This man is a god of the saxophone. I somehow managed to learn the first portion of this tune in this key, 3/4 the speed of this. To do it like he did, you've gotta have supersonic fingers.

Charlie Parker always credited Jimmy as he inspiration on alto. Personally I always felt he alto was better than his clarinet which was a distant third to Goodman and Shaw.

if it wasn't hard enough , he also plays it in c#, which isn't the most conducive key to play in for playing fast. Insane.

In this video, the fingerings I'm seeing do not match the pitches I'm hearing. I think the video/audio has been sped up, and the original key is C major (that's what I'm seeing from the fingerings used anyway). Also explains why this sounds so mind bogglingly fast. That said, what a player he was! Fantastic!

It’s sped up by a little. I’ve heard this song in a different soundie and the tempo is slightly slower but only by a little bit because J. Dorsey is still quite fast while playing the alto saxophone.

Kris is right: Jimmy is playing in the alto's C (Eb concert pitch). I can see the third note of the scale is the alto's E, not F. The video audio is in concert E, which is C# on the alto. Jimmy could probably have played it in that key. I would hate to have to play that old alto, with its awkward keywork. I heard someplace that the one in the video is a Selmer before they brought out the Balanced Action model, which has vastly better keywork and is essentially the same as just about all saxphones since about the mid 1950s. The Balanced Action keywork was tweaked a bit for the Super Action and the 1954 Mark VI, but it was not altered drastically. I was once without my own horn and I was lent a 1920s Büscher alto. It was solidly built, and had a good sound, but the keywork was awkward and I missed by Selmer Mark VI.

Dorsey and Earl Bostic can hardly be surpassed on the alto, technically. But as musicians, they were not first rate. There are other, much finer and more creative altoists.
