Introduction Howdy

[adamfier]

Well hello children. I'm Adam (ahh.. the name Adamfier makes sense 😛 ). I have been playing the saxophone for about 6 years. I play the tenor and soprano primarily, but play "The Main Four" almost daily. I perform in Symphonic, Marching, Jazz, Garage Jazz, and a Garage Ska Band. I love the saxophone and making music, it is my sanctuary from everything in life.

I have been reading the main website for like a year or so now and just decided to start using the forums. I am so glad to be surrounded by other losers just like me 😛

Howdy Adam and welcome from Welwyn. What are Garage Jazz and Garage Ska? Are they distinct musical genres, or just informal blowing sessions?

Cheers, Bob

A big Howdy right back at you Adam, from deep in the heart of Texas.

Garage means that it is a group of students who organize it. The Garage Jazz is just a small jazz group, alto, tenor, trombone, trumpet, guitar, bass, and set.

The Garage Ska is like rock music + saxophone/brass... like.. um.. the band Reel Big Fish...
