I met “Bags” at the Baked Potato in the LA area in 1981. He came to our table and chatted kindly during his break. I love his album, Bags and Trane.

Very easy as well: Chitlins Con Carne by Kenny Burell (Tenorsax Stanley Turrentine). And really groovy.

Great sound Jay! A few notes with great sound and rhythm is better than many notes without.

This is great, Jay. I wish someone had told me which songs to learn when I first started learning jazz. And btw, your BetterTrax are the BEST backing tracks out there. Hands down. They are AMAZING and SUPER FUN to play with! 😊 Thanks for the discount today!

Thanks a lot, Mr Metcalf. It's a very interesting tutorial.

Excellent stuff Jay for budding beginners and buddiing improvisors. Fundamentals on I-IV-Vs and with blues turnarounds ... and pentatonics. And as you say, it gets them going at open mics and jams at an early stage. Less notes more rhythm! 😁 Set their roots and they will grow indepenently.

Sister Satie, Mercy Mercy Mercy, Work Song, Coming Home Baby. Easy jam tunes. Don't forget Goodbye Pork Pie Hat.

Ive been loving your videos Jay. I’m coming back to the saxophone from a 15 year hiatus and based on your recommendations I got a Jean Paul Tenor sax and one of your burnin mouth pieces and I love both! Thanks!

Every session has its own few that seem to get called a lot. Billie's Bounce and Au Privave seem to be popular in my area. Back at the Chicken Shack was a favorite a few years back. Watermelon Man is a popular one not listed here, though I would cheerfully not play it again for a decade. Blue Monk and Straight, No Chaser get called a ton. Better know those, probably even more than C Jam or Bags' Groove. Go to the session once, be prepared to lay out a bunch, then go home and learn the ones that got called. But don't practice a list of tunes in a vacuum: go jam _now_.
