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.

Also the above should read, 3 HALF STEPS, not 3 and a half steps.

Do you understand that the alto saxophone is a , transposing instrument? If play a ,D, fingering on an alto sax it should sound like a ,F, on the concert piano witch is a ,concert C instrument.

I listened to it twice. The second time was thru my stereo and it sounded even better. It has a smokey jazz feel, I could hear those breathy notes. First time listeing I thought the last note was short but hearing it thru the stereo I found it to be spot on.

Hope you inspire others to post.

I own a Buescher Alto Aristocrat (1970) I think it is a very good horn similar to a Con.
