Just for fun, I wondered about a little recording project you might all like to participate in.
I have a basic blues in F backing track. If those of us who have some recording facility each play a chorus, I'll mix it all together on the track and post the final result.
If there are loads of people interested I'll maybe do a few more, but for now I can cope with about 8, so the first 8 that express an interest I'll send an mp3 of the backing track.
All you need do is record one chorus and send me back just the saxophone part as a wav file (44.1 kHz please) and I will put it all together - the SOTW blues.
The next round will be a little way off, but anyone interested should now contact me
Absolutely!!! You're smokin' on the the blues and everyone should get a chance to hear it. Hopefully Grant the Plant will get in on it too. He plays a mean blues.
I thought round 2 was great. This should be an ongoing thing. Thanks again Pete.
Ja mon.....Da ting is - It was bein' too much fun...or as we say here in the deep south - Yee Haw!
I'm gonna steal that lick of Dave's - Somehow I never thought to ride one of those trills up rather than down. Duh - tanks for the idea!......I probably ought to listen to more music with sax in it.....
Everybody had some good ideas......I too wouldn't mind giving it a go on a Tenor instead that 'ol "tin horn" alto I used....
Pete, thanks so much for doing this. It is a wonderful idea, one of the best I have seen all year on SOTW. And since I do some basic mixing for my covers band, I know that this stuff can take alot of time to splice it all together.
Wow. Nice job. Nice, tasteful playing, excellent recordings, and the mix sounds splendid. Thanks to all the players and props to Pete for putting it all together. Thanks!!
I'm playing an RPC 90R with a Rico Jazz Select 2M filed reed, on a late Mark VI alto. I just switched to this piece from my previous mpc, a Meyer 10M which I had been using for over 20 years. I just got the RPC 90R in July. It has so much more power, and I think it's going to work out to be a big improvement for me, but I am still working out how to play softly on the low end, and how to get clean startups to all notes consistently.
Pete really deserves a round on us. I musta emailed him 5 times with dumb technical questions. He has the patience of a saint. Accolades,Pete. You guys play great,too. Dave Wright - what MP you using? Your tone is the shizzle.
If current indicators are correct, you have a new part-time job, Pete!
