use to describe himself and his partner dave carr gary will also tell you that he and dave are going to do battle but he means in a friendly way of course in another jazz tradition called cutting musician stand head to head or toe to toe and see who can outdo whom so that's where we're going to have the friendly battle of sachs's between two twin cities pros gary berg and dave doesn't want to talk so i'll talk we're the local tenor titans in the in this is the battle all right next we're going to hear a tune called we die and in jazz jargon it's a flag waver that's the older term for the newer one instance of burner or it's burning in another good opportunity to compare our tenor saxophonist let's look at them physically gary berg is much more physical player who rocks back and forth and and grimaces and uses body language dave carr stands there practically stationary but either way works because the result is the same both play really exciting solos i'm particularly taken by dave's however here because i like the way he builds the solo without increasing the volume much or the tempo but simply by his choice of notes and his phrasing he builds the solo  intensity listen and watch for that also impressed with by the way in his soul is so exciting that i think it's kenny horse who lets out a yelp spontaneously and speaking of kenny i really like his dru one of the great sounds in jazz is that of two saxophones in unison or in harmony and that's what we get here from gary berg and dave car as they state the theme and also close with the theme to charlie parker's done a lead one of the things that you want to watch for here that i noticed was how dave carr listens while gary bird solos very intently and in fact seems to be mouthing perhaps what he anticipates from gary or mouthing what he's mauling in his own head that he's going to play when it's certain his turn says so also i like the fact that  they changed up things just a little bit here but it makes a big difference by allowing drummer kenney or sed to open the piece with an unaccompanied intro and by the way if you love the sound of two sex the phones together you've got to check out a group called super sax i'm sure many of you are familiar with them there you hear five saxophones in harmony and not only on the theme but in privatizations also very exciting the composer however i found that there's a co composer none other than comp bases which certainly was a surprise to me and probably is to some of you one of the things i like about this performance is that it's taken in a very nice medium tempo nice medium tempo groove that's my favorite tempo as a listener and i think we're in musician i would enjoy playing in that temple i know a lot of players do  just a quick observation of gary burke so here i thought that we heard a little more of the bottom and the top of his register here and that was a nice change also  at the end after having played the theme in the beginning in harmony at the end there either a little out of sync or they decided to play the ending theme in counterpoint go he's a tough act to follow but gary berg more than holds his own and as a result of this friendly competition between the two we may just get our best playing of the night on this to
