All of the samples above are examples
of the basic instrumentation; one saxophone player (playing either alto or tenor saxophone)
with pre-generated accompaniment that has been stored in digital format.The only space that is required is for one performer with one or two instruments and one amplifier. The backgrounds are played by a laptop computer or a CD player through the amplifier. If you prefer, I can feed the background through your PA system instead, which will save space and / or give more volume in larger settings. |
Other songs in the repertoire include: Latin: The Girl From Ipanema Blue Bossa Desafinado Wave St. Thomas Out of Nowhere Jazz Standards: Take the A-Train All the Things You Are Autumn Leaves Take Five Bye Bye Blackbird Satin Doll Bluesette Stella By Starlight Have You Met Miss Jones?
