Howdy,

Here's some videos from recent performances I've been in.

I'd appreciate any comments, criticism, advice you could give me that I could work on next year.

The reggae band I'm playing in (was rocking the moustache for Movember :))
Love, Peace and Harmony, Take Me to Paradise, Say Ai, Higher to Zion, Postcards in the Rain and Jah Reigns.

Blues jam at a party - Link 1 (tenor, I'm the second sax player to solo), 5:15 start and Link 2 (crusty soprano), 7:47 start.

Got to jam with a band - tenor, 7:15 start.

Cheers,

Dave

Howdy,

Thanks for the feedback :) It's interesting that you've guessed the MP as a link...I guess the v16 is not hugely different? I'm not convinced after maybe a year and a half of casual playing on that MP that I am used to it either - on some of the TOTMs I can be heard to go quite sharp in the upper octave...
I'll give the reed strength back-off a go, at least while there's not much happening gig-wise.

I had a PA amp/speaker just for me and used a plasticover (on the same MP) for the 'on the road again' which probably is the difference. For some reason I just couldn't get my mind into more melodic things that whole night with that band :-/

Cheers,

Dave
