NYO Jazz Saxophone Sectional with Erica von Kleist

Expert saxophonist and NYO Jazz 2018 faculty member Erica von Kleist leads a sectional with the members of the saxophone section.
In the summer of 2018, gifted young jazz musicians from across the country came together to study with and learn from world-class jazz masters during the inaugural season of NYO Jazz, under the artistic leadership of trumpeter, Sean Jones. A completely free program for all participants, NYO Jazz gives young musicians the opportunity to perform as cultural ambassadors on an international stage and share a uniquely American musical genre with cultures around the world through an international tour each summer.

Two years later, and I am still coming back to this video... their section sounds so tight! Awesome work guys!

Love this video. A great example of constructive and supportive teaching. No coddling, but no "Whiplash"-type nuclear obliteration of a musician's self-confidence. These guys sound so tight. Erica von Kleist makes them think about how to sound tighter. Her work came through in their performances in NYC and Europe.

5:53 they start playing tiptoe by Thad Jones. The pieces before that I’m not sure off

I believe the first tune is “to you” by Thad Jones
