I am an alto sax player myself, I have just made 1st chair, 1st band in the Florida all state high school jazz band, but I strive to be as skillful as you one day. you're basically my idol. I own a mark VI as well and I can relate to those Altissimo A's that you were having trouble with. I'm rocking a morgan jazz 6M (phenomenal mouthpiece, check it out), a vandoren optimum lig, and d'addario jazz select 2H unfiled reeds.
Fantastic playing, great solo, so expressive but yet still very melodic which I love. Thanks for some brilliant ideas for this tune which I love too.... Ha ha so much love in my comments :D
Man... I remember watching a video of yours playing a funk and I must say you've always been rocking on the sax! (or should I jazzing? [bad joke]) Nice to listen to your music :D

Great playing!......i like you better on tenor though! By the that alto looks nice but it seemed a bit ridge at first!....you did push until it started sounding good! Also proves a good player can sound good on almost any horn!.......bravo!
+daniel rodriguez Thanks a lot Daniel. I'd say practice with a metronome as much as possible, and listen a lot and try to play with recordings. I do have a couple of these saxes, they're really new, so there's only a few in existence at this point. If you're interested, send me an message, and I can get you more info on how to buy one.
+Brandon Inu Thank you! It's the first one out, but they will cost $2400.00. Full disclosure; I work for the store that sells them. If you are interested in trying one, send me a PM. Thanks again!
