Jazz Practice Buddy // VLOG

One of the great gifts I've received was spending my early "jazz discovery" years with peers who were improvisers, too. I wish I could give you that experience. Also, I turned 40. Also, Ahmad Jamal.

Bob Reynolds is a Grammy Award-winning tenor saxophonist known for his work with Snarky Puppy, John Mayer, and 8 solo albums. He is a D'Addario Woodwinds artist.
LONGER BIO
Saxophonist Bob Reynolds is an in-demand jazz performer, educator, and sideman, as well as a regular member of the Grammy Award-winning band Snarky Puppy. Born in Morristown, New Jersey in 1977, Reynolds grew up in Jacksonville, Florida, where he first started playing saxophone at age 13. Although he listened to a range of music as a kid, by his late teens he was a dedicated jazz student. After high school he honed his skills at Boston's Berklee College of Music, where he mentored with George Garzone, Hal Crook, and others. As a leader, he debuted with 2000's The Bob Reynolds Quartet, followed by 2006's Can't Wait for Perfect. That same year, he joined fellow Berklee alum John Mayer's band and spent the next five years with the pop star, touring and appearing on such albums as 2008's Where the Light Is and 2009's Battle Studies.
In 2013, he returned to his solo work with Somewhere in Between, which reached number one on digital jazz charts. He then made his Snarky Puppy debut appearing on the genre-bending group's 2014 effort, We Like It Here. Two years later he was back with Snarky Puppy for the Grammy Award-winning Culcha Vulcha. In 2017, Reynolds delivered the EP Guitar Band, which featured appearances from Kneebody bassist Kaveh Rastegar as well as fellow Snarky Puppy members Robert "Sput" Searight (drums) and Mark Lettieri (guitar). ~ Matt Collar

Man, this is why i love watching your videos... You're motivating me to continue and pursue my passion. Continue vlogging Bob so you can continue inspiring other musicians too! Belated Happy birthday! More blessings to come and God bless you! Cheers! From Philippines
Man. Mr Jamal has a singular touch on those keys. I've only seen him once at Catalina's some years ago. Wow! Mulgrew Miller also had that sort of touch... Mr Tyner, a different sort of touch! ha! Almost expect the M6 after the geek out with Ben Wendel, but I guess the jury is still out. Cool. Happy birthday. I'm 43. I'm not as fast and springy as I used to be. But my personal life with wife and kids (a little younger than yours) has put all kinds of new joy in my life. Enjoy!
Happy birthday Bob. Thank you for all you have done.
Happy 40.. from a 62 year old drummer. Love what you're doing.. keep it up..

Happy belated birthday! Ha ha, so true the Ahmad Jamal phrase, I love it. I am turning 39 in January.
LOL the music with you spinning in the chair is so comedy gold

Happy Birthday Bob! Next year I celebrate my 50th. My hope is to fly to LA to catch you at the Baked Potato in March to celebrate. Look for me in the audience. I'll be the guy wearing Hammer pants trying to swipe Janek's lines.
Speaking of Ahmad Jamal, Poinciana made an appearance in the last vlog! I couldn't tell you what my favorite album by him is, he's so consistently concise and creative at the same time! (not at all lacking in technique, though! Haha!) Thanks for the vlogs!
Bob this is crazy, i recently fell in love with ahmad jamal and my favourite album of his is ahmad's blues and im not joking, my birthday is also September 29th, this is my favourite vlog so far!! Keep up the great work, love your new album by the way
Happy Birthday, Mr. Reynolds!!!!
Woah Kyle killing on the tambourine haha Happy Birthday Bob I hope you had a great one. From the looks of the vlog you did haha
Bob! dang it, I love your vlogs! Happy Belated and I'm definitely looking forward to the #pocket !
Happy 40th birthday Bob. I’m 40 with 19 years experience. All the best to you and yours. Hi Juan. Juan got so much pocket he coughs up lint.
I gotta hit up Juan when I get back to Jax next month. Love you guys on that album together
I adore your vlog. Great editing, funny, educational, sincere, AND beautiful music. Just wonderful.

Happy 40th, Bob! Just checked out your Jamal recommendation and another great example of not playing all the notes is "Cheek to Cheek"! I love it... Thanks for mentioning the album!

Happy birthday! I think you with the guys from the jam session should record an album (maybe totally improvised).
Happy birthday! Hey, Benny Carter recorded at 94!
Happy birthday!!! You looks really young actually~!
Sister-in-law and boyfriend- I totally get that! Got one of those myself; love the look on people's faces when I say that (despite the underlying tragedy).

No sweat man... You look 38. 39 tops. Congrats!
40? Punk! ;-) Happy belated, sir!
Happy Birthday! Question: Have you ever thought about doing or have done a #pocket playlist on Spotify or on another streaming site? That would be really cool to see your favourite tunes with some deep pockets.
40! WTF! 😂 Happy birthday! It’s a fun decade.

Happy birthday Bob! You gave some very important suggestions, to play with someone who is also an improviser can make you grow a lot. But now i need some info about that pocket festival (you can't end the Vlog this way! :D). When the next VLOG will be out?
I'm digging them 💓
Now that's a party !!! Congrats on the big. 40 !!

I love black focus by Ahmad Jamal
Happy Birthday! Are you coming to Brasil in December?
Bob happy 40th from Nashville!! I have a question. When you and Juan started doing the play-a-longs what was that progression/development like? I assume you both didn't start out being able to play chord changes or hitting those "money" notes that gave you that jazz sound. How/when did things start to click? How did you overcome those hurdles?
Ugh! Just to be able to just play! I long for the day!
Happy Birthday Bob! BTW I'm 60 and I have neckties older than you......;-)
Was it at Bohemian Caverns in DC?
Hey Bob, I play alto sax and was wondering if you did too. I’d love to see some videos with you on alto and happy belated birthday!

Saw someone mention this in the comments but its actually quite good www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075HTNC7C its a tripod for an iphone or any phone and works well, just passing on the message for anyone wanting to make videos
