Menza talks tone

Don Menza (think Buddy Rich: Time Check, Groovin' Hard, etc...) covers a whole lotta tenor turf in this 8-minute video monologue on developing saxophone tone.  If he wasn't enough of a stud already, his demo here seals the deal.

We're not worthy, we're not worthy . . . Menza is truly a master. Thanks for sharing this great video, Rick!

BTW, do you know anything about the adjoining video link to some guy who demos the concept of breaking in a new reed?

Incredible how he channels all the important jazz tenor players in history back to back. Makes it look effortless, not just their sound but their stuff also. Amazing. Thanks for finding and sharing, Rick!
