I have an old 78rpm of Earl Bostic with Embraceable You & Night & Day which was popular during the era of instrumentals many years ago (1950s) . Earl Bostic had an individual sound with that raspy, growly tone which was unique & instantly recognisable. Thanks for explaining his use of a Tenor Reed on the Alto Jamie. I had no idea of this. As a result I have tried this out & it works for me. My Alto sounds just great now with a broader tone & volumn. I am no Earl Bostic, but thanks again for some very useful information & your super videos. Stormin Norman.

Any saxophonist or student should know about all the greats, including Bostic. If not, you’re not doing enough.

First he said he was going to play an alto with a tenor reed, then it got crazier.... Altissimo mezzo allegro!

Now that's something Coltrane should have paid better attention to. Frantic, but minimal dissonance. Thank you for putting the message out there, ...my faith in this has been somewhat restored. While Giant Steps just depresses me. How is this not more revolutionary than that track?!

The last time I tried playing these altissimo notes my dog ran away from home and we still haven't found him
