Isaac W you could say it’s subjective

Main takeaways from this: 1) classical and jazz sax make very different demands on technique; 2) classical sax doesn't sound like 'sax' - it sounds more like clarinet, horn or even bassoon; and 3) classical sax in tone and phrasing sounds much more like early jazz styles than later jazz styles (after swing). Because modern jazz draws so heavily on jazz from Parker/Gillespie onwards, we seem to have internalized the bop and post-bop sound as what 'sax' sounds like. it doesn't have to be that way.

That’s what a saxophone sounds like. You might be most familiar with the typical modern jazz solo sound, which emphasizes a more free and less controlled style of playing, lots of articulation specific to jazz (and only little classical articulation) and bright, penetrating sound. It is in some way less elegant and musical, but more rough and bold, which is what you want in this style (and makes a lot of sense, for in jazz you’d usually have gigs in places where things like soft dynamics do not matter, but you need a sound that carries over a band, bad acoustics and background noise). But in conventional saxophone playing the standard tone is something in between clarinet, violoncello and cor anglais, the soprano more like oboe and trumpet, the bari and lower like bassoon, horn, and double bass. Especially due to the control a good player has over the brightness and the shape of the sound (vibrato, articulation), a saxophone can do quite a lot of different sounds in classical style, especially in an ensemble. A bari can produce a sound quite similar to a violoncello in character, it can sound like a bassoon, like a horn, or whatever. A soprano can sound like a trumpet.

Classical saxophonists confuse me. There’s just way less repertoire and celebration of the instrument in classical music. I’m seriously convinced orchestral composers just have some sort of bizarre, inborn hatred of the Sax because it’s a truly agile, versatile, and beautiful instrument that can blend well amongst woodwinds and brass, but the old masters of orchestral composition we revere today severely neglected to include the Sax in so many of their works.

That's the joke part, eh? I recall at the 1991 NFA (National Flute Convention) in D.C., there were various cats floating their wares, and this cat from Trenton, NJ, whose name I forget but whose book I bought, did a demo, and he played written out solos on jazz chord changes (he handed out a sheet to all assembled to hear his "Schpiel" with the selection he was gonna play with notes and all writ out) and I had to smack my hand against my mouth when someone in the crowd said, after he had finished playing along with his tape, (yes, tape back then)...she said "I see you played notes that weren't in the score." How hard it was to keep from bursting out laughing, although I'm sure somebody in that crowd must've laughed with me. It was a highlight ot the convention for me. Sheesh! it's all music, eh?? Let go, embrace new stuff! You or I may not like certain forms of new music, but so what? IT HAS EVER BEEN THUS ! Beethoven was ridiculed, Chopin was, too, and sadly, becuz we have no press of indigenous cultures long ago (nor indigenous cultures in the HERE AND NOW), we know nothing of their genius in the musical realms, for, as Eric Dolphy said..."When it's gone, in the air, you can never capture it again." By this I do not mean to NOT call attention to the vast musical cultures around this world, but I ask myself and yourself...didja try sumpin new musically today? if so, good. Here's an ideer for the west---look up AINU music from Northern Japan. Look up Bollywood music from India, look up punk rock from Germany in the 1980's (like Tanzdiele or Tanzdiebe).. how about Bulgarian Rap? There is never enuf time to absorb the WOILD, but recall that it is better to focus on a few things than to spread your time in too many endeavors--I speak from experience, at 61. We study books and learn licks and try to emulate, but the reality calling you is "BE YOURSELF." Music is a deeply spiritual path, and to find your own voice seems disheartening manytimes, but YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE. YOUR MUSIC May not be loved in this lifetime, but so what? You'll be back to try again, but no matta, for fame is dangerous and so is lotsa money. And when you have money or fame or both, there will be Forces trying to get you to do things that you don't want to do. And remember how it was to just create your own little idea, in your own space, maybe with friends or maybve alone, but that is VERY different than being world famous and bothered by wacko fans.! Peace and love to all who've read this far!

i can feel you bro, i’m a classical studying trombone, and when i go improvising in jazz i almost everytime end up sounding like it’s from a symphony or from arban studies, sometimes i unconsciously end up playing excerpts, like, anything in E minor and you will surely have a bit from tchaikovsky 5, two of my friends (flute and double bass) even joined the meme and we ended up playing a whole jam session spamming classical excerpts, the vibe was amazing, stretching up standards that in our hands would normally last 8 minutes to 15 or 20, just so we could play like half of our orchester probespiels, the pianists and drummer were amazing so they were like “fuck this now we’re not playing only jazz anymore we’re playing classical too” and So What started in D minor and ended up in C# Minor (cuz the trumpet solo in the beginning of Mahler 5). We even ended up playing full fugues, like Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 3rd movement (minor scale frere jacques), as well as medieval tunes. i still want to become a classical trombone, like, with my fixed seat at the berliner philharmoniker or something like that, and won’t plan to invest a lot of time in jazz, but definitely won’t abandon it at all, as it’s there where you have a little bit more creative freedom and can have a kind of fun equivalent to playing a tchaikovsky symphony or something, but while being even more chill

In a completely unbiased opinion, lick 1 and 3 with a classical embouchure sounded actually quite nice. Sounded pretty close to how the early swing players sounded on ballads. Prob because they came from clarinet first and had darker, large chamber mpcs with large bore saxes, giving a dark, velvety tone. Maybe a case for teaching multiple, flexible embouchures?

Actually, in imitating the "jazz" player's music, his tone is the way early jazz players sounded. BTW, most classical players, like my father, started out in a conservatory, and before you even get down on your instrument you have to learn solfeggio identifying the notes and pitches by ear. My father switched to big band later and made the transition easily and actually was able to transcribe big band charts to paper by just listening to the recordings.

He’s made so many of these videos but I can never get tired of them 😅

Dude this is one of the funniest things I've seen all year

I thought this was gonna be a dunk on classical saxophone players, but this was surprisingly pleasant to listen to.

When you started playing Ibert that shit was so funny

Loving that series !!!!

Can’t believe this masterpiece is already almost a year old! I love this video!

5:30 The Glazunov lick

I'm happy to say that all the classical snobs I know are cut out of my life. My first piano teacher...oof. She once tried to explain to me why classical is superior: "well think of it this way: jazz, rock, all of that is like a village dialect. Classical is the language Pushkin spoke." Dialects are just as fascinating if not more fascinating, but that's beside the point because I think that her analogy is wrong on a much more fundamental level.

Ugh that’s painful. What is up with that? Why are people so close minded? Can’t stand it.

Let's put it this way classical is for the upper class aka the important people and jazz is for the working Man The working poor the average Joe. Lol I'm just messing with you. I love BOTH!!! People who are real music nerds love all types of music.

I had teachers like that when I was in college. Now I would probably tell them to bite me.

This is one of the most enjoyable videos I’ve seen in a while. I kinda want to hear a legit duet with both the jazz sax and the classical sax.

This is an awesome video I had no idea the way you play notes changes the way it sounds.

legend says he likes every single comment edit: it took 27 seconds for him to like

I don't even play saxophone, found this channel by mistake, was laughing all the way through

bloopers are gold, thanks for that

I liked this comparison a lot!!

All jokes aside, I actually know people who think about jazz as an inferior art form to classical music. Making the same claims in the video. I really hope they see this because this is spot on lmao.

@Royal S Art is subjective. Some things may not be your aesthetic like jazz music however i believe they are all equally artistic depending on the listener.

Royal S music should draw out emotion. If you’re required to be professional at all times while listening, then all the work of the composer is wasted. There is nothing inherently superior about professionalism in music. Classical music excels at telling stories and conveying emotions with its composition, and is not better than any other music because of its “fanciness.”

I made this video specifically for people like you. It’s very apparent that you have been to a very limited amount of jazz events. Have you been to Jazz at Lincoln Center? It contradicts everything you’re saying. And it’s also apparent you have never sat in a rehearsal of virtuosic jazz players or played in a masterclass with one. I encourage you to broaden your perspective. In the meantime you have inspired new lines for my next iteration of this video!

Ahh well I do see where you’re coming from. But I do think when a jazz group of players play together for many years, the artistic element is a lot more nuanced than we would expect. Great groups make it sound easy but the amount of sensitivity is crazy and the different skills required is also formidable. I don’t think it’s worth putting one or the other down. Someone who spends 10,000 hours in either one are gonna achieve insane things in different areas

Is this what the saxs talked about all day, I’m a French horn player btw

Thanks, Y'all, I needed that!!!!

I expect the very different tone, but what amazes me is the completely different time feel and rhythmic attack even in such short passages.

I love jazz and I think the classical touch really adds a wonderful element to the saxophone. It feels closer to the older big band solos like with Glenn Miller.

im a jazz musician and i stretch out from there. i got to say i li sten to classical music to keep my sound tighter

Probably one of the best examples demonstrating the differences between classical and Jazz sax I’ve seen. OK done with humour and a little mocking of classical players in this example (though I think that helps demonstrate the point even more), so clever. Well done. Can’t wait for the next instalment, vice versa....

Loved the bloopers at the end!

This is beautiful.

i'm a garbage musician and i'm definitely telling on myself hardcore by commenting this, but i honestly and unironically preferred the classical sound for the lick trials.

You could totally make a real song with dueling sax solos, one of which plays more classical and the other doing complex jazz bits

I was thinking about doing a Canon in D for classical alto and jazz alto

What a fun way to demonstrate the differences!

they both sound good!

Damm, that's a damm good horn! The sound is phenomenal, so bright and crisp! I love the rawer sound of the sax on the right too. I think the energy of the player makes a huge difference too!

This video is amazing, I actually really love this so much holy

Simply brilliant 😆😆. Facial expressions on POINT 🤣

This is amazing. It sounds like a bad Paul Desmond impression. Brilliant.

Cool!! I played tenor sax from 5th grade through to a year or two after high school. Your channel is making me wanna pick it up again.
