Hey William, lots of good things going on there, way to go!
good to see you’re getting along not only with your new-ish sax gear but also garagband.

I’ll repeat what I’ve said to others here because it’s getting more noticable
in your playing and will help you improve a lot…

don’t allow your notes to end by stopping your breathing.
you are doing this constantly and it makes the note sound flat in doing so.
practice ending every note by stopping the reed with the tip of your tongue.
this will really improve your intonation and overall tone.

when we end notes by simply stopping the air flow we’re actually depriving the instrument of
necessary air support which of course leads to a thinner, flatter, wavery tone at the notes end.
stay strong with the air all the way through every note and then to end it do it with your tongue.

Hi William

I like that mellow buzz you are producing from your sax.

I’ve just ordered ‘Ultimate Movie Instrumental Solos’, Alfred Publishing, ISBN-13: 978-0-7390-9189-0. Which has 60 songs and this ‘MASH’ tune is included along with the Pink Panther, a bunch of Star Wars, Harry Potter and James Bond themes. That’s going to keep me busy for quite a while.

Happy New Year to all and may 2017 be a highly productive year for sax skills development.
Jeff
