ago. Playing at jams everyday at highschool and at club jams you'll be surprised how much you can learn. Of course practice for hours at home, but playing with others is critical too!
you are fine. just get a good mentor.
Don't feel bad. I'm like 3x's his age and he's doing circles around me...smh 🤦🏽
Dave looks like he's in a different world when Simon is soloing!
The magical realm of music
Impressions is a fun tune to jam on. Whatever you're playing is gonna sound interesting when that half step raise comes around.
I find it interesting because the modulation originally isn't a half step (Its 3 half steps [minor 3rd] apart from D to F). The Real Book kinda botched it but it's still so good regardless and kinda brings a whole new flow into it.
Wow.. I am so inspired right now. I was actually randomly browsing beginner alt sax tutorials because after years of listening to saxophone players (I play guitar myself, decent grasp on intermediate theory) it hit me: I should perhaps just pick up a damn sax and start taking lessons! It just speaks to me so much, and this video tipped me over the edge! The way it resembles a voice, the almost spiritual energy (Coltrane influences heh), just the amount of creativity there is in coloring these notes and runs, ugh.
I am not sure how attainable the level of play that young man is showing here is in my life, but I am sure as hell going to damn try!
7:36 the classic careless whisper line
Dave your ability to navigate and stay in the changes is really really good.
Thanks so much!
I'm going to be as good as that student one-day. Oh man it's killing me. I know I can get there. It wants to come out damn it! IT WANTS TO COME OUT!!!
Keep working hard!! That’s what Simon did- you can do it!
The music is incredible, but being able to see the reactions of the master teacher and his star pupil is priceless. They, at this moment in time, are spiritual soul mates, locked in a rare groove, that doesn't happen everyday. What a nice experience for us listeners who can understand a bit of what is going on. Thanks...keep at it!
Thank you so much for that! I really appreciate it.
such mature playing. damn. i love the fearless approach.
also love the way you listen to eachother...sooo cool
i love how he just lost himself in the music. it’s such a beautiful thing to see a person with such a great talent have such passion. losing yourself in music is the thing that helps keep our sanity. i love this!
the way he starts the solo is so hip, you taught him well K
I appreciate that!
The stank faces that Simon makes in this video are absolutely priceless
Hahaha I know right!
SeanFateStar NK have you watched the George Duke trio playing ”it’s on”? You won’t get disappointed.
@@lmaocke123 👌👌👌
Thats one pocket so deep I dont think ill be able to get out
Kenny G(arrett)
Ha! someone said it again!
simons absolute smiles of respect and complete inspiration following along each note with his mind and ear very good show
excellent dialogue between the two of you!
100% for Teacher and student - each.
Dave, I adore ❤️ your approach to developing an improv. Solo: slowly you build up to a climax, as you have expertly done with Jamie and the other sax experts during the performance of "Caravan".
Your student is stepping excellently 👍 and deliberately in your footsteps, as expected.
That's great.
Thanks, Dave.
God bless you Dave you're a good teacher... That's a skill in itself.. you're also a Great horn player
Oh man. You guys make my day. Absolute killer. Thank for sharing and for keeping Coltrane's spirit alive from here to eternity 🙏💯🙏👏💖
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that
Just beautiful! Really enjoyed this!
Thank you!
So inspiring from both of you guys, really great.
I really appreciate that - glad you liked it!
Wow! Another great video.
You can tell he's learned so much from you, you guys a have a very similar sound, great to see
Still go back to this video every now and then, an old but a classic one, I'm always entertained every time
Glad to hear that - thanks!
These vids are great Dave! Keep it up man.
Will do!
Man what are you teaching him 😭 I’d die to study with you
You can! I do online lessons.
@@DavePollack where do i sign up
@@DavePollack how can I take lessons with you
Outstanding student and teacher
Came back to this video and man you are looking at the student like fletcher did at the end of whiplash head nod and all I love this
Man this was killin!!! Sheesh...time to hit the shed haha
you guys are too cool. thanks for another! :) 6:09 btw is where I lost it. too cool
3 years now but i still watch this every time since then
One of the best teacher and very fine student
ive been looking for "war path" type playing for years, and ive finally found it!
I have been working so hard this year to get that sound on my solos. I have been working on the approach note technique a lot. I feel like I am getting it a little bit, but also feel stuck. I just wish I understood. This video and the blues one really inspire me! Keep up the good work
Just keep at it! It takes a loooong time for things to really click, so just keep pushing ahead. You'll get there one day!
THIS MAN IS A BEAST💯💯
Simon is the real deal. And I love his grimaces when Dave goes way out. Both burnin!
Thanks so much! Glad you dug it
High school level? Really? Man, what will the future bring for him? This was awsome!
Your student and Austin Zhang should collab and jam out sometime.. both of them are straight up fire.
I'm assuming you know who Austin Zhang is, he is from Texas both around the same age.
Dayum! I would have "hated" him in high school, he is soooo talented!
Amazing. Youre both great.
Thanks!
I love these videos
Thanks!
When I get back to the states I hope that you have some gigs playing … absolutely gorgeous playing!
Send me an email when you're here and I'll let you know!
If that’s your student he speaks well for both of you. He plays well and you can just straight up PLAY. I’m sure you’re both proud of each other. It shows!
Thanks so much!
Very good!
Amazing!!
Thanks!
4:47 and 7:10 were so smooth🔥
I love that phrasing
Student plays great too👌
Alto is not right for this kid. Give this lil Coltrane a tenor!
He has one, and sounds great on it!
Idk he sounds like a alto guy to me
in name (of part) of the alto community fuck you ;)
@@garripastor4 no way, tenor gang for sure
nope...... It's right for any saxophone
Awesome playing by u and student1
I wish I had a teacher like you!
Dude, Im late but this is phenomenal! I hope I can get this good in a few years, but that would take a lot of practice! Inspirational playing from the both of you
Thanks so much! Just keep at it- we’re all still learning
His lines are really brilliant
Me encantó. Ese estudiante tiene un futuro prometedor, Gran talento y el maestro excelente trabajo. Tiene las manos llenas con ese joven
Thank you! Yes he's really great
Mannnnn your diatonic playing is amazing Dave!! I've been trying to get that down forever....and this kid is just unreal! Can't wait to see what school he goes to!
He just started at USC!
Dave Pollack Oh wow! Studying with Bob Mintzer?
This is amazing. It also shows me how far and long I have to go. Very impressive guys.
Thank you!
This video will be going to my playlist,,
So damn good!
I appreciate that!
Can you make a video on the exercises Simon uses or what you recommend to get better at playing bebop?
Dang. This happened a year ago. This kid is outstanding.
Dude this is actually sick
Thanks!
DANG!
You both got your Stank Face on! Ha! You guys rock! Simon's a monster! He's blessed to have a teacher like you in his life. 🎷😎👍
Thank you so much!!
All the Kenny Garrett comments are spot on. Hell of a student though, better then I ever was when I was in high school.
Nice one
I have the same neck strap! It is fantastic. You guys sounded good.
Thanks!
Well boys..... it’s time to hit the practice room
Dave, your solo sounded like Kenny Garrett's
Like the tone so much
Im bouta transcribe this whole session
Your student it's Kenny Garret Jr !
What an excellent job!
A little Phil Woods hanging around.
The first time I see the videos by Dave. Wow! 👍 but only music. Can you tell us about anything. Where do you teach and more. Thank you.
A guru and his disciple use the same neck strap. Is that lovely?
The kids tone sounds Aylerish to me. Nice attack, inventive. I like the juxtapositions of approaches.
If I don’t hear 30x more Kenny Garrett from him next time I’m unsubbing.
Killing! 💖🔥💖
Will do!!!
We’re still waiting on the Teaching smooth jazz video with him you promised back in August!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah yeah yeah I know...gotta get to it
This comment section has more hearts than a worm
Damn right
Worms don't have hearts... Do they???
@@ra6378 Earthworms have five.
I'm going to start calling you two Dave "Do It Right" and Simon "Says"!!!
Talk about killing it... drag it back to the cave and roasting it!
Smokey as a Pyro barbiqueing Mesquite ribs on a Diesel grill!
Que maravilhoso é a sonoridade off side.
Congratulations, wonderfull.
How many more students do you have on this level and did you teach him from scratch? Excellent work and congrats to you both
Thanks! Not sure how many others are at his level (or will get to) - he's pretty unique in that sense! I taught him since he was in 5th grade, but he already was playing for a little bit before that.
Wow 😮 just wow 😧 #goals... I've been practicing tho! And I've learned the head to Confirmation! Still working on the rest 😩
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!!
Does anyone have any tips that can help with improvisation? Exercises, scales?
Btw great vid
wow
Simon has a really nice Kenny Garrett-esque tone, I'm jealous.
Don’t be jealous- just keep working towards it! Get the sound you want in your head and keep adjusting until you get closer and closer.
1:03 what are these chord substitutions?
Awesome video! What’s your student’s mouthpiece setup?
Thanks! It's a Ted Klum Acoustimax, and I think he was on D'Addario Select Jazz reeds.
Wow, nice job guys. What kind of musical devices are you using when you're ripping through those outside sounding passages (like the section starting around 2:25)?
bit late but, substituting your own harmonies over the static chords.
Holy shit
Vcs 2 ai.faça um vidio,por favor.me ensinando como poder ter essa articulação. E escala.pentablues. parabéns pros dois
If there was a rocking band behind him, I'd be off my chair!
Yup! Playing with these backing tracks is brutal, but during lessons they're a big help!
what neck strap are they using
Fantastic stuff
Thanks!
Me a pianist over here... “dang I wish I could be that good at sax...” wait don’t play sax
Dave, thanks for this (also great playing by the way). I'm an aspiring jazz pianist myself going through Barry Harris's Workshop DVDs currently. After about 6 years of studying jazz I think I'm finally beginning to understand how this stuff is pieced together, and how I can begin to incorporate a lot of what I already know to modal stuff. I'm really excited to start making my own arrangements and soloing over them... but first, I really need to drill into my head the methods of classical (Bach and Mozart styles) and jazz improvisation (stride, blues, bebop). It's a very broad and difficult subject to tackle especially given the amount of technique focus I have to place, but I believe in myself and feel confident that I will get there one day. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
Simon my man, you are COOKING!
Thanks so much! Sounds like you have a great plan for yourself. It’s a long journey, but fun and rewarding!
I can’t get over how good this kid is, what year is he in???
Senior in high school - 17 years old
Super modern sound
