12:28 excellent breakdown of how to learn to phrase. Would you please tell me what device are you using to slow down the music in order to be able to learn it? Thank you.
what software are you using to playback the song? messing around with youtube or spotify while trying to play a track is one of the most frustrating things...
US sax players: who's overrated/underrated Taste is indeed subjective but the realities/specifics of music are not. Overrated David Murray: howl without any rhythm, it's pretty much heard what he can do. Charles Lloyd: out of tune boring minor pentatonic scales all around Archie Shepp: he could not play in 1964 and has never been able since Anthony Braxton : ugly sounds and ugly sounds and ugly sounds a long chain without any surprise. Kamasi Washington: high school level with horrible sound Shabaka Hutchings: it feels like 100 years of jazz never happened. Here we are back in 1899 in Jamaica Sonny Rollins: his ego destroyed his playing at 36, sorry for him Lee Konitz: has never been able to play with the minimum energy for his sax to sound good John Coltrane after ALS: belief does not justify this self-indulgence Wayne Shorter: record some beautiful compositions wasted by a sloppy playing should have been sanctioned Ornette Coleman: as he said himself before a concert in Paris in 1988, he is especially known 'for playing the saxophone badly' Joshua Redman: mannered, mechanical with a repulsive sound. Composition without interest. Mark Turner: even if everyone repeats that it's good, my opinion will not change: it's boring Joe Lovano: the first time I heard it on a disc with Motian and Frissel I stopped the CD. The other times too. John Zorn: I'm told he's a genius...Ok then I'm a sardine. Underrated Rahsaan Roland Kirk: these albums are remembered as unforgettable festive moments. Gato Barbieri: opened the mind to the dimension, capacity and beauty of the instrument. James Carter: exuberant and spectacular technique bearing the heritage of its predecessors. Albert Ayler: a lit spirit that pierces through a sound and unique compositions from the depths of the ages Sidney Bechet: who had this technique and this power before him? Earl Bostic: an alien player who chose popular music but educated many sax stars Gary Thomas: crushing sound and sci fi compositions, the complete package Pharoah Sanders after Coltrane: left to himself, Sanders was capable of some of the most satisfying music ever to come out of a saxophone. Maceo Parker: powerful sound and flawless sense of rhythm, a model of joy and cheerfulness that has shaped RnB since the 70's David Sanborn: who can boast of having created the sound of modern pop alto sax with such magnificent highs? Steve Coleman: when he doesn't get lost in endless improvisations, he's a magnificent player who knows his BIRD from top to toe, coupled with a very powerful conceptualist Arthur Blythe: a sound that attracts the listener like a magnet Eric Dolphy: so individualistic and personal that no one has ever been able to imitate his tone and playing Jim Pepper: should be canonized just for his album Comin' and Goin'
@@GetYourSaxTogether they are indeed tiny but then I'm a bit OCD: to me they say something else when played like that. Its like a painting by a great master: tiny irregular smears of colour looks like perfect watch when viewed from a distance. if you just change it a little bit the illusion is lost. or rather its that little hint if a inflexion in a voice that makes the meaning change...

Fantastic tutorial as always, Mr Anderson. Very interesting, very useful, very cool. Thank you so much!
You're very welcome!
Marceo is a monster of timing. Thank you for great explanation. Marceo is also a great exemple of less is more😊
Absolutely!
Groovy! Details matter to light your solos on🔥!
You got that right!
Love Maceo my favorite Sax player !!🎷🎷
Cool
That is one great video. Super detailed explanation and actionable . Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
This is GREAT. You are so clear!
Thanks 🙏🏻
Great details!
Thanks!
Good job with a very difficult bit of phrasing. Thanks for explaining the details.
You are welcome! 🙏🏻
great lesson, thanks
You are welcome!
Very helpfull! Thank you!
Glad it helps!
Jamie macro is from Kinston NC where I currently live I arranged the sound for a concert at the high cool and went to a party at his house
Awesome man. 👍🏻
Another great lesson Sir! Many thanks for sharing. Cheers from Brazil
My pleasure!
Hello, how to transpose to alto saxophone? Thank you
Up a major 6th interval (9 semitones) from concert pitch.
See Maceo in person is a true musical experience
😮
What mouthpiece are you playing? Thanks
Florida Link 8.
@@GetYourSaxTogether the stock one or a vintage piece? Thank you!
@@saxophoneworkout vintage
LOL I grew up with these rhythms, I'm lucky they come easy!!
👍🏻
Can you do a hall of fame video on the two solos in planet of the New Orleans by Dire straits?
Would be amazing
I’ll add it to the list.
I’d like to transcribe the whole piece on my own but can’t seem to find a recording. Everywhere I look has him on alto for cold sweat
It’s part 2 if that helps.
The groove makes all the difference! Then add all the minute phrasing details!
Yup
What song is this from? Thanks
Cold sweat part 2.

Anytune Pro.
is there a pdf for this lesson….
No. The solo is in phrase like a pro though.
Do you ever worry that you won't have enough work because there are too many great saxophonists in the world because your videos are too helpful?
Ha! 🤣
They have to put in the work. Information is not enough.
Dig it
Ta!
I think you said cold sweat but it sounded like something else. Thanks again
Cold sweat part 2
@@GetYourSaxTogether I didn’t know there was a part 2! Thanks for getting back to me.
Some people forget the "rests" between notes and end up changing the tempo or missing out beats
True.
I groove so hard sometimes I hurt my teeth or let go of my mouthpiece 😀😀
Ok! 👌🏻
👍😃
☺️
Maceo on tenor?
Maceo played Baritone , tenor and Alto for James
Yup.
@@GetYourSaxTogether I thought Pee Wee Ellis was tenor man.
@@BassNSax628 he was. Just look it up on wiki - I’m not an expert really.
Mr James Brown screaming
Right?
WT#@##¥#$&, ??????
After watching this , think I'll try to master the one note samba
Ha! 🤣

Interesting list. Not sure I'd put people in "winners and losers" categories. There are a few mentioned that are too sloppy for my taste.
Pretty sure I’ve seen this message before from you. You don’t just periodically copy and paste it do you?
@@GetYourSaxTogether yes!!
@@marktyler3381 its not ''winners'' amd ''loosers''. Read again.
@@rinahall why do you do this? Feels to me like a bid for attention through controversy?
hm. great but...Maceo plays some sixteenths slower than you... the sixteens on beat 3 in first bar is different. you sing right but play it to "hard"
Glad you’re picking up those details!
