BOTM December 2016 Estate - Un Eté

[Chris]

Guys just wanted to say thanks to @saxyjt (jax) for hosting this month and for introducing most of us to a new tune.
Sorry the chest infection got in the way yet again of a version fro me Hopefully that will be fine for next month
January's host and song are all ready to go, all I will say some ballads are 'Classic's' and this is no exception
So thanks to Jax and to all you guys that have posted versions.

Happy new year.

All the best.

Chris..

I know it's a bit late in the game, but I didn't want to let the month expire without at least adding my very modest contribution. I struggled to get that and it's not as good as I would have hoped, but it's a start. And I really needed to 'prime the pump' as I like to say. It's usually easier after the first attempt.

It's limited (single chorus) and there are a few hic-ups by the end. But it's there!

Well done. Sounds good. That was a hard melody to start with.

Very kind of you @nigeld.

My wife's fed-up with this tune as I've been practicing it on sop, alto, tenor and bari for a month and she finds it depressing. I wanted to post a bari version, but I'm still unable to breath properly to deliver even a single chorus!

But I'll keep working on it, when the wife's not here.

@saxyjt great recording, first one is the hardest to post, looking forward to more

[U CAN CALL ME AL]

I somehow missed this BOTM. Have played this a couple of times lately. Struggling here to tame the top of my Jody Jazz DV MP and a new reed. Also the 5# and awkward (for me) bridge on YAS Mki alto. Warts and all.

I liked that! You make us forget the minor glitches very quickly.

Thanks for this version Al.
