I liked this, to me it had a 60’s kind of feel to it. I just kept thinking what a complement she could have been singing duet with Joe Cocker back in the 60’s. Sax solo was great. This song arrangement was very good.

I think the answer to the question is the saxophone is a “transposing instrument”.

My first thought was EQ the mic sounded hot to me. next thought was to lower recording level in audacity.

I made a mistake, piano plays the A, alto sax Plays the fingering for F#. not as stated above. Also the above should read, 3 HALF STEPS, not 3 and a half steps.

Nika, maybe I this will help. Do you understand that the alto saxophone is a , transposing instrument?
