I honestly don’t know which one I prefer. Even though that’s not what this is about. Both of you have your own way of playing. I loved it, I was captivated the whole way through!

[@DavePollack]

Thanks so much! I love that we can both but our spin on a tune and have it work out so well.

[@bohme3334]

Omggg, Saxologic, love your vids, broo

[@sorenfuhrer401]

four years ago? omg. I keep coming back to it every now and then and listen to it on a loop - pure magic....no wait...imagination ;)

[@DavePollack]

Thank you!!

[@norahkluis]

so amazing to see and hear the nuances of you two!!! beautiful, play with heart is so like a frequency that comes direct to our hearts with full moonlight covering it!!! love it! Greatings from Brasil en Holland. Thank you both!

[@DavePollack]

Thank you so very much!

[@Errordemn6]

Wow.

[@jimcheek304]

Sounds beautiful Dave, and if I'm not mistaken, the sound you make on the 10M Fan piece on the same tune is even more incredible. I got sent a link to this by Mark Sepunick.

[@DavePollack]

I really appreciate that! Thanks so much.

[@independentmind1977]

Wow, instant sub. Definitely very unique styles, and I gotta say you were both on fire! 05:00 Jeff sees squirrel running outside....SQUIRRELLLLL!!!

[@DavePollack]

Hahahah!! Thanks so much.

[@ericwmusic4738]

I watched this yesterday and have it now on loop. Couldn’t help but try it myself, of course no where close to this beautiful take!

[@TonyAguirreJazz]

The approach notes to the melody are very tasteful

[@DavePollack]

Thank you so much!! Really appreciate it.

[@kuyaadriann]

Dave Pollack PLEASE come down to visit Queensland, Australia some time in the near future! Also with Jeff if he’s keen

[@DavePollack]

I'm hoping to come back either this year or next! Any specific places you'd want me to play?

[@kuyaadriann]

Doo Bop Jazz Bar, the Brisbane Jazz Club or JMI Live would be my top 3 here in Brisbane!

[@DavePollack]

Awesome! Thanks for the info. I will be back at some point, just not sure exactly when. When I come I will be setting up a bunch of performances and also lessons and masterclasses.

[@spacecowboy5264]

this is brilliant

[@DavePollack]

Thank you!!

[@spacecowboy5264]

Dave Pollack no problem, talent like this deserves more recognition

[@g-ville7012]

Pretty cool version. Would love to see these two try and do "Ebony and Ivory" version. Might be neat.

[@kasperkat454]

You guys are great

[@ninjalightning2631]

Just lovely , please help where can I get this backing track?

[@bigdaddysylas4194]

At 1:33 seconds what was those low notes you played
Btw that blew my mind

[@tvattima]

Very nice playing, gentlemen. Is that backing track available?

[@DavePollack]

Thanks! It's just from the app irealpro - we didn't make it

[@tvattima]

@@DavePollack thank you Dave!

[@cagdeorok]

you guys are fantastic

[@Here4TheSax]

Hey Dave,
Again! Love your tone man. You on the 10mfan? On this one?
I have a jazz recital coming up at my college, thinking I'm adding this to the set list.
P.S half way through transcribing your tenor solo on "flourish" some tough lines in there lol.
Best!
-Fernando

[@DavePollack]

On this one I'm on my Meyer. It's a great tune! I definitely recommend it. Let me know when you finish that transcription! That's so cool that you're doing it.

[@diegofecchio]

Hey, what a sound... thanks 4 this beautiful performance...
What method or platform did u use to do this recording? Thank you

[@DavePollack]

Thanks! I use Logic to edit audio and Final Cut for video.

[@PokeMinerNate]

Could I get a link for a lead sheet and backing track?

[@DavePollack]

Lead sheet can be found here - www.guitarcats.com/realbook-jazz-standards/pure-imagination
And for the backing track I just used iRealPro

[@SAXMOLOGY]

Has anyone asked, is the music and soundtrack available?

[@tvattima]

Dave, on this backing track - which has such a nice groove - what piano/bass/drum choices did you set?

[@ten_brambor]

Can I get a notes transcription for it... Please? 😍

[@PRDCATV]

Onde conseguiu essa backtrack?

[@shazamxlogan1183]

What’s the background music?

[@DavePollack]

Just an iRealPro backing track

[@aidenharkley5257]

who dislikes this, I will fight you right now lol

[@DavePollack]

Hahaha!

[@kuyaadriann]

How in the hell do you record in time with each other from half-way across the world?? Please tell

[@DavePollack]

Magic
:)

[@sheepshiftsheetsplit4322]

Pure imagination

[@jakeensor6251]

The other link to the backtrack didn’t take me anywhere, is it possible to link this again? Thank you!

[@DavePollack]

Jake Ensor what backing track? Don’t remember what you’re referencing.

[@jakeensor6251]

Dave Pollack The piano cover in the background of this video. Is it possible that you link it?

[@jakeensor6251]

Dave Pollack also, thank you for the quick response. I have a performance coming up, so I appreciate it.

[@DavePollack]

@@jakeensor6251 It's from iRealPro, so it's not a stock backing track. If you have that app (I highly recommend purchasing it) just make sure you have the 1300 (I think it's that amount now) Jazz songs and you'll be good to go. If you can't get it, just search RUclips for a backing track for it - I think there are a few out there.

[@sequoyahcisneros8719]

Really nice, oh wait he can't hear me, he has airpods...

[@DavePollack]

Much appreciated!

[@llnirvanallsottile9896]

Backing track??

irealpro

[@lean_alto]

How to sound sexy in sax? I've been playing for 9 years 😭😭😭

[@baltazaar4078]

First, listen to Your favourite saxophonist and try to repeat what he/she played. Create in mind a vision of Your uniqe sound and try to realise. Remember sound is in Your head. Not in gear.

the only good parts were tone quality and the the dude on the left
