    Starting a combo

    I'm certainly not the most experienced individual in the world, but I've been playing in a jazz combo of some form or another for the past 5 years, and a bit over a year ago I started up the group I'm currently with, Zarathustra.

    The horse is dead or is it?

    Thread Starter: Pete Thomas

    At the risk of incurring the wrath of those who don't want another materials discussion, I am offering these comparison soundfiles as one of the most meaningful yet.

    Thread Starter: Chili Pepper

Lullaby of Birdland (much too long and has no ending) Someday my prince will come (December's TOTM on a...

    Selmer Mark VI Owners Club

    Thread Starter: Helen

    I did some searches, and I didn't come up with a thread like this, so I hope I'm not duplicating. :shock: OK boys and girls, so it's fess up time. Given all the Mark VI threads around, I thought it would be kind of fun to see how many of the 16,000+ SOTW members actually own one or more of the...

    Re: Next sax?

    I've never seen a Barone from up close, but I'm ready to believe what you say - my Cannonball, for instance, has a superb build quality - it's still the most comfortable tenor I've ever played, bar...

    Re: Everyone's Into the Dex....who else is inspiring?

    Let's not forget Arnett Cobb and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis.
