Hello!
I am going to be performing Candy Dulfer's Lily Was Here in a few weeks on my alto for a talent competition, and, while I'm solid on notes, rhythms, etc., I'm still struggling to get that amazing sound that she achieves on the album.
See my sig for my alto setup. I'm running it all through a Samson Airline 77 wireless mic system through a Lexicon MX200 Effects Unit to add a bit of reverb and delay, going out into a PA and speaker. I also have an MXR 10-Band Graphic EQ Stompbox that I might consider running through, but I'm clueless as to which frequencies to boost/cut.
(As a side note, I'm using a Rico Metalite on my Tenor, which I like the sound of, and I'm wondering: would a Metalite or a Graftonite be a wise option for this gig?)
What do you guys recommend for getting as close to Candy's sound on Lily Was Here or even Sanborn's sound without going out and buying a Mark VI and a Dukoff D8 🙂? Be it technique, mouthpiece, reed, EQ, verb/delay settings, anything. I just don't have hundreds of dollars to go out and spend, so try to keep that in mind, please.
Thanks a bunch!
