Cannonball Adderley Transcription- Corcovado Alto Sax (bossa nova) 

For those interested to study this amazing Cannonball solo, it's available here: www.musicnotes.com/l/6jGJw If you're looking for that fat Cannonball sound, FIRST practice long tones focus on your air support, embouchure and throat position working properly together. If you like to dive deeper into that, we just released our brand new online school at www.sharpelevenmusic.com where this and much more gets discussed. It includes full saxophone courses, guitar by Timothy, and eartraining is on it's way. There is also plenty free stuff (transcriptions and study material) to check out. But SECONDLY, there is a fourth factor in getting that huge sound like Phil Woods: gear. And as you might know, both of us are really no gearheads, we kinda avoid spending too much time on it. However, you can approach it like us if you made at least 1 time in your life a smart choice in gear, on saxophone for sound that would be mainly the mouthpiece. If you love that fat Cannonball sound, check out the Theo Wanne NY Bros alto mouthpiece, which is based on the old Meyers Cannonball played, but hugely improved: theowanne.com/?affiliate_id=28 This is an affiliation link, and is the first one on gear you'll see on our channel because I really believe in the quality Theo Wanne provides. He has also very interesting articles on how mouthpieces function and work to help you out chosing the best ones for you. You don't pay any more of course, but you would help this channel out a bit by using this link. If you have any questions regarding cannonballs playing here our sound shoot :) Jorre

Absolutely stunning. His phrasing, timing, tone, note choices, incredible.

When somebody plays a solo like that, I just sit in awe. That was poetry in musical form. Wow...

You always do very well done transcriptions. 👍🏼 This solo is absolutely incredible.

Just started on alto. Hoping to have a fraction of this man's ability. Absolutely amazing. 😎🎷

Thank you for you work It's a gift!

Amazing !

Nice job, thank you!

I don't know if you guys are willing. But having a C-transcription of these sax solos would be sweet. If not, I can keep transposing it up a 3rd. So no worries.

Brasil!!!!!

This Cannonball guy transcribed Kenny G a lot, I reckon!

Bo com sempre, joan Catalonia lliure,💕💕💕❤️
