No one on keyboard can duplicate a real sax player, not even with a great sax sound.. but here goes an offering.. At least it shows a comparison. smile

I forgot to mention ..it is an E-A7.

A fine job Fran how was it recorded..?..
why is there always an excuse before people post a song here .....
just play and post no need for softening the blow all the time .

The EA7 has some great sounds. The BloAltoVib is my favorite.

Yep Tony - the old Selmers (have the Mark VI alto and soprano) are worth some bucks...might just sell them off now as I rarely play them out on gigs - usually take less expensive horns, especially to the beach gigs.

Great job on that one Fran! EA7 has a very respectable Alto sound! Nice work! Thanks for sharing!

Donny recorded the way I always do on the EA0.. Push the record button and stop when I finish smile

Don, that is your favorite sax... Added reverb and chorus, and bumped up velocity.. It did record at a lower volume than I would have liked..

Randy, WOW, excellent, very nice, played it 3 times....I would love for you to do the same song with the 900, and do it as close as you can to that performance!

Randy, not good, great fits much better. You are a Pro.
Your improvisation never lost site of the melody. I love that.

Played most of my jobs with a sax player,
you would have done a great job.

PS, I hear your sax impro lines when you play the keyboard. Nice.

Years ago, I was told that when you play a sax on your keyboard, you must think like a sax player. And the same for all the other instruments.
Fran, you did a good job with the alto, thamks.
