Oh the tenor sax! Thank you, I didn't expect such a positive comment on that little experiment of mine. Promise to do better next time :) And yes, get a horn ( after years of playing beat-up Czech horn I was given as a gift when I was 14 - it's the one on the recording - , I finally treated myself with a Yamaha CustomZ YTS82 series a couple of month ago - I play every day now, can't get enough), let's jam.

Breathing I love the breath you capture in the closely mic'd tenor sax. The sax distorts some times, too loud, but the breath is fantastic. Half way thru, when the chord changes, the sax switches sides and changes effects, and I wondered why. The extra reverb was cool, yet slightly too roomy compared to the groove. But with any effects or none, its that breath that is so cool. Great playing. Hope you can create a melody and a more unique music bed next time, cuz your playing deserves it. Would you consider collaboration? Email me... Check out my latest song called Forge A New Life (MJRF)

Breathing Thank you, very perceptive and constructive comment. The sax changes balance and effects - true (I recorded the melody-in with a table-top PC mic, then went out and bought a standard issue low-imp dynamic RadioShack - sound was, of course, different, so instead of re-recording the whole thing, or trying to get the same sound, I just tried to make them different - like I said, that was an experiment...). Same goes for reverb settings :) As for collaboration - I WOULD LOVE TO (this is why I joined in a first place, I tried »THIS« at first, then found MacJams, and several other communities. Ideally, I would imagine a collab, which would start with the GB "sketch" of a tune, where the tracks would be replaced one by one by the original solos and parts by whoever would like to participate - I am new to doing this over the net and will need more info on technology... I will email you from home. Thanks again. iLYA PS. I have "World Out There" in my iTunes Library, but it's not listed on your page. Where did I get it from?... hmm...

Breathing "World Out There" was the original title to "I Wanna Fly" which is the name of the song listed in my MacJams profile. It is based loosely on a song World Out There from my show "Creature" but is so different I decided to rename it. It deserves to stand alone as its own composition, I think.

82z Yeah the 82z is a great model. I personally play an Alto YAS-82z but im thinking of getting a tenor 82z. I love your improvisation! I respect any sax player who can improvise and is not afraid to. Check out my latest song called I'm A Little China Boy

nothing like a REAL wind instrument GREAT sax! It's so refreshing to hear a REAL, live wind instrument playing on a tune here! You combined your live playing very well with the loops. Tobin is right that it would be even more fantastic with a more unique accompaniment, but this is a good tune as it stands. I like the two different sax sounds, which create an interesting mood, like "offstage" instrumentalists playing an orchestral piece. Your "live" wind playing is stimulating me to get a microphone so I can subject you all to my FRENCH HORN playing! I'm looking greatly forward to hearing more of your stuff.

Badalamento A little bit Angelo Badalamento, combined with eighties jazz feeling of B-movies. That was a compliment. :) |

Wow! A lot of jazz is improvising over a constantly repeating background. By that definition, you've got a wonderful song. You did well! The sound of the real instrument over MacJams was fantastic. Check out my latest song called Te Echo De Menos

Like This I like the atmosphere of it. It's sultry and breathy (sp?), a great, late-night, slow dance of a song. Good job. |

Wish I could play like that... Great sounding jazz-a little like Paul Desmond's stuff (even though he played alto). How close to the mic is the horn? In what kind of room are you recording in? sounds lovely Your tunes make me want to pick up the sax and learn! Check out my latest song called Picture in my Case

Wish I could play like that... Thank you. I record in a regular room with a dynamic stage mic (directional), all the reverberation and echo I add later in GarageBand. The proper position of the mic for recording is considered to be between your left hand and the bell, closer to the hand; but the actual mileage varies...

Deep Cat Hello, I'm commenting solely on the content. There's only so much you can expect from a radio shack mic. With that said, you're a deep cat. (ahh I miss talking like that). I listened to several pieces, the song featuring "Dar" was particularly nice, samba-esque, symmetrical. When I heard "Empty City Blues" that's when I realized "this guy is a serious composer". This song has a somewhat blues form and feel (ala Oliver Nelson) but harmonically it was ... different. I can imagine a film-maker hassling a composer for a Noir scene but wants the music to not be so predictable. Poor composer. Ah, but this is what he'd want. Very impressive.

I really got into this. I gave good ratings even though, as you said, there are a bunch of background loops because I thought your sax playing was cool, a lot of feeling. And the tenor worked so well with the loops. I played tenor sax in a band for years and currently don't have one. I have been thinking of getting one. Now I know I have to get one. It is my first love in instruments. Again, thanks for putting the song up.
