Fun stuff! I think you are downplaying the importance of this. Beyond tone matching some notes, I think people who have lost the use of the right hand or arm due to injuries or illnesses might see this as a legit way of playing the sax. It gives them quite the register to play with!

What a great solo! I thought you might mention Rahsaan Roland Kirk who played one sax with one hand and another with the other--and often playing a drone note on a third! I believe he had his horns rigged to facilitate all that. After he suffered a right-side-debilitating stroke he continued performing on tenor or flute with only his left hand! But of course he had the "advantage" of being blind from early childhood.

This is great fun and your solo as others have said is probably better than most of ours with 2 hands....so big respect! I would say the most difficult bit technically is bending down the 2nd octave G a full tone to the F. You being brilliant, made it sound convincing, but my effort was a real struggle and very wobbly. great idea though

If it is easier for you, try to bend up a little holding all three palm keys (as you press D, D# and F and only have to compensate for the missing E key)

Anche se non sono un musicista, ho 61 anni e vado a scuola di sax, quando non posso suonare per non far rumore, passo diverso tempo a gustarmi le tue simpatiche lezioni.

This is cool. I’m going to give this a try. This doesn’t add to the one handed playing, but kind of similar. I found a relatively easy way to get a low A on an alto. Play the low Bb and cover the bell by bringing one leg up and using your bent knee to cover the bell. Kind of gimmicky I know. But hey, it’s all about the show, isn’t it? 🎷🎷😊 Thanks again, Jamie and glad to see you’re better.

Not relevant to the subject material of this video but being the master that you most assuredly are could you elucidate as to why there are no lady jazz subtoners, or do these gentle and some not so gentle folk do not like this effect or is it that subtening is an anatomic impossibility for them?
