The Saxiest Song I've Ever Played

Song starts at about 1:00.
Sultry Sunset by Duke Ellington. This is my high school jazz band, featuring me on alto sax. I'm no Johnny Hodges, but this went pretty well. Like and comment to let me know what you think!

come visit me at work and i'll hook you up with something ultra saxy ;)

@Shotgunmerc because you work at a music store, amirite? also, I wanna see footage of your friend who plays saxophone!

[RocksterLMS]

That was awesome, nuno! :D You do know how to play it.

Do you make covers? I'd like to request you a cover of Arashi no Saxophone (a soundtrack of The King of Fighters 96) if possible. Youtube it if you don't know the song. :)

[nunovanhalen023]

@RocksterLMS haha well idk. it would be awesome, but I can't do it right now. That solo and ending have some pretty crazy licks that would be difficult to transcribe, including some altissimo thrown in. I mean, it's possible for me, but just barely. I'm not gonna do it.

[RocksterLMS]

@nunovanhalen023 Oh C'mon! I know you can do it! :D Plus, the solo and the ending can be left out. The point is to be able to play the main riffs of the song.

By the way, how long have you been playing for?

[nunovanhalen023]

@RocksterLMS this is my 8th year

@nunovanhalen023 Yes, and we are currently working on a cover. Since it's just him and me and neither of us can sing, he'll be doing the vocal line on sax.
