I really like the sound you are getting on your Mark VI? tenor. What set-up and reed are you playing on to get that bit of "edge" when you push the sound a bit?

 

[bflateflat]

I'm playing a very middle of the road set up. 7stm usa (bought new in the day. If you bought a STM that's what you got.) and a hemke 2 1/2 reed. I use this set up for all types of gigs.

I`m looking forwards to (1) listening to the takes and (2 ) having a go. I`m unfortunately living out of boxes for the duration with no internet, barring public library. It`s kinda good in a way as I can at least practice without distraction. and I have doownloaded the BT and sheet onto a pendrive so that's a start. LOL

I guess all you need to think you are a great sax player is sunglasses and a hat.

Yeah, what an idiot eh? Everybody knows you also need a dog.

 

[Jeanette]

@Clivey looking forward to hearing it

Thanks J. I never understand why my tenor sounds more like a trumpet.

I don't see any posts above and someone has to be first and break the ice, so here goes. un usually Conn 10M tenor (silver plated needs a good polish)

1st Time Ever​

Just beautiful,loved it

 

[U CAN CALL ME AL]

Stylistically almost identical to my alto post, it's the only way I know how to play this number. My chops are pretty tired I played 3 big band gig over the weekend a lesson yesterday, ran through this a few times today by the end of this take my chops were going and was beginning to lose intonation.

1ST TIME CONN 12M​
