My little brother is learning how to play one with the school band, and since he's really enthusiastic with it, he practices a lot and he sounds good and does well with it. I also have a friend my age who plays saxophone better than anyone I have ever seen (in real life). But to me, the way they play it sounds plainly woodwind-ish, and not like you see on TV with like jazz musicians. So I'm just wondering how they get that jazz sound, because even my little expert friend can't play like that. I think maybe you have to have played it and practiced for a long time to get that jazz sound. (so I really respect yall saxophonists!)
