Should You Practice WITHOUT a Metronome?
Переглядів 13 тис.2 місяці тому
I love practicing with a metronome. I can't recommend it highly enough. If you are a saxophone player practicing without a metronome you're doing your self a disservice. However, there are also times when you want to focus on your inner clock, without the assistance of a metronome. I often like to restrict my practicing to something specific to allow me to *practice* being spontaneous with some...

    This short interview taught me a lot. The “legend” of Charlie Parker is that of a man who could barely put a sentence together because he was so obsessed with drugs. Even Ken Burns’ Jazz documentary seemed that way. But this interview shows a thoughtful well-spoken man…

    Thank you so much! I admire so much your playing and I’m trying to get better and better. I started playing the saxophone only three years ago and the first memory of it was to watch one of your videos: you gived me the joy to play more and more every day. Thanks so much for everything (I’m now starting this channel and you are the reason of it): I’ll try to grow more everyday.

    HI BOB. I went to Berklee with you in the 90s. I also play out of the Klose book to this day, only I have a good number of them I do in 12 keys as well. Also highly recommend ALL of the Marcel Mule books, the French school of saxophone playing cannot go ignored.

    Bird is so down to earth, he's not even debatable. Sure, he put in hours of practice and study, but he came out with something that was the work of some kind of superior entity.

    Low register is pure gold, and It seems to "sing" a little bit more in the middle/high register than the hard rubber one.. and the articulation seems a little bit more accurate (is it possible..?), seems that the airflow hits the reed instantly, with ease.. IMHO Thanks Bob for all of these, so inspiring.

    Dear Bob, First of all, great video! I'm writing to you because I don't know how to articulate myself. Should I stick my tongue on the reed on weak beats? Should I articulate in pairs on the strong beats going up and on the weak beats in a descending phrase as Chad Lb explains? Thanks for your answer and for everything you do! You're really great!

    Seriously you sound killing on that metal Link. Just a side note on the mouthpiece situation - you've gotten so used to your old piece, but now you're beginning to open up to different possibilities you never knew you could have. In any case, glad to know you're having fun with it somehow.

    This was the first Sinatra album I ever bought, I was being economical and wanted the album with the most songs on it. Eventually I collected all of his albums but this is still one of my favorites. Sinatra with a straight up jazz big band is as good as it gets.

    Hi Bob. I have always found that the standard Otto Link lig is the main issue. It’s actually dreadful. Try anything else that fits and it makes the Link a totally different animal. Wimslow ligs work great if you can get hold of one, but honestly anything that holds the reed is an improvement! Best wishes.
