    It was common in those years to play set solos. Guys were working multiple sets per night, multiple nights per week. No one seriously thought that anyone could create new solos every time. So everyone worked out solos and then based a given performance off them. Also, once audiences heard the recorded version, they went to clubs to hear it played live.

      @@GetYourSaxTogether If you listen to the alternate take of Giant Steps, you'll hear Trane play some of the runs exactly the same. It was his own tune, and he had obviously been working out how to get through it. And it came out brilliantly.
      Supposedly, Moment's Notice was named because one of the cats on the session was angry that he was expected to play over those changes at that tempo without preparation 'at a moment's notice.'

    What a remarkable breakdown of a moment in time, that changed everything, that I would have never considered.

    That was fabulous, I can't even think that fast, never mind play it! Charlie Parker was a true original...thanks for the breakdown, I kind of like it slowed down too, you can hear the phrases more clearly.Thanks Jamie!

    Thanks for that video. I like the 1942 Version of the Interlude Track by Sarah Vaughan of this song and there is no Saxophon Break like this. It is still a genius track😂 Love, peace and harmony Bernward

    Wholly Holy smokes , Thank you. I was 16 aka 50 years ago when I got the Lp that had that. Like the many of you I picked up the tone arm and played it over and over and over scores of times. Never dreamed I’d come across anything like what you’ve done here. Crazy cool! 🙏🏽

      @GetYourSaxTogether  Год назад +1

      Yup, killer. If memory serves that might be one of the ones where the song tempo itself is much higher and his break isn’t double time.

    A great video, very clever put together. Whether he's improvising or not, is not so important as long as he has made the lick himself. Another thing is that the solo is more impressive than nice.

      I think it’s kinda well known, but you only have to hear the different takes to see straight away.

    But his embouchure never varies , the aperture of his mouthpiece cannot be very wide for him to be able to tongue so fast and rapidly with no puffing of cheeks and constant full breath strength, unlike Sonny Stitt , having seen live video of both players !
