Great stuff- I actually just bought an Akai HeadRush loop sampler myself.... watch out for saw, percussion and sax jams coming soon. Actually my saw is great for this (in that it combines cowbell, cymbal, rub-board and theramin- I've done a few non-real time layer pieces with it and can get a good tom waits/massive attack thing going).
Do you reckon the guy's got his tenor double tracked on this video?

Several days later. Not as easy as he makes it look! Can do a whacky version of Low Rider on 'beat boxing' and and layered harmonica though!

Amazing, that guy really knows his way around those instruments, makes it look easy, which it's not!

I take my hat of for all saxplayers who can do something in that direction! I'm not capable, that's for sure.

Thanks for the info Tom,

Yup an impresssive performer, nice that he also does classical,

I also intend to do some church playing in 2010.

While travelling I go into churches and ask if I can play inside for the soul and spirit of the people & the building. So far I haven't been refused, usually no one around during the day, I do rehearse some suitable tunes for this environment, it's always an uplifting, relaxing thing to play and wander around the church & blow some sounds.

Did you know Jan Garbarek still plays in churches although he's never alone while doing so!

Cheers & Ciao

Ps Happy New Year

Ever heard 'trinity sessions' by the cowboy junkies (a sort of country version of fairport convention)? recorded in a church in canada using a single stereo mike- an album which is has some of the most beautiful 'sound ambience' I've ever come across...
