Where Did Nanny Go?
A re-take this time on Tenor Sax. Great template from GlezBass and accented beautifully by mpointon. Part of my mojo re-capture project. Concentrating on rhythms in this.

Thanks Frank. A bit of a cheat in knowing this one already and having already played it (on soprano). Needed to practice a rhythmic challenge. To get my chops back in shape.

Thanks Stef. You are one of the first people to mention phrasing. If there is anything I do that is somewhat "different" it's timing in phrasing and trying to use the tone of the instrument a bit differently (not the usual jazz cliche). Good ears my man!

Good ears are subordinated to good music to listen to and in this sense, you're absolutely right because your personal phrasing is the result of a great musical sensibility that knows how to explore in depth the track and never be banal. Thank you Wade !

Wow! Thank you. I feel a little embarrassed though. I just play what I hear in my head...and hope the little bad voices don't interrupt.

You know how to make me feel better. Yes I was going for complimentary timing that (while not mimicking the rhythms in the bass and drums) had drive of it's own. Thanks so much, greatly appreciated.

Thanks titi. So much fast pace rhythm here. Just seemed right to play with the longer lines and alternating between 2, 3 and 4 beats (off the inherent possibilities of 6/8).

The binary and the ternary belong to them only a big part of rhythmic work of the musician.
It offers many of to alternate them, but it represents an enormous work...
BRAVO ! +1

Ah shucks...now I'm embarrassed! Never been called elegant...and you know me! Anything but elegant! Appreciate that you like the tone...not otherwise very articulate or technically good, so hope that carries me through.
Dynamics is an interesting thing. I use too much for recording and have to spend a lot of time correcting being too low or too high. Works live OK though. +1

Well observed! Was once told that beginnings and endings are the most important parts. The beginning has to catch attention, and the end is often all that's remembered. If possible I try to get these right. It's often the only parts I do second (or third +) takes on. Got lucky on this one as a single take (already knew it).

Yes, I love this track, so went back to it. Plenty challenging, and needed this type of practice. Thanks for the listen and comment.

So kind of you! The fact is I'll never be a good technical player, so I try to at least have my own tone quality and (generally) stay away from the cliche jazz sound most sax player use. Sax is just another instrument and more flexible than most, so easy to have your own sort of tone...if that's what one wants...I do...thanks for noticing.

Thanks Lenny. This was a valuable practice for me in trying to get myself (musically) back in shape. Too late to get the rest of me in shape...that's life...
