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.'
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! 🙏🏽
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.
Nice one Jamie, as I don’t own or play sax, I’ll frustrate myself trying to play it on guitar, or mandolin for extra points! 8f you’re ever in Scotlandshire give me a shout
Oh man, Jamie, just tried this and its got my lower lip beat up a bit. But i can hear the difference as i try to speed up (losing my breathe 😶🌫😵💫🫁and dizzy 🤣) Awesome lesson Jamie!👍
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 !
#getyoursaxtogether Mr Jamie Anderson, Wow! Powerful intro on your video: you really pull us in … wonderful succinct points, audio + visual + examples! I appreciate the time and energy you put in: all the work you do that we *do *not see! And, the insights and tutelage in the rest of this wonderful video. hug 🫂 Dr D

@@user-ks3ol3lw3b a reasonable point!!
What a remarkable breakdown of a moment in time, that changed everything, that I would have never considered.
Cheers Baz! 😉
Great editing! is it fair to say this is what a revolutionary moment in music looks like?
Absolutely!

Glad you enjoyed it! 👍🏻

What a great share, thanks!
thank you for your work and your joy
My pleasure! 😊
Jazz at Massey Hall was the first jazz record I owned. That break has been one of my favorites
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.
great discussion and analysis. Super vid as usual.

I appreciate that, ta. 🙏🏻

Ok, thanks for your thoughts. Appreciated!
Once again your transcript blows my mind. I especially liked the way you framed it at the beginning.
Wow, thank you!
Thank you 🙏🏾
You are so welcome 🙏🏻

Oof! Tough on mando!
Thanks Mr Anderson. It is very informative.
You are very welcome 🙏🏻
I loved this breakdown of this line. You just opened my ears and conceptualization of practice and analysis. This is exciting!
Thanks 🙏🏼
Thanks Jamie. Awesome solo that every sax player tried to play (me too with no such great results 🙂)
You're welcome
Really great video!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you so much for this absolutely brilliant analysis!
🙏
what a great video.. so much knowledge
🙏
How many months did you spend analyzing this solo? Sorry for my english
Ha! Not months at least!
What about the break fromthe Massey Hall concert in Canada ?
If that’s the one that isn’t double time, that’s why I didn’t include it.
Oh man, Jamie, just tried this and its got my lower lip beat up a bit. But i can hear the difference as i try to speed up (losing my breathe 😶🌫😵💫🫁and dizzy 🤣) Awesome lesson Jamie!👍
Ha! Thanks 🙏🏻
Mercy! You put in enough work on this one, didn't you?!?!
We aim to please! 😉
He just shreds
Right?
Great !
Thanks 🙏🏻
I mean this break from the Massey Hall Concert is completel different as far I remember.
Is that the one that isn’t double time?
Awesome! Great analysis & break-down! How did you discover that his solo on all these recordings is the same? Or is this "common bebop knowledge"?
I think it’s kinda well known, but you only have to hear the different takes to see straight away.
very revealing
Thanks! 🙏🏼

Interesting thoughts. I know bird used narrow tips.
