I've never figured out how to make the sort of sound in the altissimo register that guys like redman and mintzer can make. Its kind of like a split tone but not. Are they just singing at the same time and if so is there a particular interval which works best? Alot of modern players do it? Is it just a form of growling???? I wanna do it!!! Help!!!!

They yell into the horn while playing...a form of growling. Experiment w/ different intervals to see what works best.

I got to see Bob Mintzer live just about 3 weeks ago. He was good, but I was much more impressed with Andy Firth and Buddy DeFranco. Between Ingrid Jensen, Bob Mintzer, Andy Firth, and Buddy DeFranco, it made for an amazing unforgetable experience.
