What's your sax setup?
A Black Laquer Yamaha Custom 82Z Alto, Dukoff6 metal mouthpiece, and Vandoren ZZ's....whats yours?
Also, have a Soprano with a yanigasawa metal mouthpiece and Vandoren ZZ's
haha, Told you Mike Phillips was bad...His runs are crazy, His first CD is incredible, but his new CD has him doing some crazy runs on the first couple cuts... His Flow, Syle, Tone, is what im after. I Like his urban yet soulful lushious sound, know what i mean?
I also like Coltrane and David Sanborn. Sanborn is sick.
Tenor: Keilwerth "Shadow" SX90R , Tenney Custome Otto Link 7*, Rico Jazz Select's
Alto: P. Mauriat (new name, but really tight...comprable to the Ref 54 and Mark VI's). Still experimenting with reeds and mouthpiece. I just ordered a Meyer 7m, but have been playing on a Runyon Quantum, which is for sale because it's too bright and too open for right now.
Soprano: Antigua 586BC, SR Technologies Pro, Java 3
Sanborn gives me a headache, lol... too bright for me, but his skills are tight.
You know listening to Mike Phillips, I can hear some Gerald Albright in him. Did you hear his solo with Jill Scott? Sickening!
The tone I fell in love with is Courtney Fadlin's from his song... CJ's Cong
You can hear a clip of it here...
