SOTM December 2018 - Jingle Bells

[Guenne]

Thanks guys,
You feel a bit like a flagellant playing the next voice in multitrack after playing one a bit messy, hehe.
Lots to learn about yourself and your bad habits.

Cheers, Guenne

In the medley thread, it was mentioned that a few soprano and bari renditions might balance things out. Here is one on soprano, though I'm really hoping others who are far better than me will post.

That was fun! Thanks you.
It's great to hear the little saxes joining in. There's something jolly about a soprano sax version, in comparison to a tenor, which tends to be a bit more serious.
Who knows, maybe we'll get a 'nino as well.

I think it's their little elf-like voices.

The only trouble with this tune is that it's horribly sticky!

It keeps coming back hunting me all day long.

Only if it's in G#

 

[saxyjt]

Only if it's in G#

In any key!

recorded on my Bari! I thought while I was doing the cafe medley, I'd just mix this with the backing track and post it here as well.

That's great, many thanks. It sounds quite different on bari!
Any thanks for contribution to the medley as well.

In these ecologically aware times, re-use is good!
Thanks for the recording.

 

[U CAN CALL ME AL]

Well I suppose it is Xmas so in order to lower the tone and lend support here's my tenor version.I didn't think the the final altissimo G note was going to crack as the reed is getting a bit soft but it got there just!

Jingle jangle the nerves​

A good version. Many thanks.

Speaking as someone who has never managed to play an altissimo G, I am in awe of anyone who can.

I liked the modulation too.

Thanks for the reply nigeld

then it doesn't fit.
my newest recording is called jingle bell rock and is another melody

greetings from the black forest

Do you have the dots in Bb and a backing track?
Can you share it?

My attempt! I kept hearing 'Mariachi Band'. so I attempted (and spliced quite badly) a Mexican Trumpet sound for the solo. Wish I could have growled through the last part, but it's beyond me at the moment, so tried to swing and rock out the ending as best I could!

I thought you got the Mexican flavour rather well.
A good version - I enjoyed that.
