Hello,
I have a couple of questions regarding playing Jazz music. Saxophone is not a new concept to me, having played for more than 10 years and finished musical high school (now I am studying physics
).
But, most of the time I just played classical music and while I love classical saxophone, I would also like to start playing Jazz. Here comes the problem, because I don't know how to start. First, my goal is not to play some ultra-modern free jazz, like Peter Brotzman or Ornette Coleman, it would be more like dixieland, and early John Coltrane. So, how can I start? How can I get the "jazz sound"? I play a Selmer Serie III alto, so gear is no problem, I am technically on top of things (in the past I played Tomassi concerto, Glazounov concerto, Hindemith Sonate,...).
My brain is just not working fast enough for jazz, or so it seems
:treble::line2::line3:
Oh, I forgot to add, that I plan to buy a tenor sax in the future, but not for a while...
