Boy, what fun you have playing that classical-style improvisation! And you are mixing in just a whiff of swing, too. You were wondering earlier, why you appear to sound the same on all instruments you tried. Listening to your playing, I would not worry about that. Your heart seems to be in the right place: express yourself in new music, all the time. I hope you have found an instrument you are comfortable with. Now forget about it and let your heart guide you.
Your music is luminous, major throughout. Mine comes out on the dark, tense side, minor throughout.
Dare be yourself! And keep it up, don't drop it again.
I really appreciate that
If I'm playing with background music, I have an easier time creating rhythms with more of a be-bop feel I've come to realize. I am no longer going to hate the way I play if it doesn't sound like others, I'm going to embrace my personal style of playing and let it grow, seeing where it leads.
I love my Cannonball! The feel, ergonomics, and the lower registry. Mid and High registry, response and resistance not as much - Which is why I'm simply saving up for a better quality sax neck (KB) I'm after the M61 Brass. That horn and that neck will be marvellous.
Going to do some practicing and then I'm heading to an open mic
Today is going to be fun! I'm thinking I'll play All of me followed by So What. This will be the third time on stage!
If you search me up on Instagram you'll see a bunch more clips of my playing - All with backing tracks. I thought about throwing them up on youtube but there no longer on my phone
I do have a video clip on youtube from 5 months ago, 1 month after picking the horn back up. I'm floored by the comparison, I didn't realize my tone, fluidity, articulation, Ideas have come as far as they have in such a short amount of time. Later this month I'm going to start private lessons with a phenomenal player "Jim Brenan" He will really help further develop my strengths and weaknesses.
Have a wonderful weekend guys
