Put up a more in tune version But.I appear to have beggered my Wrist so loads of nonsense played as Improv

Sounds good Clive, hope the wrist sorts itself out quickly 🙂

Soprano solo and then sop/tenor duet to finish.

Moose, that was great, and very adventuresome to do a duet. Leaps and bounds!

Very nice version Clivey, what you call nonsense sounds great, wish my nonsense sounded as good as that!!

I've been struggling with this one. I can't get my head round it. I was trying to find a version that I can get into and came across this.

The quality of this post is quite poor compared to the Mp3 track I downloaded from amazon. The whole album is on amazon. I might invest when the sales come around. I'm off to try and get a recording done.

Amazon have a sample you can play to see the difference

Well here it is. It seemed to suit the sop but I can't believe how much the sop sounds like an alto. I've been neglecting the sop lately and it gets away from me in a couple of places. The backing track is a bit off the wall too.

@ Colin. I thought you sounded great and that you played well during your improv sections. You seem to sound great on all your horns despite being out of practice so "more power to you".. . I`ll be honest and say that I thought it might be a bit lengthy for repeated listens. I would probably prefer it about 2 thirds the length "as it is" or perhaps longer using more than one Sax say Sop/Tenor or Sop Bari kind of thing, As a "work out" it`s a fine length.🙂

Not listened to many of these but couldn't resist a sop version. Nice one Colin :clapping:

I had an idea that I might do something with several saxes but it's beyond me at the moment. It's a demanding piece and by the time I'd written the backing track and got the sop to play I was quite worn out.

Chris · Dec 20, 2013

Sounds good Colin, a little long perhaps. 2 or 3 saxes would sound great. Mind you if that's out of practice I'll have a big helping.🙂

Bari sax is probably not appropriate for this particular tune, but here goes;-

Lovely Colin, tone, articulation and phrasing really good as ever, wish I could come anywhere close. Wonder if it would have been more effective if a little shorter? Very pleasant listen though.

Al, no reason at all why a bari is inappropriate for this tune. I liked that very much. Nice ideas in the improv too.

Thank you

3rd Version LOL.

I liked the Bari Idea too They all have a place.

U CAN CALL ME AL · Dec 26, 2013

Thanks for the comments, I was conscious of ' holding back' when playing this maybe I'll try and loosen up a little next time.

Regards Al.

Dusted down my old alto, not played it seriously for at least three years. Amazingly plasticover reeds still play reasonably ok.

Chris · Dec 27, 2013

Alun, a couple of nice relaxed versions, both Bari and Alto. The tune seems to sit well on them both

Clivey, 3 versions in one month😉 Going to be calling you CliveyBoy😉 at this rate. Considering you thought you wouldn't have time, I guess we can expect a forth before new year >:)
