Sorry about accidentally deleting your comment, Matt. I went to hit "reply" and ended up hitting "remove" instead.
Thanks for the comment. Oddly enough...I never really listened to Art very much. Not that I didn't care for him...I just wasn't exposed as much.
I'm glad you like the tone. It still isn't what it used to be, but it's about as close to my old sound as I'm going to get considering how little I play these days.
Same with me a Desmond :-) Never gave him any attention until people flattering said I sounded a little like him. I now appreciate his talent. I think you sound a lot like Art, especially his later stuff (Winter Moon album) That is high praise because I think Art has the finest tone of all, round and mellow with just the right amount of edge. Desmond on steroids if you like :-)
I just listened to "Our Song" and a few others, and I have to admit I do hear some similarities now. It's the first time I've actually made that connection. Just never really thought about it before. Of course, I'll never hold a candle to him as a player, but the similarity in sound does seem to be there. I think part of it may also be that we use a similar style of vibrato which plays a huge role in a person's overall sound, but it's all purely accidental, I swear!
I was in no way calling you a copyist:-) just a very happy coincidence. You are right, it is the very slow and narrow vibrato (mine too) that does it, it is a very lyrical and yet sinewy sound. You have great depth of tone too, and great air support. That is long tones for you!
Duuuuuude, I have a raven as well. Great sax, and plays well. Very Nice :D

Shame you didn't leave the prevous version up. It would have been nice compare the two to see how it's evolving.

In fact CJ, take a listen to "our song" by Art on here. The similarity in your tone is striking! I am green with envy :-)

Keep thinking. I'm sure you'll get it.
One hint that might help...imagine it being played twice as fast.
