Happy Holidays from Einsteinium Quartet Some selections from our recent performance in the lobby preceding the Dance-along Nutcracker at Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco. The lobby was really live and we got surprisingly good audio. I'm on bari. Happy Holidays to you and yours! coach

Hi guys, I'd like to think I'm a (reasonably) seasoned player, but I'm having some big issues with tuning since my trumpet buddy has bought a new horn and as you can imagine it's driving me absolutely mad. I play most of the time in a section with said trumpeter, and 'till now we've been ok...

Hi, this is a tune from my concert at the Alexanderplatz Jazz Club in Rome. The tune is entitled "silent bob" : I usually write pieces full of chords and substitutions, but for the first time I wanted to write a minimalist tune, a sort of swing mantra with 2 chords, I think the tiltle represents...

Hi, how would I communicate with people that live near me, to share my love of playing saxophone? I have played several years on and off, but being self taught I have only played at home, with the odd performance for friends or colleagues at parties. It would be nice to get together with any...

My band is Progress, and a few days ago we got a recording of our show at Skinny's Ballroom in Austin! It's a board mix, but Skinny's usually does a good job of making board mix recordings sound pretty decent. We've put some videos up in the past, but the sound quality has always been a bit...

i know i posted a similar thread to this before but this time a wanted specific info on clip on mics. i'm very strongly considering buying one as i frequently find myself moving around on gigs and ending up of mic. however i really know NOTHING about sound engineering as normally ill just play...

When I was a teenager I spent hours listening to–and staring at–Joshua Redman’s album “Joshua Redman”. I dreamed of one day playing like him. Maybe even meeting him. I never imagined sitting at the Blue Note in NYC listening to him perform a song I wrote! Click here to listen. Joshua Redman...

Don’s glorious solo from the live "Americans In Europe" recording: transcription, analysis, and a clip! Here's what Sonny Stitt said about him: "Years ago the game was vicious, cutthroat. Can you imagine Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins, Chu Berry, Don Byas, and Ben Webster on the same little...
