Miscellaneous RNCM Sax day tomorrow (Sunday 2nd November)

[mrblackbat]

Is anyone going along?

 

[davidk]

I'll be there (look for a rather tall tenor player). I'll probably go to Andy Scott's workshop in the morning, and will be in the performance at 5pm. Full programme: RNCM Saxophone Day / Sun 2 Nov - Royal Northern College of Music

 

[Jeanette]

Yes

 

[Hankenstine]

No sadly... would have been good to have heard Branford Marsalis

 

[EdJ]

I hope all enjoy. I was way too slow. Most of my family are in N Wales so I could have combined it with visits. Next year hopefully. Thanks for flagging it

 

[Tenor Viol]

I was a bit slow too as it's easy enough for me to get to as I can get a direct train to Manchester Oxford Road and it's only a five minute walk or so to get to RNCM from there. The train takes about 90 minutes, longer if it needs a change at Preston.

Been a great day so far, Branford Marsalis concert next.

Well it was a good day…. But pretty disappointed with Branford’s gig. It was poorly rehearsed and pretty unprofessional (stopping two songs part way through!!!) It didn’t really feel like Branford wanted to be there, and not much chemistry between him and Julian Joseph.

Must admit I felt much the same. I did like his sop playing though. But considering we had paid to attend the concert if that was all I was going for I would have been disappointed.

Hi sound is great on soprano, on tenor I preferred it more ten/fifteen years ago.
