  2. Classical Saxophone
    One of my former students, very proud of him his tone, (especially on Soprano has come on leaps and bounds) & Altissimo register is just wonderful. I think only UK members can view this? http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p064s2kn

    Hi All Back from MusikMesse 2018 in Frankfurt. I only had one real day to take it in and I felt like I needed at least three. Anyway, here's my Vlog episode, (including getting to play the largest playable sax in the world!) My other highlights were, 1. finally getting to play the new...
  4. General History
    So after seeing my kids stuffing their faces with chocolate advent calendars and regaling them with how I had to share mine with my two siblings, and most years it was just a picture one! ;) I thought of an idea to share with the saxophone community through December. A different saxophonist...

  6. Selmer (Paris)
    Last year my first teacher, the reason I play jazz, the main reason I'm a musician passed away. It was a sad time and when his widow asked me to help find a new owner for his saxophone I gladly obliged. I hit a snag when the Serial number I was given placed in the horn in 1975 - a Mark VII...

    Hi everyone, Last summer a young filmmaker approached me at one of my gigs and asked me if he could make a short documentary film about me. I was flattered and a little nervous, but I'm pleased with the results and I hope you enjoy watching a fellow SOTW on gigs in Central London & Cambridge...

    Hi all you may or may not know that I've been at the forefront of using jazz music in churches across the UK over the past few years, I even got to lead jazz services in St. Paul's Cathedral, Ely Cathedral and Methodist Central Hall without being burnt alive! After much encouragement I have...

    Hi everyone I wanted to share this review I've just completed on the RS Berkley Chris Potter Tenor Mouthpiece. The only downside was it didn't come with Chris' technique! Great mouthpiece and I'm REALLY enjoying playing this, one of the best. http://danforshaw.com/wp/chris-potter-mouthpiece/

    I'm sure most of us are already aware of the 200th Birthday this Thursday of Adolphe Sax? I will be joining fellow SOTW'r Uwe Steinmetz as he hosts a concert with 200 saxophonists in Berlin. The thing is I'll actually be in Central London playing on the roof of Methodist Central Hall! We're...
  13. Alto mpc
    Hi everyone I've done a video review of the D'Addario Select Jazz Alto Mouthpiece, which you can find here http://cambridgesaxophone.com/wp/daddario-select-jazz-mouthpiece-review/ On the whole a great piece which fits into that 'first upgrade' price where the Selmer soloist, Meyer etc sit.
  14. Misc. Accessories
    Ok so I'm probably more like your average saxophone player than the beautiful people Jazz Lab use for their marketing ;) For years I have suffered from problems with different neck straps, even having to stop playing for a few months to allow things to calm down, a bit difficult as a pro player...

  19. General Mouthpiece Discussion
    Firstly, why did I want to purchase a new mouthpiece? Well, apart from the fact that nearly every player I know is still on the search for that elusive 'magical mouthpiece', I had a important recording date at the start of November and I knew that the "new vintage" hard rubber slant that I had...
