I tend to associate you with tenor, nice to hear you playing alto. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

[bflateflat]

All done on Tenor!

Good evening,

a little bit of Bari with some emulation of EMT-140 reverb and Studer 800 tape machine 🙂

Thank you Jeanette and Rhys, I really appreciate it 🙂 - I'll be uploading more soon enough!

@Guenne Lovely bari version, very intimate

Even less time to play than normal overhere, but I just found this evening a short time frame to do a quick and dirty take (I did slow down the provided backing by 12%). Played on a new metal Theo Wanne Durga 12* mouthpiece with an old Plasticover 2 reed and no preparation.

Didn't listen to other takes yet, hope to be able to do that later this month (but my program is overloaded, will leave tomorrow for a week to the UK, so not sure if I can).

lovely tone there mrpeebee - never knew anyone could sound that nice with a plasticover!!😵
Really nice blues licks over the changes.😎

 

[Guenne]

I agree.
Pete Christlieb, one of my favorites, plays them too.
Also on a mouthpiece you can park your car in (Berg Larsen in this case).

Cheers,
Guenne

Thanks fibracell and Guenne for the nice comments 🙂. I was actually very surprised when I tried one of those Plasticovers after having played for a long time La Voz. La Voz is considered to be a dark reed, but I can actually get a darker sound out of the Plasticovers (maybe because I play very big tip sizes). Anyhow, I like them for the moment and they can get gritty too.

I also did in the same recording session a take in the original (faster) tempo of the backing and thought I might share that one too:

Finally just under the wire. Here is my alto version played on a Selmer SBA using my "classical mouthpiece" a Rousseau 5R since I am practicing a lot to play in my University Alumni Band this summer. I didn't have a picture of a beautiful woman to represent "easy living" like the one on the Desmond album, so I substituted another one I had on hand to put with my Sound Cloud recording. 🙂 Easy Living

Loving the springer.

Completely missed this months tune.
Glad I didn't miss your take though.
Great sound you're getting there, very envious.

You're right, but I doubt I'll find the time for a while.
Busy with work as well as preparing the house for sale in the next few weeks.
Still I'll try and sneak one in.
