sax

i'm not a sax player, and i'm not even sure exactly what you mean, but i think it may be accomplished by slapping the tongue against the reed/mouthpiece. do you mean like the mats gusatffson thing? -jesse

Hi! :

I'd also like to learn some of the tricks Zorn makes with his horn. Particularly his propulsive, quasi percussive technique that goes like this : "PrrrrrrrrrrRt Pchhhht Ppp pPPp Pchhht" (sorry fot the transcription, i don't know how to describe it, I hope someone undestands me!) Evan Parker and Briggan Kraus also do this. It can be found in many Zorn recordings. My teacher doesn't know how he does it, he says that maybe playing very fast many notes and in the way he throws the air, he tried but he didn't succeed. Can anybody help?

Thanks

Rafa
