Great stuff Pete. Rockin' sax solos.

Wow Pete, you’re a very talented guy!!! I added to my Spotify play list. Really great arrangements and recording quality! Are you playing tenor on all the tracks or are you mixing in alto and bari? Really nice playing and tone by your guitarist, not the muddy jazz sound that gets old for me. Thanks for sharing!

 

[Pete Thomas]

Yes I’m doing alto, tenor and baritone

Robin Bibi on guitar

Thanks all for the very kind words

Great sax playing across the board! Bibi has quite a resume! I thought I detected a blues background and a Stratocaster, which explains why I like his tone. Here’s probably where you tell me he used a hollow bodied Gibson, lol.

I can tell you about the amp though. Can you guess?

No, would you believe it was a plugin amp simulator in Logic Pro?

Well, can't argue with the end result and a lot easier to mic!

Robin did bring his amp to the session and wanted to use it at first, and was very dubious about the plugin, but as soon as he tried it he was knocked out. We did do quite a bit of tweaking with the settings and reverb of course.
