Back in the 1980s I studied with a saxophone teacher named Ira Jackson in NYC. During one of my Saturday afternoon lessons Charles stopped by to visit Ira. They knew each other growing up in Detroit. Charles was in town performing at the Village Vanguard. During his visit he gave me pointers on mouthpieces, reeds and developing a sound.
Passing the knowledge on.

Hello! Can you explain please in detail what exactly you are practicing here? After I had studied the scales and patterns from video part 5, what should I practice after that and what backing tracks should I use for this? I understand what patterns you play there but I don't understand what backing tracks you are using. What is the purpose of that kind of practice? Thanks
