Short term goal: ability to smoothly transition between chords. Medium term goal: sound like Jay. Long term goal: Sound like me, sounding like Jay. May never get there, but it's not about the destination, it's about the journey.
Journey is everything 🙏🏻
I couldn’t have said any better.
I wholeheartedly agree with this goal
@@bettertrax5640 received my first tenor the Jean Paul ts-400 off your review!
Hi Jay, j’adore ton son. Si je pouvais m’en approcher même un petit peu, je serais le plus heureux. ❤
My god that was just butter. Incredible.
Silky smooth Dexter vibes. Bravo Jay!
A compliment not a criticism, let’s hear that on bari ❤❤❤
hi I'm Bob
I feel super relaxed listening to this song.
I love the phoofy sound of the tenor. It's like playing the the tune in a sub tone. I'm there.
Part of that is Jay’s tone. It’s such a warm sound on tenor that is hard to beat.
You are more than a teacher you are a total inspiration.
A perfect example of 'less is more'. Very nice
Always Amazing and Inspiring 🙏 "Georgia" is so soulful and expressive! This is now my favorite rendition. More blessings upon you Jay!!
This is my favorite style! Jay you are so versatile, always a pleasure listening to you play
Thanks
Jay my man you are a incredible sax player.That's why you teach so well and have such a great following. I've been watching and learning from you for years. Thanks for sharing.
Great job Jay!
Wonderful
Well done Jay! Soulful with a capital S!
Thank you
Straight to my heart. Thanks for this Jay. So much to emulate. You truly lead by giving. I will be taking such steps as I can...
Thanks
Awesome as always Jay, super smooth.
Thanks!
Very cozy
Healing stuff here
Beautiful tune ! Well played.
Thank you
Great !
Amazing
Wow. Epic!
Very nice!
If this is improv you are literally my favorite and I want lessons!😩😂
Bellissimo/ grazie
You are such an amazing player Jay, if i could just be half of what you are as a player , i’d be in heaven!!!
Thank you
Very Good---You Not Only Teacher---also Very nice Player ..........
Nice play Jay, this setup fits you perfectly.
I will transcribe this one for sure !
Did you? Can I Get it? Thanks
Damn!
I don‘t play Jazz very often and (also not very well), but if I would, I would looking forward to sound like you in this recording. Amazing…
Thanks
Somebody's been putting in some recent work. You've always been good but that was "Better Sax."
Yeah man 😍💪🏼
Damn, Jay! That's the best I've ever heard you play. That performance was honestly up there with any of the greats. Interesting you didn't play it on your Yani, but I get why you didn't. You gotta be really proud of that one!
Thanks Brian. That is my Yany with a KB sax neck.
@@bettertrax5640 Geez, I was way off. The horn doesn't look shiny in the video. Which KB neck did you go with? Finally, I have a request. Would you be interested/willing to do "I Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out to Dry"? I'm sure you know the tune (Dexter Gordon). Based on your tone and style playing Georgia, I think it'd be an excellent tune for you to do.
🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏
Beautiful, Jay. After listening to this, I'm not sure whether to be inspired, or just quit because I could never do what you do on tenor. ;v)
Never say never
Hey Bill, follow the dream and you will get there! Jay is a master but you can be too if you really want 🎷👍
Gentlemen, thank you so much for the sentiments behind your kind comments. I've had the privilege of growing up and playing with some of the best jazz musicians on the Planet, from the US, to Western Europe, and Latin America. One thing I've noticed about the true masters of their instruments is that they/you are the most helpful, open, and HUMBLE people you can find. I don't have a music degree to my name and am mostly self-taught. The jazz music community is universal, no matter where we travel. (And Jay is one of the truly "Nice Guys" in our business).
That blue me away
Nice sound 🎷❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
already subscribe 😀😀😀😀😀
Please tell me the BetterTrax will continue to expand and be available long term. I'm learning alto but bought a Tenor. I'm looking to play songs like this eventually. I'm not planning on playing in a band or performing publicly. Just using the sax as a forum of therapy and escaping the world while practicing and playing.
Yes we just released a new volume!
I agree. Learning to play the sax has saved my life. It’s the best therapy for things like PTSD. You have to be so in the moment. Jay, thank you for this, and all your videos. I have a teacher l, but I supplement my learning with your stuff.
Totally inspiring rendition. I'm quite a beginner Bettersax member but opted to learn your solo by ear (I've obviously bitten off more than I can chew but still chewing). Didn't sound soulful at all on a 2.5 reed but sounded better on a 3.0 reed. Please tell - what reed strength did you use on this?
What is your set up on this Video - Sax, mouthpiece and reed. It as great
Hey I'm playing my Better Sax Burnin' 7* mouthpiece here geni.us/jH3yKz
Man Jay, your camera liked your playing so much it totally forgot to focus on you! ha
Hi Jay. Gorgeous sound. Which mouthpiece are you using on this?
The BetterSax Burnin 7* I put a link in the description
Love my Burnin mouthpiece. It’s the only piece I play for all styles .
WOW!! Was that totally improvised on the spot? Or do you run through it a couple more times to get the feel of it and where you want to go with it? Your tonality and musical interpretation were interesting and outstanding!!
I have played this tune many times but each time will be different. That’s the fun part.
What kind of Mouth Piece do you use Jay?? And Reed?? Just curious
Hey I'm playing my Better Sax Burnin' 7* mouthpiece here geni.us/jH3yKz
Such nice ☺️ improvising. I been played "Georgia"in band recently but it was/is nowhere near your play!
Thanks 🙏🏻
Balanced action??
Auto focus lol, sounds great though!
Yeah big autofocus fail. 😅
Camera went into relax mode…having a cigar and just a smooth mixed drink…..
