    Thanks for this!
    "Winelight" changed my life! It's the album that made me fall in love with playing saxophone way back in 1980/81.
    A few years later, when I was living in the student dorms at university, a few guys would borrow my copy (cassette tape) of "Winelight" for their date nights. So maybe -- just maybe -- it changed a few other lives too.

    Jamie, I've been having trouble to expand range from c5 up...(when you start pressing the octave key) I got A and B and even C with scales and long tones, but pressing the keys for D5 actually kicks back the air pressure, you can feel it... assuming you're in the same blow/breath. If I pause on the transition, I loose the weight and/or embouchure for high notes, which results in the sound of a D4 again...

    • @GetYourSaxTogether
      @GetYourSaxTogether  3 года назад +1

      Yeh, just make sure you're supporting the sound with enough breath and try and hear the note in your head.

    One the top 5 songs with sax for me.
    Grover Washington is probably my favourite influence. His solo from around 3.03 after the little mermaid instrument thing is iconic. His velvety sound, wide use of the horn and flow is just iconic.
    Any chance of a Just the two of us part 2 for the solo part Jamie? 😊

    Thanks for the video! On my alto I'm having some trouble with phrases 2 and 3 of the low part. In phrase 2 I can't seem to make the C low enough to fit in with the other notes. I'm having the same issue with Db and Bb in phrase 3. Those notes sound awkwardly high next to the rest of the low part. Is this a problem with my embouchure? Any tips on how to get those notes lower?

    • @GetYourSaxTogether
      @GetYourSaxTogether  3 года назад +2

      Cos it was played on tenor it doesn’t really work on alto on the low one. Nobody would play that on alto. Keep it up the octave, that’s my advice.
