Hey everyone!

Here's a video of a brand new tune of mine, called "Finally." I think the name really fits, as my mom has been on my case about writing her a tune forever now (I have tunes for my wife, dad, and even couple friends...doh).

This is from a gig last night at Club Bonafide in NYC. It features 3 of my friends killing it in the rhythm section- Billy Test on piano, Ethan O'Reilly on bass, and Anwar Marshall on drums. Once I go through the rest of the videos I'll see if anything else will go online. I hope you enjoy it!

Always good, Dave! Impressive that it's your tune.....and equally impressive that you get to do this on a regular basis and do it so well!

Thanks! Oh I do...I have a whole bunch of finished tunes that we play all the time, and a ton of other "partial" tunes. My issue is I always have ideas in my head, but never settle on one way to structure the entire tune out, so I end up with lots of pieces here and there.

Thanks for that! She definitely is, and she loved the tune. (actually told me to cut the tempo down a bit next time, so we'll see how that sounds!)

Listening to it now. Great rhythm section. Now that's a great alto sound! The tune is really happening!

You're on your way.

Edit: Is this a mouthpiece and reed combination you went to a couple of months back?

Whatever it is it's really working, a full alto sound. Lush even in the lows and mid ranges, which makes the highs and altissimo a nice contrast. Loving the player that you have become.

Thanks so much! The only thing I changed (a couple months ago) was I went back to a 3 medium from a 3 soft...same mouthpiece since I was 19, haha.
