Al: Thanks for that link . . . I watched it. Yes, he had command of the altissimo, something I can't do, but wouldn't do if I could . . . see below.
Personal opinion . . . while I appreciate this tenor player's skills, he lost me when he went into the altissimo. I mean, he had a gorgeous, lush sound and obvious appealing technical skills all over the horn, but to my ears, all that altissimo pails in comparison to his sound within the horn's normal range.
Of course, I never have liked saxophones or brass played extremely high, especially saxophones being played above their keyed range. Maybe I'm biased (who, ME?!). I guess others will like it. DAVE
