I've come back to this masterclass so many times over the years and got a little more out of it. What a great player and very good man. We will miss you, David. ❤
I always soaked my reeds. I had a YS62 and a Selmer Mark 6 without a High F# key the YS62 had a much brighter sound and the high F# Key. The Selmer had a much deeper sound. I preferred the Yamaha. The Selmer I would have to play a forked F# which is hard compared to the F# key at the top.
Since it wasn't on Part 2, can someone tell me what he said he does when he finds a leaky pad, after "putting a little bit of water on it"? Very frustrating that it cut off right at that moment, then not anywhere to be found. Anyone know what he said after that? Thanks...
StevenCharlesJazz Water or any humidity will cause the pad to swell so most likely he was going to say he puts water on the pad so it will expand and the presses it down firmly for a few minutes so it will seal against the tone hole properly. Again I am just guessing but this is most likely. Also this process would not be a permanent solution but could get you by for the gig depending how long it lasts but when the pad dries out the leak will return!
I love you Dave. Correct me if Im wrong: youre in the Selmer Factory as a featured guest at a clinic, dont you think they would have fixed your broken spring for you? Rubber bands?
guys come on, charlie parker and those cats were great, but that doesn't mean that artists today can't be "masters" as well. charlie parker was probably the greatest sax player who lived, but that doesn't make sanborn any worse. I personally dont like sanborn, but I still respect him as a great sax player
Oh what skill it would have taken to applaud and keep smoothing shooting your video documentary including a quick look at the Amazing Gilbert Goldstien. Another option is to whistle your Props... like you're just someone in the crowd applauding in your own way yet keeping the lens on the subject ,but, with near mic sounds that could make for a loud audio of a whistle..so..you tone it down to blend into the others applause....a true art...backward sight is 20/20 ! hee hee AWESOME VIDEO...thesamc
