Just a couple of youtube vids of my brother, Marshall, at the Aizen saxophone booth at NAMM this year playing their instruments and using some BiaB files I threw together, played back as mp3's on the iPod thru the Logitech speakers. Rhythm Changes Fixed camera on a stand, crowd noise is part of NAMM, it is what it is along those lines. When's the last time you heard Scrapple from the Apple bein' played at a NAMM show? This was the first time he'd played along to my backing tracvk, which I emailed to him while he was at the show. So he wasn't sure when and where all the TradeFours with Terry were gonna happen. Okay, so I put too many in there... www.marshallmcdonald.com That kid might just learn to blow one day. ... *grin* --Mac

That was fun!
It strikes me, from the Scrapple video, he prefers alto?
Those Aizen saxes and mouthpieces sound great! I hadn't heard of them before. Need to look them up.

He is actually a great clarinetist. Foundation in classical clarinet, just like my foundation was in classical trumpet. Then we heard the Bird... I've told him to push the clarinet out front more. So did Lionel Hampton. Marshall is right now playing Alto with the Count Basie Orchestra, though. But you oughtta hear him blow Bird stuff outta that darn licorice stick sometime. Thanks, Matt. Here's Marshall followin' in big brothers NAMM footsteps, a long time ago at a NAMM show I almost got myself fired for leaving the booth I was hired to play at and goin' out there head choppin'. All those jam sessions, man. What's a cat to do? Marshall heard Cherokee and went a-lookin', sax strapped on. Great drummer here IMO, youngster be channelin' old Klookmop at the thing.

That was fun, too!
Yeah, kid on drums was makin' it. Bass wasn't bad at that tempo, either, and the song was longer than they planned on... Ever see Bill Cosby talk about playing Cherokee? Fabulous.
All this at the Legere booth? I really dislike those plastic reeds. Can't argue with that sax player's success, though. Good fun all around.
Thanks for sharing!

Yes indeedy, Bill Cosby on his short-lived drumming career is a classic! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Zn-P0ZH3_M With Jack Benny on the side, no less. Actually, The Cos really does know the rudiments and the kit, I once got to see him sit in with the bigband at Playboy Jazzfest, he may not be a pro-grade drummer, but he can hold court when he isn't mugging for the laughs. Here's Bill in Philly workin' a bit with a Drumline of kids, wish it were longer because at one point he got kinda serious with the kids, you know, show 'em what's up... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8dijFU0i0M Music is part of the well-rounded education. Or at least, it should be. --Mac

Mac, Marshall makes it look so easy! WOW. Good stuff at NAMM this year.  Gary
I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!

I liked the music. Never was into clarinets, but it runs in the family. Never been to NAMM. Sounds like fun except for the walking. Man I hated trade shows in the day.

Mac, I missed him by 1/2 hour. I left my card with the folks at the booth. Haven't heard whether Marshall got my card or not. I had a 1:00 PM flight out of John Wayne and it was 10:00 AM when I stopped by at the booth. You know LA traffic. I couldn't wait.

Your brother is one fantastic musician!
Thanx for sharing.

Damn Mac!! The be bop tradition is alive and well in your family! Awesome. Sad about all the noise in the background. Would love to see a video of both of playing. Really enjoyed this Mac, thanks!

Mac your baby brother is awesome. Thanks for the links.
BTW when will we get to see a video of Mac in action? It would be fun to watch you perform before a dance crowd. I've done that. Then lost the darned tape. Ah well. Now I have a video cam for when (if) I get out and start playing again.
Hey Danny? How you? Got a video of you?
