After You've Gone - Birmingham International Jazz Festival 2008

[vincesax]

Your the best sax player ever, such an inspiration. Do you play in the US around Pennsylvania? Please reply

[ABrandsma]

I have played a few times in the USA. New Orleans, (several times) , New York, San Francisco, and Tampa. I would love to go again, so if you you a place or venue that could hire me, please let me know.

Kind regards,

Bert Brandsma

Great stuff chaps. I liked the sousaphone solo.

Question: Does the banjo player use guitar tuning on his banjo (D-G-B-E) or does he tune it in fifths like a mandolin?

Thanks

[ABrandsma]

This banjo player tunes his instruments like a guitar, but then a fourth higher.

G - C - E - A

Kind regards,

Bert Brandsma

Wow! This is really good music. Thankyou, Bert and the band.

great job on the sax! over here in the colonies, we don't hear soloists on altos often, i don't know why. but now i remember why i like them! if you ever want a long trip, think the Sacramento Trad Jazz Jubilee in California, last weekend in May, every year

[ABrandsma]

Do you know who does the bookings of the Sacramento festival? Could you bring us in contact?

Kind regards,

Bert Brandsma

I love this and all your music, when are you next in the U.K.? I would love to come and see you!

[ABrandsma]

Hello Pete,

We would love to go again to the UK, but there are no definite bookings right now.

Only bookings outside the Netherlands at the moment are in Germany, Belgium and Poland.

Thanks for listening,

Kind regards,

Bert Brandsma

The entry date has already closed for this year, but have you heard of Upton Jazz festival? it might be worth your while, it's mostly trad. jazz and dixieland.

[EwiekeuKlavier]

Your tone is beautiful on that alto sax. Bert you are are amazing!

[stk38349]

very well done on the Sousaphone

[JazzyEuphoner]

Awesome Solo Bert!

[ViruseShadowstealer]

Amazing job, Bert!

[jazzbandball2]

The alto solo is amazing.

[DresdenDixieland]

The singing is not on the same level as the alto playing.

[ChequetheRipper]

Beautifull tone in that alto saxophone.

[zanelloluca]

molto bello anche l'assolo di tromba!

[AdrianRollini]

Although I obviously prefer to hear you on the bass sax, I must admit that your alto sax solo on this one is very, very good.

[donoteatme]

loved the alto sax, great job!

[harikiriippon]
