I wonder how Aminn is doing at college in Chicago? Haven’t seen any posts for a long time. Must be busy.

Jeff – So glad to hear that you like your cd box set. Gene has a great thick warm sound. He played with so many of the big names.

Great clip of your teacher sxpoet!

sxpoet – great feedback to Jeff!

Saxo – great video with Colin and Johnny!

Good videos Sxpoet. It does feel like I do play until the cows come home some days.

Keith – Nice Jam video!

I have the Tonal Energy and I like it. I also use the DA Tuner Lite which is a free tone app.

Good One Sxpoet!!

I haven’t seen the box set. I have been listening to his albums on Spotify and You Tube.

Jak – I enjoyed the Getz song. Ammons played a Conn 10M early in his career before switching to a Mark VI. In the 50’s and 60’s he played a Brihart Ebolin Tenor Mouthpiece. Check it out. Amazing!

Jak – Ammons and Von Freeman were the founders of the Chicago School of Tenor Saxophone. When I heard this song I thought of Von Freeman. I like Ammons sound a lot. Lots of his music on Spotify.

Enjoyed it all sxpoet!

You have to scroll down to the two little boys playing keyboard and saxaphone

She’s a beauty Simon!

Prayers going out for both Jak and Johnny!

I have no problems with the strap slipping off the shoulders

Good to see you posting Jak! Wishing the best for you in 2018!
