I think their mastery is comparable, it comes down to preference of style. I absolutely love the neatness and lyricism of Herbin, but totally understand how one may prefer the raw edgy and endlessly creative playing of Bartley.
Great solo and what lightness in spite of the fast tempo. Beautiful sound, good taste, varied. Proof that in our time there are still plenty of voices to express themselves through jazz in a personal way. Baptiste Herbin has the style of. Baptiste Herbin. References certainly but he 'cooks' them in his own way and brings new personal things. Thank you for the transcription, it's a very good idea, as well as for sharing your work.
I just have a question, can you improvise like that just by being spontaneous? Or do you have to go through learning phrases and vocabulary? And structure your solo in advance a minimum?
I do not believe that Baptiste plans any solo in advance. It is the accumulation of decades of developing his technique and vocabulary, then complete spontaneity in the moment. However I have heard the same ideas several times over multiple recordings, which tells me that it has been something he has been practicing quite recently. Practicing lines, shapes, patterns, etc, through the keys is absolutely necessary as an improviser. Then as Parker said, once you get on the bandstand you forget all that and just play.
@@danfw9222 For working vocabulary, I'm writing out solos on every jazz standards that i want to work. Not juste one but 10 by change. This is the director of my old music school who gave me this advice.
The only way to describe this is complete mastery of the instrument
Imagine if Bird came back and heard Baptiste. Imagine the two of them swapping choruses!
Bird would quit drugs and start practice 10 hours a day once again 😂
Bird was the greatest alto saxophonist of all time, the inventor of this entire language of modern jazz. Baptiste plays great but be serious 🤣
@@marike1100 Agreed Bird was all those things. An otherworldly genius.
Everyone’s talking about Patrick Bartley and his solo but this solo is highly underrated too.

Absurd mastery of the alto saxophone-wow!

The world owes us Patrick Bartley and Baptiste Herbin trading on this tune.
That's hard...There's no way he could play that perfect articulation and altissimo this fast ...
its baptiste herbin ofc he can
Thanks so much for making this PDF available for free. Fantastic work!

Wow crazy solo and technique! 😱
Was not aware one could play so quickly and cleanly they sounded like midi

Unbelievable!
Very nice stuff Dan

Is this really possible?
if there ever was one to take the GIANT footsteps of Byrd...not well trained ears could almost mistake him...
N1 after charlie parker
