Gary Campbell Says

“I just watched new DVD “The Music of George Garzone and the Triadic Chromatic Approach.”. First of all, George and the other cats sound beautiful and the performances alone are worth the price of the DVD. As a player and teacher myself, it’s a real pleasure and inspiration to see George demonstrate his approach. Jazz is about personal expression and discovery, and George’s way really emphasizes that process – not stock solutions to generic issues, but how to search, meditate, and find your voice. Now the whole world can hear his enlightened message through this DVD. A unique and beautiful contribution by one of today’s true masters.”

Gary Campbell – Recording Artist, Author, and Associate Professor of Jazz Studies/Saxophone, Coordinator – Jazz Performance at Florida International University

Thanks a lot for your interest Todd. You bring up a very good point. When we first put up the DVD webpage we forgot to state that we have PDF’s on the DVD that you’ll be able to print out, with written examples and exercises. There will not be a book because George doesn’t believe that the concept should be taught like that. I believe that the written material that we’re providing will be more than sufficient to make sure that the student understands what’s going on and knows how to proceed. The whole point is that George doesn’t want people memorizing lines that turn into patterns. The beauty and freshness of the concept is that you won’t be playing repetitive lines, licks or patterns. I think that you’ll be using this DVD for many years to come and that once you have it you’ll really help us spread the word.

This is a unique look into the music and the innovative jazz improvisation concept of one of the greatest saxophonists of our time. Besides having the actual lessons teaching the Triadic Chromatic Approach, you get an albums worth of performances, the lesson on sound, the interactive play-alongs where you actually get to trade choruses with George the interviews and more. The overall effect is more like actually studying with George privately week after week. Because if you were George’s private student you would probably go to some of his gigs and see him play live, you would get to improvise with him in the lessons, and very importantly, George would give you advice and encouragement on many subjects. Throughout the DVD you are getting little pearls of wisdom from George that you would get from a mentor type of relationship. Imagine if we had this kind of comprehensive and intimate look at John Coltrane. A DVD like that would be priceless. The Music of George Garzone & The Triadic Concept”, is just like my mouthpieces, in that I make mouthpieces that I want to play and this DVD is exactly what I would want to see.

I ask George questions about his saxophone sound and the result is 17 different tips on how to get your best saxophone sound. Including tips on embouchure, breathing, vibrato, practice techniques, his daily practice regimen, mouthpieces, reeds, etc., and the great thing is he demonstrates everything with that beautiful sound. Along the way we learn about George’s early years as a teenager and how he got his “family given sound”. As George says, “Sound is everything”, and “Garzone on Sound” will give you everything you need to know to get the best saxophone sound of your life.
