Cap Tenor
How Can I Make A Sort Of Raspy/Screaming Noise On A Tenor Sax?

To Give An Example, Kind Of Like Gato Barbieri In Europa – www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRIbuIeTew4

*PS: Sorry For Caps In All The 1st Letters, Horrible Habit :P *

Hum into your instrument while playing. This is called a growl. Very common in tenor sax players and it’s what the sax player in your link does. I like to use it all the time. You might accidentally stop playing and just hum or vice versa when you are first trying it. but it will take a few minutes to get the hang of it.

Experiment with the pitch you are singing and you will hear a difference in the growl.
