It worked! It feels way harder to add the growl when you play sequence of notes compare to add the growl on the starting note. I felt like the growl came more natural if i did a deep ”humming” sound though. But with this technique it felt more alive! Good work. I do study almost every video you post. Keep it up man! Cheers from sweden

Hey John! Yeah, it takes a little bit of practice to be able to keep the growl going when you switch notes, but once you get it down you'll be good to go! The humming is a bit easier, but the growl isn't as strong, and it is harder to relearn it with the raspy throat, so I always just start off with that technique.

Hardest part for me is switching from “un-growled” notes to “growled” notes. I can mostly play a full major scale while growling, but I still can’t throw in a badass growl to end a blues line. I guess I gotta keep practicing. Anyways, thanks for the video 😀

It seems Earl Bostic did this through most of his tunes, even in his amazing altissimo lines. I can’t remember his playing without the growl. Do you recall any other styles used by him. Did constant growl stop him from using other tones? As a kid, 50+ years ago, When I heard him playing on recordings in his R and B style, I thought he was playing a Tenor! I was blown away at him playing that high on a tenor…. Now I’m blown away at his playing that high on his alto! If anyone reads this I suggest you listen to his “Way Out There in Orbit”!

Hey Terry! Yeah, in early R&B the growl was a normal part of the sax sound. You hear it everywhere. Just checked out Up There In Orbit - he's killing it...bebop lines, overtones grooves, blues, scoops, altissimo acrobatics, and super chops. Thanks for sharing!
