All of the history of Jazz Saxophone is compressed into one man James Carter

The young guy playing Lover Man with James Carter is fantastic. The best playing of the session, including James i would suggest. Great sound and wonderful melodic lines on substitute chords - is he big player in Moscow

Voici Professor of Jazz Saxophone Techniques and Improvisational Studies, Monsieur Carter. James Carter is all about Jazz in its true eclectic significance.He remains creatively unapologetic, as he understands that Jazz is an 'Auto-Physio-Psychic' art form which must assert and affirm improvisational spontaneity of a multiplicity of thoughts, ideas and expression. Many young Jazz lions have emerged during the mid-80s. James stands out as the most intrepid and adventurous artist not only on saxophones, but on bass clarinet and flutes. It is apparent to me that, using only the baritone saxophone in a single tune, James can be heard exuding, not only baritone saxophone sound-voice, but sopranino, soprano, alto, tenor, C-melody, bass, and contra bass saxophones. His altissimos are 'Hyper'. James Carter knows his audience and applies the particular tonal expressiveness appropriate to the 'now'/present audience - Don Byas, Chu Berry, Illinois Jacquet, ...Benny Carter (alto saxophone) Hear him with the String Orchestras; how he tames the various instruments tonally and by way of finesse. I adore the two young saxophonists also. Their sound is steady and Smooth; improvisation is well-structured. On soprano saxophone, one of them has delivered 'Body And Soul' marvelously well, with melodic, harmonic and Improvisational lyricism .They, the both of them, are 'set' with a snap-shot of spiritual emotionalism. Excellent performance; great video.Thanks for posting!

Best sax clinic I have seen so far! James shared some techniques that in my 47 years of playing sax I was not aware of. This clinic will improve your playing by opening up new advenues of expression on your horn. Thanks James!

Carter's sound is definitely different, and had I heard him years ago, I might not have liked him. But now, I think he's great. He takes after Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis in many ways, with the growly sound and a lot of those chromatic licks that seem to stand out against the changes. I had similar reactions to guys like Paul Gonsalves and even John Coltrane when I first heard them. Give Carter a shot. He'll grow on you.

Спасибо Марьячи(нынешнему SaxBird) за такие мастер-классы с такими звездами, легендами джаза! Низкий поклон!

still love to watch this after all these years, thank you for organizing this event!

Those young saxophonists - so wonderful!

I have enjoyed this workshop, it is one the most brilliant workshops I have ever had an opportunity to see. James Carter is a great clinician as well as one of the greatest saxophonist. Here he seems to have absorbed the whole jazz saxophone tradition and styles. Here he has said a lot about saxophone's history, styles and virtuosic tips. I also liked all the 3 tenor sax players, I can see and feel their potential to become great players. Thanks to the Mariachi Sax Boutique, I never knew anything about it here in the United Kingdom. As an upcoming saxophonist myself I have learned a lot from this clinic. Well done to all!!!

JAMES CARTER HAS BEEN BRILLIANT SINCE HE WAS A FETUS. HE IS ABSOLUTELY A FINE CLASS A MUSEUM QUALITY ARTIST! HISTORY IS BEING WRITTEN FOR HE IS ONE OF THE BEST, I FIRST SAW HIM IN DETROIT IN 1989 AT A DETROIT JAZZ FEST JAM SESSION, AND I KNEW THEN I WAS STRUCK BY JAZZ LIGHTNING!! 30 YEARS LATER HE IS THE QUINTESSENTIAL ARTIST AND PERFORMER! UNSELFISH WITH HIS BRILLIANCE HE SHARES HIS VAST KNOWLEDGE OF THE SAXOPHONE AND THE MAKING OF MUSIC WITH THE WORLD!! HIS MUSIC IS SIMPLY THE BUGATTI OF JAZZ!

смотрел и СЛУШАЛ от первой до последней ноты и открыл джаз с другой стороны,со стороны ЛИЧНОСТИ,что очень важно,Честная музыка и открытая к окружающим личность,ни капли превосходства над другими...МОЛОДЕЦ КАРТЕР.

Mr. James Carter is a master but a beautiful person !!!

Both great players, it's clear that the second horn player listens more and takes his time. The second one is out to prove instead of play. The second player is clearer and has a even better tone.

Carter is an Animal when it comes to playing the sax...literaly makes love to the instrument...one of my biggest influences

Thanks for posting this master player! We just heard James Carter at SPACE in Evanston, Illinois. AMAZING!!!!!

The second guy has a great sound, he Is realy good

Amazing stuff.... what a great session and what an honor for these young guys to spend a day with James Carter. Also, kudos to the piano player for great comping, great fils and, honestly, for just keeping up! Carter is a beast.

Everyone talks tone and articulation. James Carter is what music is all about. Anyone can play notes on a page, but not everyone can express themselves like that. Triple tongue, circular breathing, octave jumps, the list goes on! James Carter will out-play anyone on this earth! Stop being technical and nitpicky and appreciate GREATNESS!

Great clinic JC, I loved how you got everyone involved and made it fun for the audience to listen, keep swinging, I’m going to Paris today turning 65 on Friday and wanted to go where my man Dexter Gordon played. Going to be filming Godfather of Harlem when I get back on Monday 12/18/23, I play the Godfather of Queens in the movie, directors are thinking about adding a segment of how Jazz was a part of people lives, and as long as there is someone playing Jazz never dies and our heroes live on thru us, I’m combining the acting, modeling and playing Jazz to our lives, May peace be with you!

Most lyrical playing from Mr. I

James is free. Has his own style. Breaks rules because there are no rules. That horn is an extension of him. His style might not be for everybody, it’s definitely unique

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!! I truly would love to visit Russia and experience metting other musicians in the same manner. It seems like a lot of fun.

Два моих самых любимых саксофониста- Джеймс Картер и Антон Румянцев, еще с его учебы в Гнесинке..Наткнулся на запись в Марьячи случайно- искал любимую скрипачку Регину Картер- а она, оказывается, кузина Джеймса! А тут и Антон нарисовался, бывает же так!

I was all, "Man those kids are really good" and then James Carter started playing and I was all, "Man those kids are pretty good."

I love how they play all the melody is beautiful

Great video. Watched the entire thing. Bracvo Mariachi Sax Boutique! Great job filming, editing and overall. Very nice! I will visit you when I travel to Moscow someday! Thank you! James Carter = Awesome

Awesome playing. Mr. Carter is a wonderful teacher.

One of my favorite videos on YT. You mustn't be Musician to feel the love in this room. Thanks to all participiants, in front and behind the cameras. BTW an appeal for all snappers: If you take pictures at any events, please shut off the "peep" at the camera.

at about 14:35-15:30. This separate a genius from a technical robot. Being technical is wonderful, having natural soul and touch is wonderful. Being able to express your soul with outstanding technique is what gives you the genius quality in a way.

This movie suggests many things to me... The most important thing is that james is incredibile.

AWESOME...no words. we love you james..

i must say the I heart NY is a very solid player no doubt. needs to be more extroverted through his horn though. Can't wait for it take it..

tenor player on body&soul sounds great

Yes. Yes. YES!!! I love every second of this video.

im with "I heart NY" kid! that guy really got soul.

James Carter - Saxophonist excellent! Show sound waves radiate applaud our ears. I can answer about online classes? thank you for helping me ...

Благодарю за видео

Imagina esses caras louvando ao Senhor!!! My God .. Thank's

No comments yet on the two Russian tenors? I thought they were both awesome. On Round Midnight I actually like the style and lines of he "I heart NY" kid. That guy's a rock solid player. Very cool to see jazz has some legit cats in the Fatherland.

Вот почему как русский комментарий, так столько злости, желчи ,ненависти , недовольства , критики своих , злого подшучивания . Это вообще закономерно. Как только иностранец в Россию приедет, всё русские перед ним друг друга удавят, будут страшно волноваться, чето строить из себя заумное , перебивать друг друга,не уважать друг друга. Учитесь естественности и доброжелательности у афро американских коллег. За видео огромное спасибо!

El joven del saxo hizo muy buena interpretación muy buen tenor sax solo ❤

Veľmi,veľmi zaujímavé video.Výborná hra na kavalitných nástrojoch.Anika

i love how when they're playing no greater love the guy on tenor let's loose... he looked like he liked it

Young fellow on tenor is excellent in Body & Soul

What masterful playing on this tune.

в саксе ничо не шарю, но, наверное этот дядька крут, а этим парням повезло поиграть вместе с ним, и послушать его наставления=)))

At approximately 39 seconds into the clip, i believe the young lady on the bottom left of your screen was the winner of the Theloneus Monk Saxophone contest 2013. If it is her, her name is Melissa Aldana and she is an absolute beast on the saxophone!!!

Excellent 'students' but James reminds you that it's all about sound.

Listen to them play their longer solos in the beginning, then dont watch the video, and try to guess who is playing each time, good listening exercise

Que barbaro James Carter, que barbaridad, jejejeje mas nada, pura crema, los chamos los hacen exelente, pero Mr Carter genial, bravo.

Words of wisdom, good stuff.

The best part is definitely 13:30.

This cheered me right up.

The translator is great. Translating real time cant be easy.

The key to bn a musician is to allow yrself to b humble n to xcept humility,even whn we think we r at our best theres always someone a little sharper than u,church

Muy bueno el grupo de saxofon... Y el sr Carter también... :)

Great command of the instrument altogether And creative. To go with it...

Some parts, early on, remind me of stories about Bird in the late 40's. For instance, it's an old story that he put Miles through a bit of not-so-good-natured fun by listening to his solos on certain tunes, turning around and playing them back to him note-for-note, then improvising on them.

Carter has that Coleman Hawkins thing going!

That hat I want it.

sad that the first tenor student played most of the time, the kid behind him had a better tone and more interesting ideas

Exelente estimados colegas......... Saludos...

Dis man is realy ah god of sax, on ah real.

Fabolous class!!¡!

После вчерашнего концерта вживую оживает снова необычайный восторг от мастерства самого Джеймса и его органиста…

1:45:10-finalle..the pic of the night!James' multiphonics are so unique!

Those young guys are very good. They could very well be professionals.

playing lots of notes really fast does not mean you are a superior player. i have only watched seven minutes but so far this is what James seemed to be doing.

so... "there will never be another you"; "body and soul"; "there is no greater love" (with a very nice feat. from the local player); than they play "stardust" to demostrate don byas' stuff (these are all love songs!). after that "on the sunny side of the street". all very famouse jam session's tune.

it's an exciting time with James Carter at Mariachi pro-shop, Moscow. i hope to meet James in the upcoming future, does he play with Selmer Mk VI or P.Mauriat? I guess that it looks like vintage of P.Mauriat, right? cheers!

*Дали бы Джеймсу поиграть одному , эта же легенда . Приехал чувак со штатов , а тут студенты не дают ему и ноту вставить ;)*

I used to LOVE plasticover. I like fibracell much more though. It lasts forever.. and although every reed you buy is different from the last its still a nice change

Those were amazing solos, I too play the sax and was wondering if anybody had any advice for an upcoming soon that be jazz saxophonist?

Carter literally kicks peoples asses with his style lol. He truly stands on his own in that reguard, and he has mastered all of the fundamentals. What I see here is Innovation. Taking the instrument beyond its generic purpose and making it Mind-Fucking brilliant entertainment that you are forced to respect. From the nasty lows to the dog-Infuriating Altissimo notes. Thats whats up.

Nice man, thanks for sharing this!

AN PERFECT LESSON!!!

Indeed music is a language spoken the same by all.

awesome... just awesome.

MAGNIFIQUE

why cant i like this like a million times? gah!

YEAH some kind of wonderful......jam jazz.....!!!!!!

I've never seen so many horns in one room.

The kid in the back has the best tone

how can you still play 3 plus octaves (perfectly) and all that STUFF after a 10 hour plane ride....beast!!!

my lord that is one crazy beautiful line at 17:38. how did he even do that

i like the style and sound of the kid with the link better than the other

great great lessons...... i would have him in italy

Merece muitos aplausos!!!

he explicitly mentioned that since 2006 he plays (and records with) p.mauriat exclusively. his own one is a p. mauriat pmxt-66rul prototype (unlacquered).

People who like music? I play music to please myself, because its what I love. I don't play music for other people, yet I'm still a huge hit in my area. The say is, "Do what you love, and the money will come." Playing for other people is called selling out.

To be fair to him, he soloed first and is probably shit scared of playing infront of James Carter. I know I would be.

Bravissimo fantastic music .

Ну он и приколист,молодчага

I LOVED IT

I don' care what reed horn mp he plays >HE plays with Gusto, passion and experienced,none of which you can buy in a shop.

а ведь так элементарно было бы записать звук стерео...

James cárter é muito simples e humilde.

He is a student, but yes, he is pretty cool and one of the best in his range of age

Well, when you're used to playing in A=440 all the time, it sounded like they were extremely sharp, but most non-western nations have a higher standard pitch.

He shows how Music Transcends Language
