I heard Ben Webster live at Ronnie Scott’s original club in London when I was 18. In a small room his sound and vibrato filled the space and I set next to him. The most beautiful sound I’ve heard.
My first and most powerful noticing of vibrato was hearing Ben Webster play Chelsea Bridge. I was in 6th grade at the time. I have never been the same since. Great video!
Beautyful vibrato and yet all so different: Zoot Sims, Stan Getz, John Coltrane, Dexter Gordon, Ben Webster, Johnny Hodges, Paul Desmond, Scott Hamilton and, yes, I add here Kenny G. who could catch so many listeners through his sound.
Hey! Just recently found your channel and watched an old video about the Claude Delangle Mouthpiece!! You are so funny and sound amazing!!! Took my breath away with that mouthpiece! I have been thinking of upgrading my classical mouthpiece….was given the S90 190 as an option, but wonder if you would suggest a S90 or Claude Delangle for a classical setup?
You sound fabulous on this video, the best I’ve heard you sound. Is that your 56 and Selmer VI. I know you used a 875 for a long time. Did you have any problems with the intonation on the low D. I have one and the low D is really flat.
I know his vibrato is relatively fast for today's sensibilities, but Cannonball's is who I always shoot for. Specifically his tone in Stella by Starlight off of his Great Love Themes with strings. For a more modern, but still traditional vibrato I listen to Bobby Watson.
I, too, like Cannonball’s vibrato. “I’ll Never Stop Loving You” is beautiful. When I first heard it, I could recognize some classic vibrato elements (probably the speed), which was particularly enjoyable.
Another nice video, Wally. There's no shorage of vibrato examples that are absolutely great (your sound included). During some listening I was doing just a few days ago, some vibrato that particularly struck me was Dexter Gordon on Don't Explain. I tried to play along with the master and emulate it and I found it quite challenging. ruclips.net/video/dpjM7wwSTxI/видео.html

Oh my! That's a memory I'd love to have!
Joe Henderson's take on Blood Count is one of my favorites. Love his vibrato and tone.
Thanks! I loved the song.

Ben Webster is such a unique voice, not sure we've had anything close since!
I love Art Pepper's subtle vibrato like on "Why are we afraid?" from the album "Gettin' Together!".
Charlie Parker's "Star Eyes", not the orchestra one, has a fantastic examples of vibrato when he is playing the head
Looking forward to the "Dark like Desmond". I know what I'll be listening to.
Desmond...so dreamy :)

Great lesson! Looking forward to the next in this series on vibrato. Thx.
Thanks, Tom, happy practicing!
I really love your sound!! Dr ...
Hodges!!!! great!!
Thanks for the invaluable advice as always from your channel. BTW love your Doctor Who arrangement. Brilliant!
Thanks Larry, I'm quite proud of that :)
Happy practicing!
FANTASTIC lesson, so useful!
Beginner sax player. Chiming in to thank everyone for the recs. I’ve been enjoying them a ton! Thanks Dr. Wally.

You're so funny I can't concentrate! 😂😂😂
Dankeschön! 🤗🎷🌞
Most welcome my friend, happy practicing!
Hello Dr, is this an Axos? Are you going to do review about it? Please!
Sydney Bechet!
Larry McKenna,Scott Hamilton ……jaw vibrato and yours of course!
Flattery will get you EVERYWHERE :)
When you start the jaw motion, does the jaw go up or down?
slightly up!

Those are great. Cannonball has such an energy and vibrance, I always love it!
Stan Getz!
I'm surprised at the vibrato I can produce in a long practice session (involuntarily, right before I get face cramps and my embouchure gives out).
Careful if you smell burning toast while this is happening...
@@drwallysax 😂😂😂
Boots Randolph, any of his songs
there's a joy in his playing, it's infectious
👍
Scott Hamilton,Kenny Mckenna…
I just started learning how to do vibrato on my alto, but it still sounds like a cars engine not working.
Spring is Here by cannonball aderley is a masterclass of vibrato
ohhh, that's a good one!
Mostly Paul Desmond & Art Pepper. Of course, I like and admire Johnny Hodges immensely, but he can be a bad influence, too.

Dexter is such a unique sound - even his 8th feel is difficult to emulate!
Chet Baker vibrato says as much as his notes.
Saggy.
Jeni, go wait in the car...
