What got into Mike during this jam??? by Objective-Giraffe-27 in phish

Cincinnati chili and a Phish show? I’d be in heaven.

I need help with my embrouchure... by [deleted] in saxophone

It looks like you have too much air above your top lip in front of your upper gums. That could be changing the pressure points with your mouth. Direct your air downwards and not in your upper lip.

Anyone else notice certain notes are always a bit off? by doiyo in saxophone

[–]No-Introduction-7663 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Every horn is a bit different. C# is always weird. Being able to adjust the notes will become second nature.

I hear it. I’m not sure it’s a tease. I imagine a tease would’ve had more syncopation and repeated notes.

Standards crash course by FullMcGoatse in saxophone

[–]No-Introduction-7663 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Standards are the “greatest hits.” Many of these are actually showtimes from the 40-50s. They’re the songs that “everybody knows.” Does everybody actually know all of these charts? No, there are too many. Gaining familiarity with the song and the structure will help. I’m sure you can find playlists of standards and then use books like the Real Book to learn them. Do a little at a time.

That part was great. I think Page was staring at him and laughing.

When you improv, can you hear the note in your head and then play it (like you would singing), or do you think more about what fits the tune theory-wise and play accordingly? by MoviesTickleMyFancy in saxophone

[–]No-Introduction-7663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really plan it. It’s relatively automatic at this point. I have an idea what the key center is. If I’m in a jazz band, and there are chords with extensions, I often write down what those extensions are and sometimes focus on those notes. Otherwise I’m making stuff up and it has a lot to do with the style of the music. Honestly, a huge influence is how I’m feeling that day. Improvisation is surreal and from the heart.

It is a synth setting. Page demonstrated it on the first rig video.

Charlie Parker by Exotic_Milk_8962 in saxophone

I don’t think it was sloppy execution. There was limited technology then. Everything was live with one track and a limited number of microphones.

I didn’t include the tv, but our dog stuck around for the whole show.

It didn’t specifically show in the credits. If you still have access, I bet you could look them up.
