Great work, Mark! It's unbelievable you've only been playing for 9 months! Jeanette gave me a tip to look this BOTM up too (as a good way of practicing for long notes). I'll post my recording later in the month.Decided today to revisit some of my earlier attempts. So here is the first of these for your delectation.

My apologies, Mark, I read Rob Pealing's post above yours and mistakenly quoted his '9 months' in my reply to you. 3+ years makes a lot more sense! It doesn't sound like you're a slow learner. Although I've gradually picked up different styles of Big Band music during the last 10 years or so, I haven't improved my technique at all during that time. So as far as the instrument goes, we're on about the same level.A bit longer than that Mike just over 3 years now so a slow learner. But looking forward to your recordings.
I am I am
It's been 6 months!!!!!I am I am
Be patient woman !!
Absolutely beautiful!Well a promise is a promise so here is my version.
It is starting to make me cry for all the wrong reasons. The more I try and improve the worse it is getting. I have started producing a squeak I've never had before on sop so time to call it a day on this one, apologies, it is too sharp , not totally in time but a line in the sand can now be drawn.
I'm going to wash the other love in my life.......(Mx)

So you have done another recording.@Jeanette, Here is one from an inexperienced player. I took some time off from my homework, It is not note perfect and I lost the tone in the last 2 bars when I tried to make the last 7 beats more interesting. I would be grateful for suggestions for improvement.

And I’m looking forward to playing it.
