Many thanks for having a listen and the kind words guys.
I frankly am wondering if you're picking out the right bits as my solo. I was happy enough with it for what it was but am not sensing the uplift in energy you guys are picking up. Thanks though!
Wade, yes agree the head sounds rough but I guess that's what you get when you throw 10 assorted saxes of varying ability/experience and with differing strengths and weaknesses (and largely strangers to one another, including some relative beginners like me) together for a day with a rhythm section and 3 new tunes to play and improvise over. The clip I used was exactly what my partner recorded on her phone. I guess I should probably edit out the opening bars of the 3rd person's solo. I left the head in place though as the post is as much to let anyone who might be interested know what a day like that is about and how it sounds, as much as it is to showcase my little solo.
Thanks a lot Martin. It was great to meet you both on Saturday. Marie just captured a few snippets on her phone. I haven't had a chance to listen to them all through - she only emailed me the one I posted. I think she mainly tried to capture my bits but I'll try to see if there's anything there that you feature on.
Thanks Chris, very kind.
