Thanks for this analysis. I've been a Sanborn fan for decades and I actually preferred his sound and what he was doing in the 70's and 80's. We can all try to get close to his sound and phrasing but what's impossible to do - and this is unique to every musician we try to emulate - is that musician's individual TASTE. Sanborn has impeccable taste in knowing what to play given any musical situation. I can imagine he nailed this solo in the recording studio in likely half the time that it took for us to analyze it here! And Sanborn seemed to deliver 8 or 16 bars of goodness for anyone he worked with during this period - Stevie Wonder, James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt....
Great comment. He's got a great series on RUclips called the Sanborn Sessions. Go and check that out, it's pretty cool. Totally agree with your remarks as well - always loved Tuesday Heartbreak with Stevie! Thanks for watching and let me know if there's anything I can do for you. J:-)
Love Sanborn. Funky tone and plays with an attitude... DIscovered him on the Lethal Weapon soundtracks in the late 80s', early 09s. I need to study/shed him more.
Here's gor a wicked series of studio gigs with friends out on youtube. It's called the Sunburn Sessions. Check this out ruclips.net/channel/UCB_lcjzo06yB6oZSH0Nu3qg J:-)
Hi Jamie, I find your tutoring is second to none I really like the last video of what to and how to. A few ?s I am struggling to get used to a metronome how to overcome this 2 when some one talk about flatten 3,6,7 and this cords and flatten this and sharpen that. can you tell how do you as a sax play can remember all this things plus all the things you have to do with your mouth and tongue . I am finding learning the beautiful instrument is hard hard glen
VALLEY GLEN - thanks for watching! 1. Metronome. You’re struggling because you’re not used to playing in time. Slow the metronome right down until you can manage whatever you’re playing then gradually speed up. It takes time. 2. Chords etc. Watch these videos, especially vids 1-3. They will explain everything very simply. ruclips.net/p/PLBRGEAheQrpmo8uhihW5lG1vZnMZiz6El 3. Use long notes to practice your mouth position etc so you don’t have to think of anything else. If all else fails just make a “hoe” shape with your mouth and don’t put any pressure on the reed with your bottom lip. It takes time and daily practice. Good luck. 😎
Hey man great video! I’m going to be watching a bunch of your stuff. One suggestion…. Maybe a camera focused on your hands for us dopes who are just starting. Don’t know all my notes yet hahah. Got a good feel but I’m a guitar player lol.
Hai its me again. Plist give advice about what kinds of saxo i have to play for performance in the cafe. I have saxo for beginer.and inwant to upgrade. But i dont know which is good one..plist
@@GetYourSaxTogether I'm sure that's right, just that I was not aware of his work prior to that. I checked his jazz recordings out though from hearing him on this record.
@Stan Getz...it's not necessary to use a cool metal high baffle piece, you can achieve the same type tone/sound with a HR mpc...Tell him Get Your Sax Together!

How do you play that over blown split tone on the high F# at 8:30 in the video (bridge solo)?
@@darwood6861 you have to kinda loosen your embouchure and adjust your voicing.

I find it interesting how much his sound changed from the studio and live versions of Lotus Flower.
Another brilliant lesson Jamie thanks very much.
Andrew Wright - thanks Andrew 👍🏻
So cool. So nice, too. Thank you. Well, done as usual.
You’re welcome ☺️
Thank You For This Helpful Lesson. Continue Your Amazing Work!
Savage On Sticks - Thanks! Things are only going up from here, don’t worry! 👍🏻

Lock down project started! Thank you!
Anytime 👍🏻
fantastic. that high f# is the alt fingering as other saxoffinists said
I don’t have a high F# key. I guess that’s what you mean.

Sanborn's high F# is high fork F with the Bb trill key to get that grunt, for those that were wondering.
"grunt" lol. Love that description! Thanks for watching and commenting Mark. J:-)
I've always used Fork F with C and the side Bb trill key. Will have to try the Bb trill key and check the difference.
Truly excellent videos, thanks so much for sharing.

Jaime,
How do you achieve that bright, Sanborn sound? Setup, embouchure? Thank you.
Well, that’s a bit of a tough one to answer in a RUclips comment. But these are my set ups. ruclips.net/video/ZdK7VdadkkE/видео.html
Hi Jamie, this is a great tune and sax playing. Have you looked at Modern Love potentially? Regards
Hi Tom. I've Modern Love on my list of tunes to do at some point. Thanks for watching and let me know if there's anything else I can do for you. J😊
Fantastic ! I've got the partition on TomPlay..But..it not includes The Sanborn Sax Solo !! Thanks..
You are welcome
Great tune and lesson! Any other songs this good for alto even exist?
Wow, Stan Getz back from the dead to comment! lol Thanks for watching man. J:-)
@@GetYourSaxTogether lol

Marlon Ralepi - I would recommend going to the Better Sax RUclips channel as Jay has lots of great reviews of saxes.
I would.and thank you so much.
Can we request you do 'Hungry eyes' please?
On the list!
Tks

I think Bowie launched David Sanborn to be honest. If that's not true, I stand corrected. I know I checked him out after hearing him with Bowie.
Pretty sure he had a decent career before Bowie? I’d have to check that.
@@GetYourSaxTogether I'm sure that's right, just that I was not aware of his work prior to that. I checked his jazz recordings out though from hearing him on this record.
cool metal high baffle piece would be even more ds. thanks!
Sure thing! Thanks for watching and let me know if there's anything else I can do for you. J😊
@Stan Getz...it's not necessary to use a cool metal high baffle piece, you can achieve the same type tone/sound with a HR mpc...Tell him Get Your Sax Together!
neither one of us, please
Not sure what you mean, but thanks for the comment.
