I'm thinking of buying a baritone, so I can do something a little like this. I'm obsessed with simple harmonic intervals. Mingus is my #2 favorite of all time. This sounds really nice!
Los barítonos son caros, y supongo que por eso mismo solo querrás comprar 1, así que aquí te van unas recomendaciones: hay barítonos que llegan hasta Sib grave, y hay otros que tienen una nota más de capacidad, llegan hasta un La grave, también hay otros que tienen una pata en la parte de abajo para cuando tocas sentado porque los bari sax son pesados, y tocar con el arnés por mucho tienpo te puede causar dolores de espalda, también revisa la paquetería con la que lo compras, para que no te llegue golpeado💀, soy bari player, éxito
as someone who does play saxophone bari sax at that i have to agree i like playing my alto but it's nothing compared to the tone that comes out of the bari
It’s a bari driven song.. but let’s show manz some love for keeping a damn good tone on the soprano. Not tinny at all. Being able to master tone on all 4 major saxes is no small feat 🎷
Well, no. The soprano is. The mouthpiece is so tiny you'll have a hard time with intonation. Bari needs a looser emboucher and a lot more air. Alto and Tenor are the easiest.
If you do more of these videos, you should mark four spots on the floor, with tape. Stand on one spot, for each separate track, but leave the mic/gain exactly in the same place. It'll add a lot of depth/space, especially if you use a stereo pair, like an ORTF setup, or binaural. Actually, you could mark 8 spots, and double track everything, LOL. You get the idea.
It's a neat idea for sure, but I don't know if it's worth all the extra work in the long run. It's very hard to balance and tune to a recording of yourself, so I end up doing a bit of editing after no matter what. Results sound a lot better, even though there's that artificial aspect to it. I did do that with the videos for a while (about 4 years ago), however. It's an interesting sight to see 8 of yourself in one room!
@@Mooresax1 Ah, you mean it's harder to balance your dynamics and pitch, when tracking that way? Oh, I just noticed you're not monitoring through headphones!?! Did you actually play all 4 parts of this, just by charts and a metronome, or something? I.e. you can't hear your other tracks, while playing? I'm probably the only one who likes the 'one mic' technique, nowadays... although there is a channel that does some great recordings that way, with an AEA R88 (which is a stereo ribbon mic). I'll try to find one of your older videos like that.
I record audio and video separately. I have headphones and a click track when doing audio, video I have speakers off screen. Logistically, it saves me a lot of time to just sit in one place for 30-60 minutes to record everything, and then the video can be whatever I want. I do a lot of editing in post for just intonation and very precise rhythmic timing. Most of these arrangements I wouldn't know how to balance to a single gain mic. I don't really practice/prepare the parts before recording, so I'd end up having to edit a lot anyways and probably lose the entire impact of having that singular mic. Mix isn't great (didn't really know what I was doing), but here's an old recording where the video has me all in one room. ruclips.net/video/s70ipV7Ou2E/видео.html
@@Mooresax1 Thanks for the explanation! I haven't heard the link yet, but _this_ video really does sound great, however you're doing it. By the way, do you have any 'Third Stream' videos, like Gil Evans+Miles Davis?
Yes. I have a few third stream compositions: Until Dawn Breaks, Beyond The Depths, Responsive Echo fit best that I can think of off hand. Arrangement wise, check out some of the larger saxophone choir stuff. Especially Day 24 of all 3 Christmas seasons. There's probably a bit of third stream stuff in my Christmas arrangements, just the nature of the project year after year.
Does it take you many takes to put together things like this? I know if I tried i'd spend far too long trying to get the perfect take! also I noticed you arnt wearing headphones, how do you play so well in time without listening back to the track?
It's a long process to get this done. I record audio first to a click track, usually 1-2 takes. After that's recorded, I spend a few hours editing the track to sound like I want it (a lot of fixing timing and tuning). After that's done, I record the videos with the click track playing out of speaker playing off screen, so it looks like I'm playing it live without headphones, but I'm really just miming it for the video.
Hey, don't get me wrong. I only criticize things I like, because I want them to be better, but from 0:57 to 1:04 - the soprano sounds off. I don't think you should end on a low F. I think a middle F would genuinely sound nicer.
I love how he tried to add in little face moves to look like he filmed this all at once.
It helps with timing, even without a crew, especially when soloing
@@georgethecat5150as he said, it helps timing sheet music without a director or anything to keep tempo
He? That's 4 dudes
@@JoshuaMyers-j9b they’re the same person, recorded at different times
@@Brandenovids1962 It's a joke.
Nah fam, the fun starts at 0:00.
I was NOT expecting Moanin' with that intro
can confirm, that is THEE best bari sax song!
It's THEE bari solo
as soon as i quit bari sax my band director decided to choose this song for the jazz band to play 💀 i begged him for months to play this man
Did you get the part?
@@iamarden9893 nope lol. by the time i found out we were playing this, he already chose someone else to use my bari
@@YIPPIEEEEEE1111dang that sucks bro, hope you get to play this later aswell
@@MeqpG thanks bro. prob won’t play bari again 😭 but it’s fine cuz i get to be a percussionist now
Can we take a minute to appreciate how each instrument has its own distinct neck strap?
I'm thinking of buying a baritone, so I can do something a little like this. I'm obsessed with simple harmonic intervals. Mingus is my #2 favorite of all time. This sounds really nice!
After watching this several times, I realized I'll eventually need a baritone, tenor, alto, AND a soprano.
Needless to say, I did not see that coming.
Baritones are cool, but you should buy a euphonium instead

I like the sound of them but dislike playing it. I bought a Selmer Mark VI but rarely played and I eventually sold it.
@@JwellsuhhuhI see what you did there lol
My 13 year old plays the Bari and showed me this song! Bravo!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You gotta get 'em the _Ah Um,_ and _Dynasty_ albums, for starters. I didn't find them until I was 26+.
wsg unc
Fantastic! As a bari player, I have to hang my head in shame that I don't know this tune...Great stuff, as always!
It's not required to learn. It's always been my favorite jazz song. And I soon as I learned the Bari I learned how to play it
Trust me, this song is required to learn if you play bari. I can’t think of any other reason to want to play bari when it comes to jazz
Play it by ear, trust me it’s easier that way
@@Catholic17 what’s it called
@@IHeartTecca it's called Moanin by Charles Mingus
Awesome. I don't play saxophone but the baritone is my absolute favourite.
I think I'm going to buy a baritone sax and start playing. It's good for your health!
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 more gear= greater happiness

His bari playing gives me the chills
Soprano and bari carry this
Soprano: 33%
Alto: 17%
Tenor: 16%
Bari: 34%
@@kaiserflxme yes
I'd say the alto and soprano and bari carry more than the tenor
Just started playing this in jazz band and its one of my favorite songs even if it's difficult
This makes me so glad i switched to Bari
im a tenor sax player and thats one of the best things ever played for me!mingus is the barigoat,all the backround is amazing/ its just perfect
dude you are unbelivable how good you are at bari sax i love the bari sax.
I used to like alto over the others. Now I love all, and especially when I hear them played so well!
as someone who plays bari sax in high school you are incredibly talented keep it up bro
best jazz song i have ever heard on saxophone
Holy crap this insanely good
Sounds great! Mingus would be proud 🎷 Who played sax on that record?
Turns out Pepper Adams played it on the original record, but the recording that everyone knows is Ronnie Cuber
@@Mooresax1Pepper is my favorite bari player but Cuber absolutely killed that intro and solo. R.I.P. to him, he recently passed away
Holy this came out on my birthday, what a nice present ☺
on the bari you have that certain look. Its so funny!
I've been told I have a resting stank face on bari, I think it makes me play better!
@@Mooresax1 I don't trust ANYONE who _doesn't_ have RSF.
beautiful harmonies. great playing
as soon as i heard that lick i was like ofc😂😂
Well done! I really wana rock one out with out bruh. Haven't played a soprano but i own the other 3 major flavors
Same here but soprano's too squeaky for my taste😅😂
You haven't seen a pro then. When played right, the soprano can be a warm sounding instrument
Such a clean arrangement and great playing to go with it. Dig it man!
THE BARI BEST INDEED,BRAVO,!!!
Great work!!!
It’s a bari driven song.. but let’s show manz some love for keeping a damn good tone on the soprano. Not tinny at all. Being able to master tone on all 4 major saxes is no small feat 🎷
Bravo! Great song choice, and gorgeous playing!
Banging arrangement!!
He came and saw my class like 2 months ago lol
i see a leather ligature on the Alto...this confirms that Alto is the hardest to make sound good...
Straight lies
Well, no. The soprano is. The mouthpiece is so tiny you'll have a hard time with intonation. Bari needs a looser emboucher and a lot more air. Alto and Tenor are the easiest.
@joycenelms2490 I'm sorry, I don't think of the soprano as a Saxophone... it's more like an Oboe to me... just kidding...
Do you have sheet music? That beginning sounded great, I love this arrangement 👍

there are some on olx, I'm from Brazil so I don't know what it's like in the USA
Noice saxophone group also I’m a bari sax player at my school also hey is that a low A bari sax or a low Bb bari sax
It's a low Bb bari. Sometimes I wish I had a low A, but the horn does a good job

Is anyone else a little frustrated that they aren’t in order of lowest to highest pitch
No I’m mad it’s not bari tenor soprano alto like how it would be in a band
its dope but needs a rhythm section
"When i get up in the booth SAP play those beats" Shoutout @ChrisWebby got what you need!
the bari best indeed....
