Dear SOTW members,

your friendly recent comments on my version of Delta City Blues make me very interested in what you might think of the following new vids:

1) An original of me called "Allein" (lonesome), played on soprano:

2) Another original called "Mad-Eye Moody" (right, after the figure from Harry Potter):

Please enjoy!!! I'm looking forward to your feedback.

Best,
Alexander

sounds great-I listened to the first vid
can I borrow your bass player?
I have a record by Bill Evans soprano w/Danny Gottleib
I hear some of this influence possibly(?)

Beautiful soprano tone on Allein and I like the way you take your time and develop mood.

The second piece shows off your tenor chops and has you dancing on the edge much of the time. Works well as long as you don't fall off and creates excitement/tension.

Nice to have the Bass and drum solos starting each piece. Good idea for many reasons. Both have excellent and sensitive playing styles.

The guitarist is also good, but I don't like his fuzzy overdrive settings. Reminds me of some rock guitar "wannabe" busking with a battery powered amp. What he plays note wise is good, but the sound doesn't fit with the rest of the group's vibe and sounds cheap. Everybody else has a clean clear and sharp presence. A clean guitar sound would fit much better.

Great playing and well videoed/recorded.
