My Jazz Improv

Im in the Black Suit with the Alto Saxophone, It's certainly not my best.... but it is all that I have on tape.

 

In the second Solo I do squeak, but that was a very high note and I had only gotten that saxophone that week (Brand New)

 

We did this at a craft fair, we had played earlier with the whole jazz band and then pulled this group together with who was left.

 

I've been playing the Alto for going on 7 years now, but Improv is still relatively new to me.

Ah sweet, I play alto for the most part, too. Were you going for F# or G on the slip? What model sax is it?

 

I was just going for the High F#, I really struggle with anything above the F#.

 

It is a Selmer AS230, I absolutely love it since my last was only a student Alto.

 

I haven't had any lessons before, but I plan on that soon seeing as I want to do something with music when I get into college.

Cool, my dad is a self taught musician, taught himself several instruments and he plays fairly well for his age. Keep it up, you never know when someone will need a fill in sax player for a gig....especially on the jazz scene.

Not to mention any studio work you can scrounge up. Lots of great musicians never really "get a break" but end up doing very well for themselves as studio musicians (recording musicians for solo performers' albums and such).

 

BTW, does the person holding the camera have Parkinson's?
