Great stuff! That is an idea that is simultaneously beautiful, useful, and that I have never thought of before. Time well spent watching this:)

Triads over bass notes harmonic analysis assuming a tonic function: C (add9) Db/C = Csusb9b13 D/C = Cmaj13#11 Eb/C = C-7 E/C = Cmaj7#5 F/C = C13sus F#/C = C7b5b9 G/C = Cmaj9 (no 3) Ab/C = C7#9b13 A/C = C13b9 Bb/C = C9sus B/C = C°maj7

@SaxophoneSteveKortyka no problem. This was helpful for me! I was using triads for all slash chords except the tonic for this analysis, so for example, there was a doubled C in Ab/C (which you wouldn't want in a voicing).
Minor triads over bass notes harmonic analysis assuming a tonic perspective; C-(add9) C#-/C = C7b9b13 D-/C = C13sus Eb-/C = C-7b5 E-/C = Cmaj7 F-/C = Csusb13 F#-/C = C13b9#11 G-/C = C9 (no 3) G#-/C = C-maj+ A-/C = C6 (no 5) Bb-/C = C7susb9 B-/C = Cmaj7#11 (no 3)

I hear so much in that simple exercise! ..there are some Michael Brecker sounds in there..

Absolutely! This really helps me understand how pianists are thinking. Often times they will place triads on top of a shell voicing (13b7) and the sounding result is sonic magic!
Nice, Steve

Thinking of transposing this down to the spatula keys. @drwallysax has an 'Exercise 0' holding a Low Bb pedal and playing a scale to maintain a flexible and relaxed embouchure

Cool - yes every key you put it in will give you unique challenges. There are a lot of cool idiosyncratic things that you can do on the saxophone especially in the keys of Bb, B and C# 😎
Keep doing this and you'll discover a novice version the classical music if India.

Hey! for solo playing this is the quickest way to outline a tonality and change the color of what you're playing. It will also give you a thorough understanding of 'slash' chords and how they relate to traditional harmony or harmony the way it is taught in school. A breakdown could look like this: C = C2 B/C = Cº∆7 Bb/C = C7Sus A/C = C13b9 Ab/C = C-7b6 G/C = C∆9 F#/C = C13b9#11 F/C = C∆11 E/C = C∆7#5 Eb/C = C-7 D/C = C7#11 Db/C = Cø7 If you can play through the exercise from memory, over time all of this information will start to make more sense and become a device that you can apply to your improvisations to emote in a more specific way :)
This seems like a great ear training exercise too! And easily could be extended to minor or diminished triads
@SaxophoneSteveKortyka

Yes indeed! It has helped me make sense of a lot of the 'upper extension' triads that exist on dominant chords with alterations :)
Great! Thanks
