Introduction hello

[zygmunt]

Hi,

Music has been my passion for a lot of time. I've been listening to all styles, however my favourite are those crossing and blending the traditional genres (jazz and free jazz, classical/contemporary composition/pop/rock/folk/ hip hop etc).

Finally I've decided to start my own adventure with a saxophone and I now I am learning to play the tenor sax.

My other interests are climbing in the mountains, ski-alpinism, art and many others

If you're into mountaineering, first tune to learn 'High on the hill stood the lonely goatherd, etc.'
Welcome.

Hi guys,

Thank you so warm welcome. It's really nice of you all.
Here's my mountain blog, unfortunately in Polish, but there are plenty of photos.

At the moment I am trying to find people I could play with in my city, I have some good friends I can play with but but they live 200 km from my town so we can't play very often. Last week we had an opportunity to meet and we tried to 'deconstruct' 🙂 one of Charles Mingus' pieces. Actually he's one of my favourite jazzmen. Anybody likes him?

 

[Pete Thomas]

Oh yes, Reincarnation of a Lovebird, is one of my favourites, Haitian Fight Song and of course Goodbye Pork Pie Hat.

I saw Mingus art Ronnie Scotts many years ago, with Charles Macpherson on alto and Jon Faddis on trumpet.

Oh, and nice pics. Overshadows my little trek in the Andes. Do people ask you if you have played the saxophone on top of a mountain? If they'd actually been to 4634m they'd know why not.

Yep, nice melodies. I like many of his pieces and I guess I'd like to learn using his compositions.

So you were lucky. I wish I'd seen him in the sixties. I wish I saw a new Mingus 2day! But not a copy of course. Do you know somebody like that? Do you think a new Mingus was born?

Oh, I'd like to go to the Andes. At the moment I am trying to learn Spanish.

Love Blue Monk especially with Danny The Double Bass's words. It was also one of the reasons for returning to chromatic from diatonic instruments.
