Randy, Great job from one horn/T2 guy to another. Loved your site and your formal training shines through.

Jim

Saxxman. Ain’t No Sunshine --- Chillout 1 (80) and 2nd Intro. I would never have thought to play it with that style, I just dived for the sheet music to try it and what a good choice....Nice site.

Jim and Graham - thanks so much guys! I really appreciate the kind words! Yes, I love the sax and I also love the keyboard! I could spend hours (okay, I HAVE spent hours!) going over the Tyros and listening to the styles - and in many cases, my experimentation w/the jazzier styles has paid off. You're right, the Chillout style is absolutely perfect for Ain't No Sunshine. The rhythm section and the breaks are perfect.

I just spent some time putting my first (sax) recording down in the last several years. It's a cut of "No Ordinary Love". Wow... I love the Korg D-1600. First time I've fired it up and used it. Man, did it make easy work out of recording that tune. I will put it out on the web site later tonight. Already put more pictures out there.

Thanks again guys for listening and commenting!

Talent always shines through.

Cousin Ken

Cousin Ken - thanks so much! I opted out of the big jazzfest yesterday and decided to work on my own music. I played a $400 tenor I got (a steal!) on Ebay and recorded on my Korg D1600 (another EBay deal at Xmas)...and they came together pretty well. The recorder has all the effects and so simple even I can operate it.

I looped "Ordinary Love" so that it plays while you read my bio or look at the photos... Thanks again for visiting my site and the kind comments!

Randy

I like the change you made!

Randy

The modifications in your site was well made.
I am still impressed with your performance .
Who says that a kbd can reproduce (imitate) a sax sound, never listenned a true sax.
Best regards from Brasil
Chico

Chico and Mike - thanks much! Mike, your idea was right on! The "Intro" makes a lot more sense, looks, and works out better. Chico, you're right. I haven't seriously attempted to record my sax in years. But I have a nice CAD mic which allows me to use a lot of dynamics. Very hard to exercise that kind of nuance on the keyboards. I'm looking forward to doing a lot more tunes now!

Thanks again guys and have a great week!

Randy
