https://soundcloud.com/alex-nyman-759436259%2Fas-we-speak-sanborn There's little point in me trying to emulate David Sanborn's sound as it's well beyond me. So what I can do is at least play a track of his. This is one of my favourites from him. I've just uploaded another 2 Sanborn tracks along with this one to my Soundcloud account. As always thank you sincerely for listening if you have time. It's much appreciated. Kind regards. Alex

Sounds great! If you want to get really nit-picky about it I'd say maybe try emulating the articulation also. It sounds great though.
Thanks Chinux. I'll keep that in mind for next time. My idea is normally to not copy what someone else has done down to the smallest detail with the original as, well, it's already been done so I try to be respectful to the original and then add my take on it. There are a lot of guys out there doing the Sanborn thing (Chris Hunter springs to mind) and doing it very well. But it's not me. I really like a lot of his material and it's great to have some decent backing tracks to work with like these ones from Aebersold. Kind regards, Alex

You've shown that this song works just as well on alto as it does on the original soprano (strange to have to say that about a Sanborn tune). Very nice job.
Thanks LostConn very kind of you. I'd forgotten he did that on Sop until I listened back to the original after recording the track. Kind regards, Alex

I hope people realize how well you sync the time and intonation and feel. It sounds effortless but IM sure is the result of much work. You should be proud of this K (and I love sanborn.. (
