    Song sung blue.
    You took the saddest song and made me happy.
    You did nothing to convey the deep melancholy and despair of the original intent and for that I thank you.

    Jay, you asked your followers who their favorite artists are. I watch this and you're one of mine. Aside from enjoying watching you play the video provides more. I'm still trying to get my embouchure down. By watching videos like this I can study your's as well as your articulation. Thanks.

    Jay, Do the lead sheets have note for note transcription of the melody and your solos?

  • @jesseserranoll39

    Sweet! After your reviews of the JJ Jet mouthpieces I purchased for my Alto and Tenor as I could afford them.. WOW! What a difference. The Funk Band I am in just swallowed my Alto on my Meyer's Bro's NY 6, however, the Jet really cuts through. My only regret is I purchased them both before your new Burnin' line was introduced.. I tend to make more $$ playing solo, so maybe with all the "Trax" I have purchased I can afford a Burnin example soon!
    One question concerning your setup in this piece. You have often noted your preference for Single Screw Ligs like the Duo (Awesome Reed retention.. world's better than the "H"). ON this recording you have on a 2 screw lig. I know the Lig doesn't make the Gig, but what influenced your choice of the 2 screw in this case? I am EXCITED to try the JJ Power Ring I ordered, mainly for quicker setup as lately I am always playing 3 horns and every moment I can save in setup/ breakdown is valued.
    Thanks for all you do and your consistent efforts to make sure anyone who wants the tools to improve has the knowledge and access if we will just invest the time!

    • @bettertrax5640
      @bettertrax5640  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      My power ring and most of my other alto ligs are at the office and I recorded this at home. Just grabbed the closest one. Glad the jet is working for you.

      Synthetic reeds for that kazoo like tone. Cane for when you actually want to sound like a jazz musician. 😂
