I turned on the live stream version for my young son this morning during breakfast. He said "oh, with Greenblatt." Turns out Tatum visited the middle school band class a few months ago. Tim Hayward's 8th grade band class in NorthJersey. Cool stuff huh?!!
Yes, it is always a good day (Bluesghost:D) when I can hear this music! Fantastic music, and fantastic musicians. The trumpet and sax impresses, so also the bass. Emmet I already know is supergood!
Not sure if I'm right - I could be mishearing, but I've always felt a little thrown off at first by the sound when there is more than one horn, and then I realized maybe it's because in the mixing the pans of the sounds are arranged facing the audience? (ie saxophone on the right hand and trumpet on the left in this video) but when I look at the video it's the opposite 😱or am I imagining things haha
I turned my son onto Alexa this morning. He's an alto player and pianist at 14. But man can she play ! So accomplished. Everyone, really - and all at such a young age. I been striving to play like this for 40 years. Lol
I'm a jazz guitarist and I look to sax players for inspiration, too... I think it's because there's only one way to play a note and you can't rely on visual patterns for your fingers ... you can hold a note as long as your breath holds out too... I see it as being able to "whistle " a great line and it almost comes out like that on sax. However, it has its own difficulties, as you'll know if you ever tried to produce a note by blowing a sax!
@@anfiorscealMuch appreciate your reply, certainly makes sense. And, yes, no instrument is easy! Been trying to sing my solo lines, instead relying on patterns and scales, which of course sound stale and boring.
@dzzy121 Listening to the pros is always dangerous imo. Previous teachers have told me to transcribe great solos to learn, but I always find myself feeling inferior when I do that. Maybe that's part of it? Idk. To practice soloing, I just find a really long backing track on youtube and go; best to learn by doing
@@Maou3 It is dangerous to listen to the professionals, but do not feel inferior, just practice-lacking. As a trumpet player, i find myself trying to steal little things here and there, but what I find most helpful is to try and catch the phrasing, be it rythm and articulation preferably. Oddly enough, i've been listening to guitar players like emily remler or herb ellis for inspiration in melodic soloing or consistent idea expression with the instrument.
@@maxkuitems Sam Jones didn't have the popularity of Paul Chambers but listen to Jones with Cedar Walton. He'll walk you to death, then lay some chops on you.
It's always a good day when Emmet Cohen uploads
True 🐬
Alexa is so original
These guys can all play...it's the real deal.
The more I listen to Alexa the more I like her playing🎷
Alexa’s a good friend of mine. Love her. So sweet and a bad ass player!
U got that right. Just WOW !!!🎷
Alexa is a jazz angel
She's amazing.
Good to see Russell back.
Ikr I wonder what happened tho
@@fv8399 He has his own group and was playing with them.
I am impressed by how Alexa and Tatum play such long runs so synchronously. Dosn't that require much prior practice together?
Emmett is a Melody Machine.
Kyle Poole flicks the sticks like he's throwing a frisbee - cool AF
Her playing is a delightful breath of fresh air ^_^
So you like her playing, even if...

That is awesome to hear! It is so important that young musicians have a chance to meet and listen to really great jazz musicians!

Alexa Tarantino ti amo ❤
Great bass solo!
Wow that trumpet player has some nice phrases and that alto player has a incredible tenor-like tone.
I had the same thought! Such a big sound
Mann, does that cook. 👍👍👍
Groovy....
God I love that tune. So swingin.
Alexa is a monster! Her playing has tons of feeling, and she swings so hard. The whole band is class A!

Very nice. Thanks. toronto canada.
Beautiful! Piano reminiscent of Wynton at times, lovely homage, horns on fire
7:35 that Venus de Milo quote was insane
Anybody knows how he plays that passage at 8:02 ?
Thank you 😎
Yes❤

Des bons solos qui décoiffent !
0:58 bro picked up his bass and didn’t miss a note impressive.
these guys are flippin cool
Sacred!
🔥🔥🔥
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Lots of solo ideas to hone in on thanks to everyone.
3:40 Alexa sprinkling some Johnny Griffin
Emmet's other Unit 7 with Peter Bernstein on guitar: ruclips.net/video/UAzwOse_5eA/видео.htmlsi=OPwMAG2-rwUUcloe
So good! Why do lines seem to flow out of horn players with relative ease? As an aspiring jazz guitar player, creating interesting lines is so hard.

@@dzzy121 if you listen to your favorite solos / a bunch of jazz in general it comes naturally
Yeah Emmet! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
👍🙂
Heart birthday ++++++.....!!!!!!!...........
Breaking out the Wes! His tunes don’t get enough play, especially by non guitar players.
It's actually a Sam Jones tune! I am however too partial to Wes' rendition.
@@maxkuitems Thanks. -- I was reaching for but missing that composer fix -- also applaud with you re Wes' track
In case you may have missed it, Igoler, there is a nice clean and complete transcription of Wes' solo on RUclips.
Channeled through Horace Silver.

Saxophone's player's timing is bit off. Listen to Emmet as he's playing, he'll help you.
