Hey,
after practicing only tenor the last weeks I decided to give my altos a blow.
Playback is Hal Leonard Miles Davis...
One half of the tune is written out, I followed loosely, the other half is improvised.
Altos are Yanagisawa 992, Selmer Reference 54 and Selmer Mark VII.
If you like, guess which is 1, 2, and 3.
I'm always surprised myself how it feels while playing, and how it sounds in the end.
iPad recording, Apogee Duet, Nohypeaudio LRM2.
No hiding behind subtone possible, hehe.

P.S.: I have listened through most of the versions, there are some very professional ones, wow!
