Been working heavily on jazz sax lately....

Well, sax in general, but playing in my unit's brass band (tenor right now, probably going to shift to bari in a few months).

So looking up sax videos, and I found this gem....

Starts out with an explanation and demonstration of how "easy" it is to play overtones on a tenor sax, and then around five minutes transitions to some sweet jazz ALTO CLARINET (slap tonguing all the way!)!!!

Lenny Pickett everyone. Lenny-freakin-Pickett!

Enjoy!

Retired, playing more sax than clarinet, but still playing clarinet and still loving it!

Great video of Lennie doing his high notes. I saw him in Boulder playing with Tower of Power in 1974 and he was amazing. I also play sax and played in a military band. This video is great for covering the saxophone, and is put out by the Army.

It really helps to have a small chamber mouthpiece with a very high baffle for Al Tissimo work.
