        Cool pic on the soundcloud upload Jake 🙂 Seems like lots of folks are turning to site like Soundcloud more and more v.s. youtube, they’re really tired of all the copyright claim garbage when all’s they’re trying to do is share their music with other folks.
        Nice go at this great song, the notes are simple to play but it’s a real workout on our demands for air support….this song as not as easy as the sheet music may appear 🙂 Focus on the articulation with this song, as well throwing some real gritty growls & scoops on select notes. Great job Jake, keep rockin 🙂

          Jake, thanks for the upload and display of the DG Fatboy. Sounds like your getting the tone you are pursuing. I think I would like to make the leap and get one as well, but on the fence with the choice since I can’t seem to make the time to practice and make good progress on my saxes and/or my playing ability. I seem to be at a level of barely maintaining the skills to play, embrochure can hardly hang in there for the length of a song, limited practice times result in any form of regimen(s) to improve pretty much shelved in leu of picking some things to play to get some enjoyment before “time’s up”.
          Sorry to use this reply for this off topic content, just struggling with life’s roller coaster ride where the track ahead and it’s “g-forces” have me just focused on holding on…

            Some great sax Jake. How do you get a picture posted with soundcloud. I also listened to Runaround. You filled in very nicely with your sax. I was looking at your sax. Nice looking horn. Almost looks like a beri. Horn sounds great.

                Thanks for the comments guys. William my profile pic on soundcloud is me playing my Bari sax. Lol. There should be an option in soundcloud to add a pic somewhere in the profile settings.

                Also this recording is straight to my iPhone and uploaded. There’s a little reverb but no editing and tweaking after the recording. I’m overall very happy with the sound I am getting now. Now I need to get real comfy with this mouthpiece and make it my own. Lol.

                        Hey Jake! I’m VERY CRITICAL when I listen to music! Your timing to the the music was pretty much SPOT ON! And you gave me happy feet! I’m spending ALOT of my time fixing up the two saxes that I got off of EBay. The Alto is completely PERFECT! The Tenor, I’m fully restoring it. I ripped the whole thing apart Sunday, polished the body with Flitz. BEAUTIFUL! shines like new! Now I need to clean and polish all of the nickel plated keys. I’m going to recork and refelt the entire thing. And ordering a complete custom made set of pads that I will be installing myself. Then I need to leak light and adjust the pads. Then I need to adjust the regulation. THEN….POSSIBLY I can get some practice time in. Heh! I keep getting stuck remembering past 5 notes…any advice on remembering all those notes?
