I still try to get my praise on and learn more everyday! Keep doing what you are doing. I can definately say that every day with Jesus truly is better than the day before!

I play alto, tenor and a little soprano, like I said, I'm still learning.

Post by: ifiwereu on June 23, 2006, 11:02:01 PM: They're over here and everywhere. I have a tenor sax. There are not many saxophone players on a national level. We mostly hear smooth jazz guys who do a gospel or two every now and again. Have you guys heard Gerald Albright's "We fall down" or Kirk Whalum's "The gospel according to jazz" I and II CD and videos are available.

I play with background tracks and do instrumentals. I take what I heard in smooth jazz sax players and apply it for Jesus the giver of every good and perfect gift.

The mouthpiece and reed are very important...its not so much the horn.

I've found that latter to be true very much so. When picking a horn I think it's very important to really go based on feel and comfort, of course different horns will have a more focused or more spread sound, but the mouthpiece and reeds make a really big difference. I bet most people will find they sound the same on different horns if they use the same mpc and reed combination.

Post by: ifiwereu on June 24, 2006, 02:35:05 PM: They sound the same on different horns with similar mouthpiece and reeds. Kirk Whalum's Hymns CD is knockin'. Never knew the man was into gospel that much.
