@@acdgamer7292 they're great aswell! If you've ever tried Rigotti Golds they come from the same cane and those reeds are legendary aswell (I swap between both brands on tenor personally but both are great)
Based on your playing, I think Chad LB was definitely right to invite you to teach a masterclass two weeks ago. You are truly a great player and who I believe to be a sequel to Charlie Parker.
Clicked this so fast. Good stuff I'm planning to try them next. I think I'll go a half down. I was looking forward to seeing what you'd do at the end with that beanie bit. Did not disappoint lmao
This cat is a riot... so funny, quick witted and has HUMOR built in like my Bro and me. Don't see that in young folks much anymore..... has good chops. I'm subscribing to just see what he does next. Cheers from Texas from one Alto player to the Boston reed dude mavin.
I usually play java greens and my friend recommended me these, I'm super excited to try them out but first I have to go through my current pack of reeds lmao.
Great review/video! Honesty is a rarity in these types of videos on other channels. It’s appreciated! I’ve been on the alto Vandoren Zz Reeds 2.5 for years but this video has swayed me to order some BSS reeds. ✌️
I absolutely love this collab!! Such an amazing sound, Nathan! Question: when youre playing on 2.5s, are you playing with a looser embouchure to allow more vibration? I find that softer reeds pinch off for me, but you seem to be able to get a great sound on both.
You just get better and better!!- I used to use Vandoren green Javas (which I heard were designed for David Sanborn) and they only lasted for one gig, then, I started using the V16 which lasted a while longer. D’Addario has me hooked on Jazz Select for studio and Reserve for live stuff. They can take a ton of air night after night and have good, solid hearts.
I'm currently using green Javas. V16s were great on a previous mp I owned. Like you, I really them lasting longer than other reeds. The ones I have now are too hard for my current mps. But you got me interested in trying the Jazz Select and Reserve reeds. How do they compare?
Could you do a video on improvising? Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay hey man I want you to check something out and see if u can do it it’s not tenichally under the jazz topic but it’s a classical it’s called the carnival of Venice alto solo piece
Imagine living in the worst map in Cold War 🤣🤣🤣
What is that neckstrap of yours? Those 2.5's sound great btw, def gonna pick up a pack
Reeds so good I’ve converted to Christianity
God damn man... That “there will” thing you played was bootyful
Ur bootyful
I don’t know y I’m watching this I play drums, I like both ur channels
@@zionhoffman9469 omg you watch matthias too?!
The hype on these reeds is legit!! I've played on a handful of different brands and BSS is king for sure
Have you tried their tenor ones at all? I'm thinking of picking up some but I don't know if they're for me.
@@acdgamer7292 they're great aswell! If you've ever tried Rigotti Golds they come from the same cane and those reeds are legendary aswell (I swap between both brands on tenor personally but both are great)
@@gamer7268 love rigotti golds for my tenor
@@jacobdavis787 the BSS are very similar but have a bit more color to the sound but both reeds are great for that beefy tenor sound 🙏
Is that stack of toilet paper keeping the window open?
Lol, I didn't even notice that
I saw the thumbnail of you burning the java green box, i was hurt :(
Same... 🥲
i never realized that til i took a closer look
I swear to god this man is getting weirder and weirder as each video goes by 😂
its cuz he moved to florida
he a Florida man now
are you the sax player from tiktok?
esoteric
I just listen to the playing and the subject matter. I don’t think I’ll understand the humor until I can play as well as he does.
He’s funny 😆
Based on your playing, I think Chad LB was definitely right to invite you to teach a masterclass two weeks ago. You are truly a great player and who I believe to be a sequel to Charlie Parker.
Whoa I wouldn’t go that far haha but thank you anyway man!
BTW, it’s Alejandro from the masterclass.
@@sharonsantana3320 Hi Sharon
@@Saxologic you're my charlie parker :)
The dislike is from the reed company he got his reeds from before
Great video!!
What is that profile pic? Is that Nathan?
NO WAY ITS CHARLIE PARKER!!!
How’d Charlie Parker get in here?
Oh. My. God.
Yep BSS is the way to go. One of the few things in life where the hype is 100% real
this is fake he didnt play the mariokart lick on the bss reeds >:(
😞
Yes he did 8:23
@@fazeup6264 thats not the lick
💯🎷great review! Its freaky how well they play.... you sound great and also that reed case is dope. That is all 🙏🏻
Thank you Mr. Steve!!
Those reeds: see the cross of reeds that you made
Also those reeds: _Nervous Sweating_
The solo is cannonball adderley from autumn leaves on somethin else if I remember correctly
Yep it is
The solo at 7:11 is the alto solo on Autumn Leaves I'm pretty sure.
Cannonball!
@@squizz714 first track off of somethin else yeah yeah
Yep Cannonball Adderley
@@thomas.j.s actually knowing jazz song names is pointless xD
I swear it was on milestones
I was waiting for this video haha everyone converts eventually
I take reed recommendations with a grain of salt, but I trust you, and you've kind of convinced me. I might pick some up for my tenor.
Dude. Do it. It’s so good.
Yesss do. I have them on alto and tenor and they are great on both
I miss playing saxophone so much I haven't played in so long but you've rekindled my love for saxophone
Solo: Cannonball on Autumn Leaves
Btw BSS converted me too. They are amazing.
They instantly converted me as soon as I tried one too. The consistency is serious. I can immediately tell when I'm playing on a non-Boston reed now.
Someone needs to send you a free box cutter so you'll stop using that kitchen knife to open boxes.
9:42 you can't do that man :(
Thought he was going to play smash bros brawl D:
Have no idea why I’m watching someone review reeds, as I’m a brass player. Something about these videos are so captivating.
The ending got me laughing this time man, good stuff and props to you for staying on top of your game this semester!
"Beanies cool but- I hate myself"
-god
Clicked this so fast. Good stuff I'm planning to try them next. I think I'll go a half down. I was looking forward to seeing what you'd do at the end with that beanie bit. Did not disappoint lmao
I've been using these reeds for about a year now, they are amazing!
Where can we buy the Charlie Parker poster, you said the guy who gave it to you had an online website

And just like that.. he’s a BSS fanboy
I usually play java greens and my friend recommended me these, I'm super excited to try them out but first I have to go through my current pack of reeds lmao.
Two videos in one week? We are blessed.
Welp congratulations Jeff! You've just earned yourself a couple thousand new customers! 😉👍🏼
canonball on autumn leaves is too 🔥💦
Nice opening “ahhh ahhhh it’s so good!!”
I want to learn sax just to play these reeds.
my man gonna drop a mixtape with that beanie
YESSIR!!! Welcome to the BSS gang!
I was the 69th like on this video, nice
Those 2.5s sound phenomenal man!
Bro the reeds are just wow I have been playing on a set of reeds for my tenor for like 5 months and still plays great
@Alex Scaggs, are you related to Boz??
Great review/video! Honesty is a rarity in these types of videos on other channels. It’s appreciated! I’ve been on the alto Vandoren Zz Reeds 2.5 for years but this video has swayed me to order some BSS reeds. ✌️
POV: You're putting these reeds on your christmas wish list
Next time close the door to the bathroom so we don't have to look at your toilet and wonder if you flushed :-0
Used java for years and then I switched to Boston Sax Shop Reeds. I’ll never go back. Jack is an awesome owner too.
Is there a reed like this for classical sax?
Guess the solo: Cannonball on Autumn Leaves. That one of my favorite cannonball solos!
I absolutely love this collab!! Such an amazing sound, Nathan!
Question: when youre playing on 2.5s, are you playing with a looser embouchure to allow more vibration? I find that softer reeds pinch off for me, but you seem to be able to get a great sound on both.
The solo at 7:10 is Cannonball Adderley's solo on Autumn Leaves from the Somethin' Else album.
Ah yes the Kenny Garrett beanie
Wow, that tone! So rich and beautiful!
I don’t even know how to play the saxophone but I could hear difference in the tones
Def getting these for Christmas

*how do they compare against each other
I like how on their website they have reed charts on their product page for reference
Your sound on 2.5 is incredible. The 3 is too bright to me but wow
6:45
"The subtone feels great 🤢"
Excellent Review, I'll have to try some Alto Reeds. That reed case looks pretty awesome too.
Woah ... I'm intrigued. I'm wondering: did they select great reeds especially for sending to you?
Nope, they’re just that good lmao
@@jaedancurcio1545 crazy they're basically the same price as vandoren regulars
@@lucasbolinger7239 i feel ripped off by my vandorens now
You kept the video interesting the whole way through! Thanks 😂
What’s that? The sound of my attention span increasing?
Autumn leaves cannonball from somethin'else
dude i play trumpet and still watch these videos you make, i just love the content
Same, I’m a bassoon/clarinet player but I love sax, so this is super interesting and stuffs
7:10 I hear that cannonball autumn leaves solo 😉
7:11 the solo is Adderley on Autumn leaves with Miles Davis, really well executed bro!
How are these reeds for classical sax? Looking to switch up from Vandoren blue box.
Do they only make jazz reeds?
Could you do a video on improvising? Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eventually!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
where's the lick, review incomplete
You loot great in the Beanie btw
Yes I I've been using Boston sax reeds for a mouth or more now and im in love with them!
I’ve been playing bss reeds now for 3 months and I’m not going back
Last time I was this early your sax was still in the shop
Ngl that beanie looks great on you and in general
A pirate lol, and cannonball on autumn leaves
Solo is cannonball on autumn leaves I think? Also I got some BSS reeds a week ago, it’s time to burn some V16s
Let me guess, you got a shakuhachi?
Yes!
Beautiful tone on the 2.5 reads, I like the bit more “buzz”. 3’s nice but those 2.5’s .....
yea man me too i'm already on my 3rd box . BSS taking over frost !
Dude, your sound is so awesome! I love seeing your progression through the years for sure!
Anyone tried with a Drake mouthpiece? ("Vintage Resin Jazz" model)
4:32 As a bass player, I can relate
Nice 4K setup man!
When I saw the knife, I was ready for comedy!! You’re the best! I hope to meet you and exchange energies with you.
7:10 Cannonball Adderley And Miles Davis Autumn Leaves
He really baited us that badly with the licc 😔
Me still using java reeds: bruh
Hey nice one, i just want to ask if you could review the new legere american cut synthetic reeds made for jazz players
I second that request.
What happened to the Theo Wanne mouthpiece review?
I just bought a box of reeds yesterday and now I'm wishing I bought these instead
You were rocking the bald style should bring it back
6:18 song: there will never be another you
Meyer 7M + BSS 3 = BEST JAZZ SETUP COMBINATION IN THE WORLD
The logo is the alchemic symbol for brass I believe. Pretty crispy🤙
Cannonball Adderly's solo on Autumn Leaves
Okay hey man I want you to check something out and see if u can do it it’s not tenichally under the jazz topic but it’s a classical it’s called the carnival of Venice alto solo piece
Cannonball Adderley’s solo on Autumn Leaves!! Transcribed that one in a span of a couple of hours :)
Are BSS reeds just ROBERTO WINDS reeds boxed with the BSS logo/box??? Stencil reeds even???
So the hype is real!
BSS Reeds are good. The hat is really happening though!
