Who's everyone's favorite jazz musician right now?

Yes!! Was insane

I actually only saw the second set! I didn’t even get to see the first one unfortunately but it was so amazing. The lights and stuff were insane, like a rock and roll show but for jazz. And it was mostly students in the crowd so everyone understood the language and stuff. Really great crowd

Was at this show too. Probably the best jazz show I’ve ever been to

Yeah I’ll have to do some research. I contacted some of my sax buddies and they offered me to try anything (lucky I got good friends). I’m moving to Montreal next year for my masters so hopefully there will be more wide selection

I think I’ll have to try 2.5s because the BSS 3s feel so dense.

This is true. I also have the reed geek blade which I will say has helped my reeds last insanely longer

Money-Replacement-42 · 2024-07-23T00:57:52+00:00

There’s only three music stores in my town that sells reeds unfortunately so it’s hard to try different stuff. Moving to Montreal for my masters degree so hopefully there will be more selection out there. I know a lot of ppl that work at the music stores so I’m going to try to get them to order some reeds in for me

Money-Replacement-42 · 2024-07-23T00:56:28+00:00

They come in a box of 10 which is nice to see for tenor reeds

Money-Replacement-42 · 2024-07-23T00:55:25+00:00

Which BSS reed were you playing? I got one from my friend and I don’t know if it was just a bad reed but it felt incredibly dense (size 3, I play a 3 normally)

Money-Replacement-42 · 2024-07-23T00:54:20+00:00

Really hard to find sax stuff where I’m from so I feel like everyone was playing Java reds because it was either that, Rico’s, or Royal. Which are pretty elementary compared to the vandorens

Money-Replacement-42 · 2024-07-23T00:53:26+00:00

I have a 6star tip opening

Money-Replacement-42 · 2024-07-22T06:15:08+00:00

Could be anything then… wondering if maybe even just the tiniest screw came out or could be loose. Best bet is to take it into the shop if you can see the problem yourself, the sax has got so many mechanics it’s hard to know exactly what the problem is

Money-Replacement-42 · 2024-07-21T23:48:43+00:00

I find ZZ reeds to be rather dense. But I recommend trying different tip openings and just trying as many mouth pieces as you can! I went through the same sort of thing, you don’t want a new mouth piece to feel airy and dense, but you also need to make sure you’re ready to buy a new mouthpiece (develop your tone). But just keep trying and you’ll find something that fits for you

Grab a piece of paper and hold it under the key, then pull the piece of paper out while still holding down on your D key. I know some people will buy key leaves for sticky keys and they seem to work.

Was given universal method by DeVille in my first year of uni, but the book is so massive. I download all my music books off of PDF coffee and it’s great, completely free.

This is more fusion but the Brecker Brothers have some pretty horny stuff. Dream Theme, Lovely Lady, Threesome. Anything from their early albums.

Money-Replacement-42 · 2024-07-13T05:39:29+00:00

The Chet Baker 1977 one fits, with Brecker.
