    Not only does she have chops, technique rhythmic resilience, fluid phrasing and lyricism to spare, but Melissa Aldana also gets amazing tone out of her horn.

    Beautiful tone with great technique. Lots of cork showing on the neck, interestingly unusual.

    • @jedivideo6203
      @jedivideo6203 Před 3 lety +4

      The amount of cork showing does not necessarily indicate anything since repair techs often add longer corks when they replace them. Measuring the distance from the register hole on the neck would be more meaningful.

    I love her old school sound and the melodious nature of her improvisation. The low Bb and C arpeggio figures get really tiresome though in the end as she does it all the time. Ok she can play the bottom end of the horn. Overuse of the same idea gets a bit boring. Just saying.

  • @sylviaconstantinidis99

    Nice tone, except she punches low tones. Credit to whoever wrote out the solo she is reading...and reading it she does it well indeed.
