I dont give up improve my tone. I give up this dicussion.
(Bandmaster is not a problem, he knows me a lot of time, and yet he invited me to the test. but even if I did not have this experience, I would wonder how much the saxophonist can change the color of the tone without changing the tool / mp / reed – but I have described it in many different…[Read more]

sxpoet thank you. What you write is all true, but it is quite different from what I ask. The problem is not in dynamics, neither in articulation nor in tune, nor as I sound with other players (the test was without others, I played alone). And it was said that my sound is like a saw / sawmill – a bad tone of color. I do not want to fall into hell…[Read more]

Let me describe it for the last time:
Both of your tracks were recorded on another day, you were in a different mood, you were differnetly warmup, you probably had a different worn reed, maybe you were a bit different in the microphone position, different set of sound filters were on the audio device, it was another temperature and air pressure…[Read more]

Johnny, I understand what you write. But I miss a specific recording where I can listen to how much it is realy possible to change the color of the tone (without changing instrument, mp, reed and of course player :-). Maybe it could be a theme for another lesson?

I’m adding one post, because some of ways will not show you my previous post (there is probably a bug in paging) – thanks to this unnecessary post, you can scroll to the previous page and read it

Sxpoet, thank you for the answer. Yet one thing is for me still unknown: How much can affect the color tone? I.e. the same musician, the same sax and mouthpiece and reed – what results can be achieved in trying to change the color of the tone? That’s why I do not even know what it makes sense to try – what is possible and what is already beyond…[Read more]

Sxpoet, thank you, it is very helpful.

Would you manage to record a tone and examples of how you can change its shape and color? This has been greatly appreciating me for a long time but I have never seen anything like this on the web ….

Johnny, making a “hum” without sound (made up of my vocal cords) is difficult. Or do you mean to make hum with the sound?

sxpoet, it looks reasonable, thanks for the idea

only one: girl from ipanema, old version with Gilberto and Getz (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJkxFhFRFDA)

Johnny, I understand you, and I admit that for $ 19, there’s really a lot of goodies for me. Just here is not everything what I was hoping for ….. and I did not count on the “landing page” what will be available right now and what after some “waiting time” (but you say you will correct – OK) .

But for the songs: the advice “you have the…[Read more]
