        Aminn thats pretty cool i like that,i have had a go at this one my self quite a few times,but you have a good grasp on the improvising sounded great, what was you throwing around into it i could do with some of that.

          I enjoyed it. What model microphone are you using?

            Thanks guys!
            Jordan: I was just following the changes. At some points noodling up and down the D minor scale when I was playing the fast stuff. It’s mostly a ii V i in D minor for tenor (Concert C), and there’s a part in the middle where the chords go into a more major feel before going back into the ii V i. When improvising, its best to follow the changes as best as you can.
            Mel: I’m using an Audio-Technica AT2020 cardioid condenser mic, only about $100 when I got it.

              Gorgeous stuff Aminn–love your tone 🙂 Very inspiring to say the least. You mention what reeds you use, what MP are you using? Your playing is a great example how you can get a great, big tone on an Ebonite/Hard Rubber MP. Keep it up 🙂

                    well played Aminn,
                    theres two approaches to playing it and the one you’ve gone for is what i call the flowing approach which is dreamy smooth and silky.

                    because the backing track has a lot of swing, the other approach would be to jazz it more and put more swing into playing it. that would involve a lot more emphasis on it like starting out Dah Dat Dah Da Dat Dah Da Dah etc.. which is where singing it can first gives a stronger feel for where the emotions occur which you can then transfer to the sax when playing it.

                    Either way its well played

                        Liked that, have you used a cane reed on this
                        mouthpiece yet? I don’t like synthetic reeds,
                        I can always here the buzz from them and for
                        me you cant beat a good cane reed. Nice mouthpiece
                        like that deserves a good reed IMO still you played
                        it nicely.
                        Michael your right about the m/piece and how you can get
                        a nice tone and edge with HR pieces, I have just gone over
                        to a hard rubber from a metal which I played for many years,
                        just bought a 10MFAN=MERLOT 7* I am delighted with it, no
                        problem at all with the change over from the metal, sounds great
                        it has the sound I have wanted for a long time.
