Video lesson about saxophone timing and what I learned about it from Gary talking to Airto.

Lateness!!! Yeah tell me about it.
In saxophones and bow instruments one has to generate the sound. We are the music. In a piano/guitar the sound is there, just have to pluck it, lucky guys. We have to feel good to sound good.
Sax lateness…a real issue Neal…like Tower of Power ensemble (((Tight)))
Indeed! haha. Thanks Mike
Seemed like a thing we don’t often think about but can be improved. Maybe the next lesson will be more ‘fun’.
