  1. I was out back, in the oak tree's shade, working long tones on the curvy soprano, and I saw the shadow of a bird. A catbird, curious, was hopping his way down the low branches just above me, to see what was this strange sound.

    Not the first time. I remember being inspected by a hummingbird when playing straight soprano on the patio a few year's ago.

    And it was always my dog's favorite.

    Something about soprano.

  2. "Songbird" is a song by #KennyG, played on a #sopranoSaxophone, and the third #single from his 1986 album #Duotones. It reached No. 3 on the Billboard #AdultContemporaryChart, No. 4 on the #Hot100 chart, No. 4 on #Cashbox and No. 23 on the #RAndBChart. In the UK the song peaked at no. 22.

  3. Laid some sounds out there on the soprano. I fit them into the sounds of the afternoon birds and breeze.

    Mood altered. No complaints received.

  5. The Soprano Saxophone is indeed more difficult to tune than many other saxophones, but this difficulty stems from its precision rather than flaw. Its sensitivity exposes both weaknesses and strengths, demanding refined technique, attentive listening, and thoughtful equipment choices.

  8. for the adventurous listener

    waves within waves
    beats blasted out of the soprano saxophone, playing with the overtone series, drawing harmonics and other peripheral sounds
    a unique close miked acoustic and very raw recording

  10. Spent some time with the soprano, and later, the tenor (I guess it's Bb day today), working through some early 20th century tonalities discussed in Alex Ross' "The Rest is Noise": diminished seventh, resolving in different directions.

    Those Austrian guys sure loved tritones. Gawd I love tenor.

  12. Music play continued with a spritely set on soprano sax out on the back deck. Eb Aeolian, Bb/F pedeltones, Eb wholetone scale as a bridge.

  13. I have a pressing use for AI. I’m going through the whole of the back catalogue of “A Touch of Frost” on ITVX and I urgently need a real time soprano sax eliminator.
    Cheers thanks! #crimedrama #atouchoffrost #itvx #sopranosaxophone
