Just in case you’re wondering about the alien music.

Life on Mars

Hi Jake, its quite a long tune to tackle, well done!

[Jeff]

Hi Leo, thanks for the tune, much appreciated.

Here’s today’s recording.

Musk Music

My recordings may not be up to scratch, but they keep me motivated to practice.

Hi James, thanks, no it was my 64th on Monday 20th which was why I practised this tune.

[Jeff]

Thanks Guys, here’s one for my birthday.

Now I’m nearly flawed

[Jeff]

Hi Leo, thanks, that makes much more sense. So we should probably play with a little staccato aggression then.

[Jeff]

Hi Leo, do you know what Woke Up Clipped means?
I think it must be American slang as clipped in UK refers to a haircut.
I wonder if it means waking up in jail?

I’m practising the tune for alto, but getting everything right is tricky.
If anyone wants the alto version let me know.
Cheers Jeff

Hi Leo, I also have a 2nd hand YTS-62 which is an older model. I took it out today to try my tune I’ve been working on for about three weeks. Trying to capture the tune from an MP3 with the correct notation was very difficult, but I eventually finished. Perhaps you would like to try it (recent No. 13 Post). It does sound good and the challenging part will be to make it sound just like Ben’s rendition. If I can do a half-decent performance I’ll post it here. The good thing about saxes is they tend to keep their value my YAS-26 has gone from R18000 to R32000 new. Buying gear is expensive I’ve already collected a drawer full of MP’s whilst looking for the ideal dark tone I wanted.

[Jeff]

Hi Leo, very nicely played. One of my favourite tunes.
I must say my YAS62 sounds much better than the YAS26, but the YAS26 is easier to play.
There is much to be appreciated about the Pro saxes, but the problem is the much higher price.
