That link is correct. The click and play it button in my post is playing somebody else's song. At least for me.

Same for me, Sunray's link is fine, the souncloud link posted earlier, no idea what that's playing, very avant guarde, whatever it is.

😱 Now I know you are having a laugh with us ...

Babao - That's "Orrible"

Ok, enough 200bpm Calypso's for a bit 🙂 Back here to slow down a bit. Todays effort, bit better in places, not in others. Shame I can never get one go as I want all the way through 🙁

The @jimmylh posting troubles aside I've listenened on your soundcloud page and it's much better than your own description would suggest. I'm sure the mods and rockers on here will sort it.
@Tiberius nice second post taking a few liberties with the timing leaving spaces all help with these ultra slow pieces. Perfect one take recording doesn't happen for me often either, but it's a nice feeling when it happens. You'd better hurry with that roof before the rain sets in.

Another one from Chez Moi. A little different this time. I have to confess not being familiar with jazz waltz but would give it a go. I like the feel if not my take on it.

Edit: Every time I post mine, it's plays back some off the wall junk. Something is wrong with soundcloud right now....Not even my correct name is displayed. Some guy named Ouae....

As it's gone quiet again, so I'd best post again as it's my baby. This time I've cheated changed key to F and used an old backing track from when I was beginning to play saxophone. I"ve never recorded to it before!

The key of F fits the sax a lot better---especially on alto. The intonation is easier to handle since you don't have to hold that pesky high C#. I noticed that Getz recorded the tune in F as well.

I was in the pub the other night and a guy was asking me about keys for the band sit in. I told him to get Eb, Bb and F off. Of course the music finished and all every one heard was me shouting F off at him.

Many years ago, I was showing the directors our 'new' mainframe, in an effort to make this lump of metal sexy, a display sat on top, displaying the status of the various registers (labelled 0-9, plus A-F), along with whether this register was on or off. Of course, every time they glanced, it chose to display F OFF

Hi @jimmylh I really like the sound of your sop. I can't seem to get anywhere near the sound I have in my head but this is close. What's the setup? The sax was just bit little too quiet in the mix but nevertheless I really enjoyed listening. The improv suited the mood of the song, the melody was nicely played with a vibrato that was not too overbearing. Well done. Hope to hear more from you, the month is yet young plenty of time for thunderstorms.

Thanks! Yeah, it was too quiet in the mix. Microphone placement is a real challenge which I'm struggling with.
My setup: Yamaha 475 with the 4c mouth piece that came with it. Edit: Reed is a 3.0 Legere signature.

Really enjoyed that @jimmylh

Lots of activity and some very good versions so far.

Here goes with my tenor version using a BiaB backing track in concert F that I made - vibes rather than piano on this one.

@nigeld @rhysonsax thanks for posting at the moment I'm away so only able to listen on phone will listen again when home for a more critical appraisal. Liked what I heard on the phone.

Hi,

I took the opportunity to take one of my Alto pieces I have been planning to sell and play something (it has even lost it's place as 2nd piece in my alto case and must stay in the drawer) 🙂...
It's a Johannes Gerber Vintage II (I play a Johannes Gerber NY).
I also tried some of my Reverb's (Valhalla Room Verb) free presets..
So here it is, nothing special, nevertheless I hope you like it and don't mind the funny line at the beginning (to low Bb on Alto) and the funny chords at the end 🙂

Rainy Day

Cheers, Guenne

That was lovely and musical, as always. I really enjoyed it.

I think the reverb was really good, as was the whole recording.

Where was the backing track from ?
