Introduction Hello from Bratislava

Hi, my name is Daniel and i´m very glad to join this forum. Just starting to learn this great instrument and I'll be glad to find a lot of experience, advice and tips from experienced people on the forum. I have an alto saxophone Markneukirchen Klingenthal, year of manufacture 1983. I am interested in the swing era and the big band period

Fantastic.
"Klingenthal" sounds like it should be its own instrument 😀

Have fun.

Welcome to the Café, Daniel @iamblichos .

Since you're interested in swing and the big band era, have you checked out the forum's Song of the Month and Ballad of the Month sections?

They have downloadable lead music sheets and backing tracks, and sample performances. They do not expire, so if one locates a song they enjoy, can comment on it, reference a link to their recorded play of it, etc. If desired, you can request critique comments on your performance.

Again welcome, and look forward to hearing from you again!
