"Blue in Green" (Tenor saxophone feature.)

[thesaxman71]

Here is my version of "Blue in green", a great jazz tune that I have given a slightly more modern ballad feel to.
In this I went for a more classic jazz ballad feel in the style of the more contemporary Tenor sax players.
All feedback is welcome.
Thank you
Ian

It does doesn't it. I note you've had 41 views so I wonder if people listen and then go off reading other stuff and don't find their way back to comment 🙂

I know I will listen whilst reading and do try and go back 🙂

Guilty as charged, I was one , but I got side tracked. Let me remedy that.
Just playing of the highest standard, and more expressive than the guy you keep banging on about Michael something. LOL

cheers for that James, appreciated and flattered about the comparison tho I am not in his league, probably never will be but always striving to be....
i heard some of your stuff recently James and I got to say your playing has improved quite a bit since before your "little break" from here mon amigo!

Well you are still in the premier league🙂
I'm still sorting reeds, can't keep up, they change daily. And only getting 5 in a box is a bummer.
The 2h are turning out a bit on the soft side. Ok for the first 30 mins.
I am using a JJDV.NY Great piece
