Transcription of the clarinet and tenor sax solos on Blue and Sentimental by Count Basie, as played by the Triangle Youth Jazz Ensemble at Essentially Ellington 2022. I just recently heard this recording, and both these solos are incredible. I seriously feel nostalgic about them despite having heard them very few times. I hope you enjoy the video!
Soloists:
Sean McCoy (Clarinet)
Zeb Jewell-Alibhai (Tenor Sax)
Original: • Essentially Ellington ...

@darrenmorales3885 Год назад

Less Is more. Either long bend a part of a phrase or short bends across phrases. Too much of both leads to unbalanced melody. Melody is key when playing lines like this.

It's funny I actually don't listen to much Hodges at all. The main inspiration for this solo was Herschel Evans. I've checked out a lot of Ben Webster in the past, but if I'm honest not much Hodges!

It's a real pleasure to see all these young people rethinking the music of the 'old' ones. With good taste and sensitivity. The clarinet sounds sometimes like PW Russell in the high notes and the tenor solo is of a very high level. We are on the right track with this new generation who not only know the 'tradition' but are also able and aware to bring new things. Congratulations to all of you.😀

@alexacosta2140 Год назад

The old ones are the ones who had a pragmatic approach to music. Whenever I learn their music, I feel as if I gain better context on how music works as a whole.
