Can't, nothing there. Just a black rectangle.

Weird - I just checked on my phone and computer and works fine. Someone else on here texted me and said it works for them as well.

When I log out, I can see and watch the video. If I'm logged in I just get a black rectangle. I remember this from another round of forum bugs in the past.

NO worries.

Dave, you're sounding great on that Conn tenor.

Dave, you're sounding great on that Conn tenor.

Thanks! It's so difficult to play, but the tone is awesome.

 

[AltoMann]

I really hope there is a Singer at this Jazz Jam. Nothing like doing Autumn Leaves in Db!

 

[J-Moen]

I was hoping for one on the grounds of "Oh wow, This tenor sax player is super friendly and definitely not full of himself." Hilarious stuff Dave

 

[Stretch]

Funny stuff Dave! Refresh my mind, what's a gig again?

 

[turf3]

What do you find difficult about it? It sure doesn't SOUND like you're having diffculty in playing it.

(I'm a lifetime Conn-man.)

 

[MLucky]

Hilarious, as usual. Thanks for this!

Maybe I can add another one or two:

"I don't need to solo on this tune, you go ahead."

"The drummer's time was perfect, I was the one who was rushing."

"Listen, I need to ask everyone in the audience to please take a step back: the people at the front of the stage are getting crushed."

The keywork seems so clunky - angle of keys on both hands is angled weird, left pinky keys are all jacked up (C#, B, and Bb are in a row!!), fork F seems too separated...when I play one of my student's horns I feel like my technique improves by 1000% over playing this thing.

Ha! Thanks so much! I already have 10 more written (plus some more) for part 2, so that will be out sometime in the next few days or so.

Hah! It's the thing where you record your parts in your houses then edit them together! Hold on...

I actually have REAL LIFE gigs this upcoming Sunday then next Friday...so we'll see how that goes.

A lot of that's just familiarity. The fork F can be gently bent to get it closer. Once you get used to the low note key touches, you'll see that there are good anatomical reasons for that layout, where you push on the keys rather than pulling on them.

Also, they can generally benefit from a good going-over.

You are so entertaining!
I could have watched an hour of that!!!

 

[jlima]

"No problem, my friend, guitar player, I don't mind playing in F# major all night long!"

 

[mijderf]

Or, "You know, we really need to see if the guitar player can play a little louder"

 

[mascio]

very nice David.

 

[Guto]

I definitely did say some of these phrases at some point or another (e.g. it still amazes me when someone pays me $150 to play as mediocrely as I do for a couple hours - yes, it happened... once)... makes me realize I'm not a real musician

But I did enjoy your previous video playing Impressions on various instruments.... a lot! Really nice job!
