How did I just find out earlier today that it's Gerald on this solo?!?! He posted an instagram birthday greeting to Miss Rushen with this solo, crazy! Cheers to Mr. Albright! Thanks for this transcription, I always messed up the very last phrase until now!
Thank you! This is the only sax tutorial I have found on TH-cam that is actually helping me learn how to play this ridiculously hard solo, section by section. Been an extreme help! Thx! 🙏🎷
Great stuff again. How about the solo from Paul Simon's still crazy? Stop me if this is getting boring, but this is the best sax channel on TH-cam by a country mile.
Funkiest sax of all time Raymond Hill on Jackie Brenston's Rocket 88...and you can't change my mind! Please do a how to on that solo! Love your channel
Another wonder Jamie lesson, Fantastic theme and very nice ending with your children. I insist you seem to me to be very good people as well as a great musician.
Great Channel Jaime, going to have a crack at this one on my tenor , defiantly subscribing to your channel - musical regards Paul - Saxocoustic Channel
@getyoursaxtogether Hello! I love the video teaching Jamie, you are one of the best sax teachers on the planet, and I learned this song, thanks to you. For whatever reason, I decided to read the comments, and Lee Branginos comment stood out, and I checked out the E.W.F. link, because I am huge fan, and Lee was 110% right, I echo, and beg you to learn the sax solo in that song they did at the R&R hall of fame, and teach it to us. Man that might just be the funkiest I have ever heard. Good stuff.
Big fan of your work Jamie! I started playing the sax a month ago and I haven't gotten a chance of getting someone to teach how to play the sax due to the pandemic... but thanks to you I can play! I was wondering if you could make a video on how to play Versace on the floor by Bruno Mars. Sounds really good on the sax. Anyways, thanks for all your videos. Keep it up!
Thanks for your support Benjamin and good luck learning the sax - glad I could help in some way. I only do songs that were originally on sax I'm afraid, so I won't be doing that Bruno Mars song. Thanks for watching and let me know if there's anything else I can do for you. J:-)
Hi Jamie This is wonderful teaching and learning for sax players at all levels. Just wondered if you would ever consider doing Twist Lackawanna by Junior Walker.
Thanks. I LOVE that Jr. track! I could do like fifty of his tracks, but I haven't got any plans do that one much as I love it. I've done a whole video just on him though - you might enjoy that. th-cam.com/video/eIspuOGY5Lg/w-d-xo.html J:-)
Get Your Sax Together Hi Jamie Thank you for a quick reply. Due to the interest of your channel I am sure to answer everyone takes much of your time. Jr Walker is my favourite at the moment. I have his Ultimate Collection 25 track CD playing in my car all the time. Have you a specific fingering for altissimo on tenor sax that works best for you. It would be good to see and try your best method.
Jamie, good morning, value the possibility of making a video about Altisimo, because with your didactic form I can finally get to play those difficult notes. Thank you
Great suggestion! I'm actually doing an altissimo lesson in the next few months, so stay tuned. Sir Valor has a great channel for altissimo stuff. J:-)
Do we think this was performed on alto originally? The video shows Gerald Albright playing the tenor, but I wonder if it's another example of the '80s phenomenon of showing tenor saxes in videos, even when played on alto sax.
I don't have a "premium" version (do you mean a paid version?), and I'm afraid I don't teach vocal melodies on sax, that's not my thing! Thanks for watching. :-)
Ooh. Good suggestion, I'll add it to the list. If you like Gary Herbig you can check out his solo on (I've Had) The Time Of My Life here th-cam.com/video/CF5qaPWLs14/w-d-xo.html
@@GetYourSaxTogether Thankyou so much for replying. I stumbled on your videos recently and I love them ! We are a family of musicians, me alto in high school ,hubby guitar and our daughter plays piano. Joe has recently started learning a lot of Billy Joel and I though I’d give the solos a crack. I found the just the way you are solo on your channel and I’m getting through it ! My lips are sore ! Love it x Yay you’re awesome. You’re my teacher now. Sending love from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 I love Sheila E and I’ve always wanted to learn the solo …..
@@GetYourSaxTogether I saw it your Jr. video and loved it. You are doing great and important work. Have you done a video on King Curtis? If not, I believe you should. His 'Whiter Shade of Pale' would be worth a highlight.
Oh and one more thing...just searched your website....No mention of my second favourite saxophonist of all time (Jr. Walker being the first)...I'm talking about Zoot Sims. Catch him on Love for Sale on his live Ronnie Scott's album. Such dexterity, and what tone.....Keep up the great work!
I wouldn't recommend it, no, but it's totally possible and many of the greatest players of all time did exactly that, so if that's your only option then go for it!!! Start with my beginner series if you do. th-cam.com/play/PLBRGEAheQrplmpl10XO-k5co7HD1n-rkM.html Thanks for watching and let me know if there's anything else I can do for you. J:-)
If you’re talking about the alto transposition, then no, it’s an A natural in the first bar, not an A#. My chart is correct. I’ve just re listened just in case. I’m very serious about the accuracy of my transcriptions. Thanks for commenting though and please feel free to consult some other pro musicians for a second opinion if you can’t hear it. 😎

Greetings Jamie! I love your funky sax solo break down video tutorials. I have a request for a very funky solo, I would really appreciate you breaking down. When Earth, Wind, and Fire was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, they released a CD from that class, and the song from them was their hit Shining Star. At the 2:47 on this song this funky sax solo begins, and it is one of thee funkiest I have ever heard in my life, and I am currently trying to learn this one. Here is the link to the song. Again, thank you so much for all you do. th-cam.com/video/9dhYolcPPz4/w-d-xo.html
@@GetYourSaxTogether , greetings again. I found out the problem it's because you are in the U.K. and I in Florida. But But even better, I actually found the actually live live video of them playing this at the Hall of Fame, and it works in the U. K. Here is the link th-cam.com/video/0w8_67K6ZZc/w-d-xo.html I can't tell, but isn't the sax player on there, Maceo Parker? It is at the same time stamp as mentioned in my first comment.

chingo bling I understand. Well, the “full version” is a vocal song, so no, I’ve only got the sax solo bit. Sorry!
Those two rascals have got their dad down to a tee! Another great video, Jamie. Thanks.

Thanks so much!! Yeh, they're well funny on this. J:-)
I’m really about to buy a saxophone just to play this 😂 I love this song and the sax solo so much!! Thank you for your video !
Yeh, but don’t expect to be able to play this any time soon! It’s well hard.
@@GetYourSaxTogether I understand ! It isn’t a beginner friendly song for sure 😂 but it’s motivation to keep practicing for sure ! Thanks again !
Another great Sunday morning lesson. Three coffees on there way. One each, I think your daughter and son have earned one too. 😂😂👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much Paul. Problem is, they saw this comment, now they want £1.50 each! lol They earned it. J:-)

@@GetYourSaxTogether Sirvalosax, it has vineyards of Altisimo for Tenor I am more interested in alto sax
im curious if u could choose in a head 2 head battle of the tenor sax live solo gerald albright, kirk whalum or richard elliot whos coming on top ?
Good question!
Soul Power 74 with Maceo Parker is a great funky Alto SAx Solo
Watch out for my next video (best ever sax part 2, the 1970s) cos I play his exact solo from that!
Do we think this was performed on alto originally? The video shows Gerald Albright playing the tenor, but I wonder if it's another example of the '80s phenomenon of showing tenor saxes in videos, even when played on alto sax.
Nope, definitely tenor.
I love the: ''It's my channel !'' remark. It's so you.
lol Thanks for watching. J:-)
If you feel so inclined, Snake Davis' intro/solo on Million Love Songs would have all my fave sax solos covered on your channel!
I'll check it out! J:-)
Awesome stuff! Another great Pop-R&B sax parts would be from "Shame" by Evelyn "Champaign" King. May I request you transcribe those sax parts? 😀
Oh yeah that’s a beaut actually. 👍🏻
@@GetYourSaxTogether I just remembered another one, although the sax solo is a bit short -- the tenor sax solo in Odyssey's Native New Yorker.
@@ketong71 I’ve already done that. I can’t be arsed finding the link- just search it on TH-cam and I’ll come up.
Do you have a lesson for the whole song? (even in premium)
I don't have a "premium" version (do you mean a paid version?), and I'm afraid I don't teach vocal melodies on sax, that's not my thing! Thanks for watching. :-)
Would love for you to do the solo from Billy Joel's Christie Lee.
I'll check it out. J:-)
please break down Gary Herbig on the Alf theme. My fav sax "solo" of all time^^ Cheers
