Hello Jeff
This is a really good sax player who lives in Scotland ( I think) is name Ian Boyter.
Some good stuff from him on youtube, I love this type of blues and is what I am aiming for in my playing.
I’m definitely a fan of Ian’s playing too. Particularly what he post of him playing clarinet, which I’ve recently taken an interest in playing too in regards to New Orleans jazz style. Actually lucked up and bought a Selmer CL300 student level clarinet that is in good playing condition a couple of weeks ago for $20 bucks. Yes. $20. I was thrilled. And have been enjoying playing it. I can practice on it at night after my wife has gone to bed and when it’s just too late to play my tenor considering we live in an apartment and have neighbors.It definitely is a much different feel playing it than a tenor or alto though. Feels like I’m blowing through a clogged up straw.
Anyway, here’s a great one of Ian on clarinet that I just discovered last night that I really like:
And thank you for sharing that link of him playing the blues. I’d not heard or watched it before.

Nice one of Ian on clarinet, good luck on clarinet, I believe if you can play clarinet well
you will find it easier to master the sax a pro sax player once told me.
Loved listening to the bands in New Orleans that played the clarinet and soprano saxophones. Really gave me an appreciation for that style of music. 🙂
