- Transcription of the clarinet and tenor sax solos on Blue and Sentimental by Count Basie, as played by the Triangle Youth Jazz Ensemble at Essentially Ellington 2022. I just recently heard this recording, and both these solos are incredible. I seriously feel nostalgic about them despite having heard them very few times. I hope you enjoy the video!
Soloists:
Sean McCoy (Clarinet)
Zeb Jewell-Alibhai (Tenor Sax)
Original: • Essentially Ellington ...

Lol that's me on tenor. Pretty sure that's the first time anyone's transcribed me.
Dude, you sound great. I've been playing for 30 years and I'm really impressed with your time, intonation, phrasing, stylistic choices. Keep it up man!
Good job
You sound amazing man. The amount of times I keep replaying this song and having it on loop is just astronomical. I love the sound quality of that saxophone. Just absolutely beautiful. Also, congrats on your awards. That’s insane bro!
yea zeb!
Oh my god that’s so awesome. I’m new to tenor and if I can even mimic a fraction of your skill and talent my life will be complete. Your playing is absolutely immaculate oml
holy moly the tenor nailed it
Thanks! I appreciate it
we found him boys
Absolutely! Totally insane for his age!!
Goosebumps
@@zebjazz what mouthpiece did you use here? You sound so good on it. One of the best highschool solos I’ve ever heard
I too love the fallout series.
Jokes aside, the tone on the clarinet and tenor sax is fucking IMMACULATE
@@austinsmallwood151 all the music you can play on the in game radio is 20-40s music, so very similiar vibe to what is being played here.
I play both the clarinet and saxophone and imo the clarinet here wasnt impressive at all but the tenor sax was absolutely beautiful

@@britisharmedforcesmilsim3015 a nerd face because someone was correct? zoomers have weird humour, he's not even trying to sound smart at all, its just the original comment had no clue what they were saying, the clarinet here is lame as fuck, is that more in words you can understand?
@@700lbsripped7 🤓
damn the clarinet solo was awesome. He was a little embarrassed by the split tone at the end but had no need to be. It gave it character
yeah he laughed but i found it very tasteful. some of the best moments are accidental in music :D (ehh not some, most perhaps)
Great solo, but his tone needs some work.
???????@@pikachuchujelly7628
@@pikachuchujelly7628 nah that tone was on point
Holy shit this guy listens to Johnny Hodges, and you can tell in more ways than just the bending.
And Ben Webster
Less Is more. Either long bend a part of a phrase or short bends across phrases. Too much of both leads to unbalanced melody. Melody is key when playing lines like this.
It's funny I actually don't listen to much Hodges at all. The main inspiration for this solo was Herschel Evans. I've checked out a lot of Ben Webster in the past, but if I'm honest not much Hodges!
@@zebjazz i enjoy listening to you play
@@zebjazz that’s interesting. I hear a lot of his all of me solo in this recording especially.
I’m a guitarist but man do I love the saxophone.
sax is a great thing
Why not do both?
@@spinach6122 I would probably pass out. I dont have the lungs.
@@dananthony6258 Saxophone is actually more of a laid back and easy going instrument, its more so about the quality of the air than the quantity, if you ever feel like passing out while playing you are probably doing it wrong. You should give it a try! Its definitely not easy, im in college and my air control definitely still needs some work, but your lungs shouldn’t be a problem if you’re interested in learning it
@@claytongreenlee7808 how much are they normally
It's a real pleasure to see all these young people rethinking the music of the 'old' ones. With good taste and sensitivity. The clarinet sounds sometimes like PW Russell in the high notes and the tenor solo is of a very high level. We are on the right track with this new generation who not only know the 'tradition' but are also able and aware to bring new things.
Congratulations to all of you.😀
The old ones are the ones who had a pragmatic approach to music. Whenever I learn their music, I feel as if I gain better context on how music works as a whole.
Rethinking? No. They're custodians dusting off museum pieces. But they're really good at dusting off.
we’re just trying to keep it alive man
I have hope in gen z. Us millennials are morons. Remember to vote conservative.
@@LoquaciousLemonade cool
Tenor has been doing his Johnny Hodges homework! Those bends are smooth as butter
in a reply above the tenor says who influenced him more
and some Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young bits here and there
that clarinet dude was at my all state clinic in may! he was the first chair alto sax and his tone was absolutely amazing
no
jk yes
bro all state gang i was there too, bro i forgot ur guys names but im the indian 3rd chair guy. and bruh ur insane on clarinet
@@peeveeveejay6588 i was the guy that did the story
@@jacksonv.1410 what instrument were u, u were the flute guy
That tenor solo is one of the most beautiful solos I’ve ever heard
And hes just as good on trumpet
Reminded me of Ben Webster. You might like it.
The clarinet. Holy shit. Like wow. That was probably one of the best jazz clarinet performances I’ve ever heard.
this was my exact reaction. It sounded literally so good
Artie Shaw better
It's a great solo, but his tone is really bad.
@@pikachuchujelly7628bro are you ragebaiting or smth ur reply is on every comment
I just don't like his tone. Sorry.
That is a PHAT gorgeous tenor sound oh my!!!
Thanks man!
Tenor sounds straight out of the Harry James band. Killed it!
What is tenor?
@@barrington2716 The tenor sax
1:08 my body melts from these bends
THATS ME WHATTTT THANKS DUDE WHATTTT
the 2 1/2 rico reed did me nice
good stuff bro 😎
dude your tone is waaaay ahead other HS players dude crazy you get that tone out of a basic rico
Congrats bro
holy hell you did amazing dude, amazing control
This is beautiful to me. I don't feel it like nostalgic, I only feel a soft sense of love and cuteness between a special person.
Feels like a Disney song
thats such a fun lovely way to describe it
@@All-ze9cl there we go
0:17 my boy on the back DID feel the stank tho
whoooo, i love the clarinet player. wicked tone, i hope i have the opportunity to play jazz clarinet this year in high school. we did a late 40s style musical and i was playing for the pit, it was my first real exposure to playing jazz, it was the most fun ive ever had playing clarinet easily.
There are no words to describe how beautiful this is
I listened to this several times non-stop, what a great music.
HEHEHEHA
@@tianarmas1665 put your d away Waltuh
@@tianarmas1665 waltuh I'm not having sex rn
i found you on a non classical music video wassup
Amazing tenor tone, amazing phrasing, articulation and VIBE. The guy nailed it
0:31 the lick: double lick variation
Marvelous performance...also trumbone guy in the back 0:16 I hope your life is filled with beautiful nasty feelings and events as much as you enjoyed at that moment
If anybody wants to listen to the original version this is based on, it’s the Count Basie orchestra recording in 1938 of “Blue and Sentimental” with Herschel Evans on tenor and Lester Young playing a rare clarinet solo.
That blew my mind! Wow, I haven't heard such smooth playing in years. Beautiful.
I pooed my pants in nostalgia
1:01 this part sounds like it's straight out of "Everywhere at the end of time"
The amount of times I've watched this video... I've memorized how to play the solo on my clarinet and tenor sax lol. I'm constantly playing it during my band period and I CAN'T STOP! It's so good
I’m a proud alum of this group. Gotta give it up for the director Dr. Gregg Gelb
Really new to jazz and tenor (played alto before) and I have a goal now: IF I CAN MIMIC EVEN A FRACTION OF HIS POWER MY LIFE WILL BE COMPLETE.
Los Angeles, 1964
Night is dark, so is my heart. Whisky ain't making things better..
Holy crap that clarinet solo was so insane!
As a fellow tenor saxist, this dude gives me chills. He’s so good at playing his solo.
You wouldn’t believe how incredible it was live.
life is worth living because i got to listen to this guys' solos
I forgot where I heard this, but it’s very rare to hear a “Smoky Tenor”. And my God this Kid knocked it outta the park. Got the right slurs of bright notes down lock-and-key! Brilliantly done, and well executed.
“Not too Smoky that you can’t make out the Speed Limit, but just enough to make out the Town you’re in…”
-- Someone In My Memory
That was impressive! It was really cool. I played tenor sax in high school. When I graduated, I left it behind. I always kind of regretted it. After what seems like 100 years, I started to learn the soprano sax. It's amazing what comes back to you after a long lapse of time. I fotgot how much fun it was.
To be so good, so young!
I think I just listened to the tenor solo like 7 times. Those were some SEXY licks
That tenor, I want to be able to produce that sound
Genetic is a b*tch my friend.
Excellent playing.
May not be perfection (which is sometimes overrated), but they are feeling the music (which is sometimes underrated) - Behind these guys is a good teacher.
Its jazz, if youre playing it "perfect" youre doing it wrong
Dr. Gregg Gelb, the best
I love music that you can absolutely feel, something that just makes you want to move and shake to the rhythm. I can’t explain the amount of times I replayed this, it was AMAZING.
How nostalgic can you play?
Tenor sax: YES
Dead meme.
I just melt watching these. So young and talented, my goodness.
The clip just got better and better 😂 superb musicians and heck audience too, their applause was timed beautifully.
im literally in tears this is so pretty 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This is fire ... Wow I really hope generations continue to give jazz it's deserved place!
The clarinet player is a doctor now, Dr. McCoy
It's hard to explain but that tenor plays the saxophone like HE IS THE SAXOPHONE.
♥
I knew so many kids like these that were incredible and then dropped playing after high school for one reason or another, and it's heartbreaking.
I really wish schools put more into music programs. I got lucky, but a lot don't.
That tenor sax dude is awesome. Well done !
Man, that Violin player played perfectly.
*[Just A Burning Memory starts playing]*
What is Just a Burning Memory? It sounds familiar but i dont seem to remember what it is.
@@Lucas-pd2hk
Hmm... I can't seem to remember what it is either.
@@Lucas-pd2hk self describing comment
LOL FAM I WAS THINKING AN EMPTY BLISS TOOOOOOO
Gorgeous tone, god blessed you.
I really adore this kind of music, I think it's above any other kind of music
You are all brilliant! 🎷🙏🎷🙏🎷🙏🎷
Oh my god that was beautiful. My guys out here killing it.
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME
That music just hits hard. the swings and the tone are ABSOLUTLY INCREDIBLE!
I love this chart, one of my favorite Basie tunes
this is absolutely excellent
it’s always the DULL ass sax that lays down the butteriest tone
this sounds amazing
That’s authentic asf. Wow, excellent craftsmanship all of you!!
Maravillosa interpretación, felicitaciones!!!
gave me chills man
man ever since ive found this video i cant help it but rewatch it everytime i open youtube
Classic! So good
Holy crap what a sound, great work man
Beast, on the tenor man. Sounds amazing!
God damn playing so relaxed his spine could fall out.
love this
lovely
Beautiful sound on the tenor sax. For some reason, very few sax players seem to be able to get a great tone like that today.
Yo that was so good
Fun fact that tenor also plays trumpet and won an award for doubling
Indeed I did
@@zebjazz legend
This performance literally made me cry before it was so beautiful
Amazing ❤❤❤
DAMNNNN, that sax is friggin stunning.
fantastic
This is incredible.
Imma steal that pentatonic lick on the last bar
Oh jeez the tenor was absolutely beautiful AND THE CLARINET??? I can’t get over how great the two sounded, and that split tone for the clarinet definitely made it better don’t care what anyone says 🙏
That sax was perfection.
Holy shit I could watch this on loop forever ❤
Very nice! Well played!
The Tone so great with vintage Tenor saxo.👍
They’re so good
Great solos
Impresionante!!!
I can’t get over the tone it’s so soft
That was SAWEET! Both soloists were fantastic, the tenor had fantastic tone. I've always loved a smooth smokey tenor sax, this one had it all over the place.
I wonder if this piece would induce nostalgia/melancholy in someone who never before knew of anything related to european/american culture, like a monk in tibet or maybe congolese tribesmen. Is it something intrinsic in the music that makes us interpret it this way or is it just our own life experiences?
This kinda just sounds gay to me
didnt know I needed to hear this, that was fucking awesome
Goosebumps
chills bruh...
outstanding
oh how i'd love to learn to play jazz music.
I’m so jealous. I’m very very amazed by these players and I hope one day I’ll be as good
Very well done.
