Hello Chad LB . I really want to feel it in your online band.
Would LOVE to see you in SF, but no tix listed for sale yet. Some day, until then, CZcams…
outstanding arrangement it breathes new life into standard
Man Melissa’s tone and control over the altissimo is absolutely wild
Sure is.Stars for that altissimo navigation.Shes definitely a presence on the sax scene.
saw her yesterday at a gig, still shocked by her skill level
@@thiesvb3971 Did you tell her to stop by & give me altissimo lessons??? Naw, I wouldn't be able to focus on SAX..
Melissa control and playing is amazing, so much work, Chad sounds for me a little bit more wild, and he dance a little bit more xddd
If I could have 1 ounce of Melissa's lyricism I would be a happy man. She's all finesse. It's insane!
The way Melissa's incredible lyricism and beautiful tone are woven into the backbone of her sublime storytelling as an improviser is stunning.
I remember going to a Jazz Band Camp in 2019 and Melissa came to our university to do a Masterclass for our group. She explained her whole story about her experiences growing up with music and her perfect pitch, she also performed a transcription of one of Chris Potter's solos, I cannot remember which tune it was but the articulation and everything sounded completely identical and amazing! We had small jazz ensembles who we played with for the following Jazz Band Camp Concert and Melissa came to our room and played alongside with us on Herbie's "Maiden Voyage" and it was a one-of-a-kind experience. One of the stories our instructors told us when she came to the campus was that she immediately asked to use a practice room; she told us that she would practice about 6-8 hours every day.
Melissa's clarity in that altissimo, my god
Melissa looks like she’s gonna cry but sounds so good. Such emotional playing I love It.
Thats because her lyrical playing comes from deep emotions and invariably, it will show as she plays. Melissa is never a cold, technical player.
Yes
Yeah!!! Sounds awesome - exactly what I was imagining when I wrote this. Congrats on a great project, and thanks for including me!
I just cant understand how organic this sounds when you are all recording from home. This is amazing!
Melissa is amazing Chad💛
Beautiful. Such beautiful solos. I love Melissa's playing.
Melissa is so creative both rhythmical and harmonically.
Orgullo Chileno, grande Melissa! Greetings from Chile! Nice video and arrengements Chad!
The arrangement sounds like Bob Mintzer and Maria Schneider Had a baby.
Yes
Lol yesssssss so true
Ha, ha.... Great analogy! 😊
on Dec. 25th.....
Two tenor titans!!
Reminds me of attending NTSU in 1964 and hearing the One O'Clock Lab Band's Fall concert with Billy Harper, Lou Marini, Tim Bell ,Galin Jeter, Jim Riggs, John Monaghan, Ed Soph.. we were in high excitement...always love a Lab Band sound. And yes... Melissa is the living end.
Grande Doña Melissa…!!! Un talento único, que calidad. Me fascinó..!! Grandes !!!
Oooh saw the notification and immediately clicked, I love this song and this interpretation!!
Two of my favorite tenors soaring high!!! I'm so glad you had Melissa in this one, Chad. Always loved how she spoke through the saxophone. More power to you and to all in this big band!!!
This is so good and tight too, the creative fightback is on ! Great arrangement .Buddy Rich Band would kill for this.
Genios, adoro como toca Melissa. Y Chad que puedo decir son de mis últimas influencias. Gracias por este valioso material
I get Maria Schneider Orchestra vibes from this arrangement.
You all inspired me to play my trombone again, thank you!
Excelente!!! Enorme Melissa, y Veracruz presente con Rey David!
The bests!!!!
Que belleza de ejecución....
Beautiful, soulful, deep solo, Melissa. Thank you!
yes!!
Todos lindos maravilhosos, e a melissinha nossa representante da america latina uma senhora cosmopolitana!
e logicamente o Chad grande aglitinador de talentos, e ele tambem é o maximo!
saudaçoes do Brasil!
Love this song tenor madness next!
Super!
Oh man! Chad and Melissa together. This is nirvana!
What a cool take on the tune! Beautifully played and produced, thanks for this!
Amazing as usual!
Man, i love this channel
I love this tune.
Beautiful!
Great to see you on Alto Lucia!!!!!
I love this!!!!!!!!!
That was good! Thanks a lot!
Great, I love it. Great arrangement, solos, etc.. THAAAAANKS!!!
I’d love to see you out in Salt Lake City sometime!!
Perfect!!! Yeah!!!
Amazing !
yo nice, he's coming to my state
and what a unique and groovy composition
Waiting for Melissa's drop, every time, this virtuoso Sonny-inspired bridge from no-ther Brooklyn like no-other, ad-ap_to/in..Or? Waiting for Melissa...
What a bloody classy arrangement. Smooth playing :)
I recognized Lucia Sarmiento. Playing alto instead of tenor.🎼👍
Muy muy grandes!!!!👍💪🎷
Mother Of God!!!!! What an amazing arrangement!!!! A long day at work and this made it all better….
Very Mintzer-esq, bravo!
Wow Aldana has such a laid back old soul sound I love it.
Chad!..
Melissa is so tasteful! Amazing playing.
YESSS Chad bringing the heat!!! Always on another level!!!
I’m always conflicted over these kind of arrangements where the harmonic re-compostion is so thorough that it’s difficult to hear the original song. Like hearing Herbie Hancock on his ‘New Standards’ tour and feeling simultaneously happy yet kinda confused!
Chad’s chops filled yang and Mellissa’s lyrical yin work well together!
I'm not conflicted at all, I think this arrangement is painful. (the players are all fantastic though!)
@@MiqelDotCom I wouldn't say painful but kinda agree. Superb playing, but is almost a full new tune, that way i like it very much. But if you take the cheerfull caracter, the joy of living, the straight from heart simplicity of the inmortal original, i fell something is missing here. They play overwhelmly fine, even emotively sometimes, Melissa specially.. But, with Rollins' your feet, yor hips...they move by themselves. This one is really hard to dance, lol
Personally I love the arrangement.
It just goes to prove that it would be a boring world if we all liked the same thing!
Thank you Chad, Melissa is a treat.
Yes sir
Yeah
Melissa... de Chile !
Chad sounds like the Greybeal kid on this. A great sound.
Stark 👍🏽
This was such a simple song
1:29 elegant!
Cool
Wooow😍
It's the Nexus vs. Mark VI comparison video we've all been waiting for! Personally, loving Chad's sound on the new horn and mouthpiece.
I think it’s more Melissa vs Chad :) you could swap the horns and they’d still sound like themselves
there is no Mark IV. it's a SBA.

그저 세인트…
Chad make a young cats big band for anyone 21 and under
Melissa is such an incredible musician.
Chad, look! Look! Look!
God and His Angels are dancing in Heaven's 🙏 Kingdom.
Yes! Wah'ow!
The Devil cannot help himself; he too is dancing, his being intimidated by the Global Woodwind and Brasswind Onslaught of Chad with his Organic (Real) Jazzicians.
How melodic, coherent and "orgasmic" Melissa can often be!
Her altissimoes are impeccably precise and within melodic and harmonic context.
What a storyteller is she!
Is Chad endeavoring to eclipse John Coltrane, Sal Nestico, Bob Berg, Michael Brecker, Wilton Felder, Stanley Turrentine - RIP -, Ernie Watts, George Gorgone, Jerry Bergongzi (sp), James Carter, Chris Potter, Joshua Redman et al?
What I do know is that Organic Real Jazz is 🔥 about one's being as explosively creative as possible.
Chad concurs excellently with ferocious practicality: virile tone, clarity of thought, agility and expressiveness.
Oh, I adore how he meaningfully contextualizes his overtone note-cluster!
Shall we not attempt to enlist Camille Thurman, super tenor saxophonist and vocalist who is smooth and fluent in her use of Organic Jazz vocabulary, phrases and sentences?
Is that a "yes"?
Excelentissimo, videttes.
i swear i close my eyes and i picture M Brecker
Nexus sounds more put together. The Selmer story is getting old.
lol.
Yo that's too smooth you playing too much with people's emotions on this one yall
Chad is kicking some major As* here, B U T I peeped his weakness....He's not pretty like her!!! Haaa
I feel like I am one of the only ones who just doesn't get this whole swooning thing over Melissa Aldana. Her playing sounds fundamental and forced. I just don't hear fluidity and fluency. Chad's mastery is more than obvious. Am I the only one who feels there is a bit of "Emperor's New Clothes" here? Sorry, but Chad seems to be carrying her. I downloaded an album or two of her stuff and all I heard was basic scale structures and what appeared to be more like simple etudes than melodic song structures. Forgive me if I am wrong or ignorant.
Melisa tone and improve like micahel brecker
This is Beyond Incredible playing #jeremybenoitjbsaax
