Bravo, I challenge you to play saxophone part with a real tenor saxophone!

I was wilder on the saxophone back then, but that was in my 20s. 🙂

This recording is from 1984, which I found on a very old cassette. Thanks to Jor van der Poel's fix (removing thousands of clicks), I am able to post this short moment here.

 

"Great man, I can hear your influences!!

  I find it much less wild than what you're saying ;-)

I don't have many recordings from my jazz period; sadly, I can't play you the truly free pieces. But I agree the DADA Quartet is quite wild. 🙂

Very beautiful sound, expression and articulation, Janusz.

The sound reminds me a bit of George Coleman, with some alternate fingerings.

Happy to hear this side of your musicality.

All the best !

Julio

Indeed, but also Pharoah Sanders...

 

 

Could you provide us with some code examples?

how to work on a jazz standard with Opusmodus?

It would be great.

Yes, I know that post well, it's great!

I'm looking to start with something much simpler initially to understand how to gradually enrich both harmony and rhythm."

Yes, you can make some code from that one and customizing the rhythms and harmony.

Best !

Exactly Julio i try!

 

I think if we had a simple example of improvisation over a II-V-I chord progression maybe

(h (dm7) (g7)) (w (cmaj7)) with different ways of playing it,

exemple:

structure of 10 bars,

on 4/4,

create a melodic motif with melodic structures using numbering tones of scales.

exemple: major  1 2 3 5, dominante  1 2 3 5, minor 1 3 4 5
and
Transpose it 5 times

randomize the numbering with simple rhythmic variations,

it would be really appreciated.

One more recording from 1979, Frankfurt am Main, Germany
My later years (24) on sax.

 

very close to Coltrane years with Pharoah Sanders, Rashid Ali and Trane...;-)

Congratulations, Janusz !

Intense and expressive.

All the best,

Julio
