Hey everybody, here is a link to me playing all four parts to the saxophone soli of Benny Goodman’s King Porter Stomp, arranged by Fletcher Henderson!

Wow, you have the timing of a Swiss Watch!!!

nice Aminn, have you ever checked out the Charlie Parker’s sax quartet charts?
His solo’s transcribed and arranged for a sax quartet…crazy.
we used to try tackling them when I was in college…a real blast AND challenging!

Thanks everybody!

Saxomonica, it’s a JazzLab Saxharness. I got mine on Amazon right here:

It’s really nice; and takes all of the weight off of your neck and puts it onto your shoulders, which is much more comfortable.

Johnny, I have heard of those! I haven’t thought about trying to play through any of them but that sounds like a super great time and challenge!

Hey, that looks like a 1920’s Conn Alto, from the micro tuner on the neck. I have one, about 1926 from the serial number.

That indeed looks like a Conn alto for sure with the micro tuner! Great sound!

Thanks everybody! That is a Conn Chu Berry, New Wonder Series II alto! It was either made in 1927 or 1929; I bought it overhauled about a year ago. It plays great!

[Paul Romanow]

Those Conn’s do play great.

I picked up my ’26 Conn alto, ’74 King Tenor and a Noblet clarinet for $500 for the set about 25 years ago, had the Conn overhauled a couple of years ago. I love it.
