Ciao and jeep you safe.

An excellent upbeat version.
I liked the improvisation.

Ciao.

Totally different feel on that one.
Personally I liked them both.

Great to hear you. That sounded excellent.
And a very pretty horn too. Congratulations.

Nice playing. I'm not familiar with the layout of the 30M. What's the extra key between the F and E keys?

It is a G# trill key. Common to most Conns I think?

Here's my effort on Soprano. Have a great Sunday afternoon!

Thanks for that one. You've still got the alto version to go!
I think that on the whole I like your tenor version best so far, but I think that's partly because the song seems to suit tenor.

Here we go (as promised @Mark Hancock) - just a simple take on the melody for now. Unfortunately didn't have so much time to practice and perfect the tune - this was more a test of my new recording setup, and must say I'm fairly happy with the sound I'm getting!

That sounds great. Well played.
Tell us about your new recording setup.

Tell us about your new recording setup.

Thank you! I'm using an AKG C214 microphone through a Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd gen, which is the same as I've had for a while besides getting the latest Focusrite, however I now also have the below booth from Studiobricks. I was getting some really harsh upper sounds in the upper register before I installed a bunch of new absorbers and the bass trap, now I think it sounds pretty much like I want it to. @Mark Hancock has been helpful in sharing his own experience with how to set up a practice booth

I've definitely spent a lot more time getting the booth ready than playing, but now that it's good I'll have more time for the sax

I really like Sonny Stitt's recording on alto that @nigeld posted at the top of the thread, so tried to make a backing track in the same key and with a similar feel. Here is my recording on alto (Sorry Stitt).

A nice version.
I'm sure Mr Stitt would be pleased to be imitated.
