There doesn't seem to be a link to the recording.
Edit - Oddly, I can follow the link from my quote, but not in your post - Is there something wrong with the HTML?

Nice job for a first take. Thanks for having the courage to be the first to jump in. That is a lovely backing track. Do you mind sharing where you got it? Bb is a challenging key on tenor because of the range of the notes, but you handled it quite well.

The song works very well as a bossa. You play it with nice energy. Thanks for your contribution which shows others what variations are possible. If you don't mind my asking, what strength reed you are playing on your Jody Jazz 7 mp?

Thanks,

I have used Hartmann Fiberreed Carbon M (Medium) comparable to a 2.5 strenght.

I have used the JJ mp for the first time on soprano and I think taht it's very easy to use.

what a nice track - hadn't heard this one before. Had a quick listen to U can call me Al and guido's versions then attempted a quick take. Those fancy chords are hard to decipher when you're sight-reading!

Had a tenor heavy gig schedule this summer so fancied getting the alto out again for this one - still loving my Kanee NY for stuff like this.

It is always nice to hear an alto version in the ballad of the month. You handled the "fancy chords" quite well in your improvisation. Your solo demonstrates a lot of creativity as well as good listening skills. Hope to hear more from you in the future.

the D#m7b5 is the one that really had me panicked - too much to process!

Another take on soprano, this time using Drake SOS 7 and another backing track

And now I can put the soprano back again; bye bye Soprano, I'll play you again in a couple of months 🙂

Ciao

the D#m7b5 is the one that really had me panicked - too much to process!

Here is a "trick" that I use to help me navigate a "half diminished" chord. If you take any major 7th chord and raise the root by 1/2 step you get a half diminished chord on that new tonic. In the example you gave, the D#m7b5 spelled D# - F# - A - C# is simply the D maj7 D - F# - A - C# with the root (D) raised a half step to D#.

If I talk about which "mode" Aebersold says to use with that chord it will just "stir the pot" once again and upset Pete Thomas so I won't say it is the "super locrian". 😛

The chord is in the silence 😉

I really enjoyed your version, Al and thanks for sharing the tracks!

Beautiful versions. Regarding Nat King Cole, he's a great singer and possibly the most underrated jazz pianist of his time, probably because he sung so well and became hugely famous for it. My purpose in posting though, is to let you know that there's a documentary called Afraid of the Dark that talks about the amazing courage of Nat and how he powered on in the face of so much adversity. We're so fortunate he was recorded well and we can listen to him now. That film is available on Netflix. Inspiring!

I did record this evening two quick and dirty version., one with backing track and one without.

Here is the solo sax version (as recorded, no effects added):

- 'That's All' (Florida no USA 10* - Rico Royal 2) - solo sax:
MP3 Player SoundClick

Last Saturday I had a gig with the Big Band I play first tenor in. We also had 'That's All' on the set-list. No solo's, but it has some nice sax section lines. Recorded with a mobile phone, so the sound quality is not the best. Luckily for you I'm hidden behind the conductor (I'm the second sax from the left)!

- 'That's All' (Q Big Band - Vlaardingen - 2018-09-01):

I will post the the sax take with backing track later this month.
