Introduction Introduction

[old hippie]

I'm an intermediate 76 year old tenor (1951 Beuscher Aristocrat 156) and alto (1921 Conn New Wonder II) player. I've been playing for my own enjoyment since the 1990s and am self taught. I live in a rural area and have never found others to play with.

I love playing ballads and, crazily enough, etudes. Unfortunately, I've never learned how to improvise and would like to learn one day. My playing has suffered in the last few years from arthritis in my hands but not so much that I can't play daily or stop slowly improving - although I'm slower than before.

I'm interested in vintage equipment and always learning about everything saxophone and jazz.

I'll likely be a lurker but will occasionally jump into a discussion.

Welcome old hippie, you’ve come to the right place for advice on impro. We’d love to hear some audio, improvising is not a necessity at all.

Don’t make it too occasional.
