Hello from which part of the book do the phrases in the slow and rubato part of the video are extracted from ? I bought your book Theasurus of bebop but I could not find any of them ?
I have been calling this the Sweet Georgia Brown Pentatonic to my students for all these years! It is the second phrase (measures 5-8) as played over a dominant chord. Basically, you just flat the 3rd of the major pentatonic scale(measures 1-4). Check out Sweet Georgia Brown! However, it is used quite a lot in Gypsy Jazz because Django favored the minor 6/9 chord flavor so much. Whatever you want to call it, great video! Cheers
I ask Joe Viola for lessons and he didn't have time for me. I learn all his book anyway. You just learn their book. David Chesky had a good book he never made any money off of This guy is playi8ng pretty good. He probably study with Joe Viola at Berklee in Boston, MA. See how he makes his intonation. It's hared to do on that horn.
yes, I had a few classes with Joe. However my best sound teacher by far was the awesome Mariano Rey in Buenos Aires. He really knows about sound production and delicacy. I studied clarinet with him for a period of time and applied what I could to the sax.
I would propose a step 4. Repeating step 3 but around 10-20 bpm faster than performance tempo. Running through this a few times, then dropping to performance tempo one more time. Something about doing this tricks the brain into perceiving the performance tempo as more manageable. One of my teachers called it “practicing until the wheels fall off”.
Are my ears or eyes playing tricks or are u actually playing in Bb? Well I know it's a Bb horn, but the notation is in Bb, not C like u normally do? I've always wondered why u did that actually... My thing is: u should play in ur key and if cats wanna learn it on their shit, they can transpose it themselves. Maybe they get 2 lessons out of that: your hot ass scales and a transposition lesson. Make sense or do I sound like a motherfucker?
Great exercises. Now you should make some that reflect going through some changes in his style. This is my first video of yours I have seen, so pardon me if you have already done my suggestion. Keep up the great work.
"you cannot crticise and feel good. you can never look at the absence of something and be in alignment with who you are’" Understand these words and you will live a happier life I promise. Good luck
Io trovo questi esercizi interessanti ed utili. Certo che l'ascolto dei grandi maestri del bebop è una scuola formidabile e una fonte inesauribile di idee bellissime. Dire che questi esercizi fanno schifo mi sembra piuttosto azzardato.

Adorei a música e para mim que estou começando a estudar leitura musical e clarinete será um grande passo adiante se conseguir ler e executar este dueto (até agora só tenho tocado músicas para um só clarinete). Mas então, quando fui copiar está partitura percebí que a música começa muito antes do que o que está escrito apareça. Seria bem melhor se a partitura viesse escrita integralmente desde o início.
