Tank!

Cleveland Hill High School Jazz band

Spring Concert 2008

The solos I performed in this recording are dedicated to the memory of my grandfather.

The solos in this piece were performed by me minus the use of my right pinky finger (pretty useful for the E flats in this key) as I had a pin pulled out of my finger just that morning. Sadly I also didn't get to practice this at all except in December and the week of the concert (first week of april) since my injury occurred in early January meaning I didn't get to practice anywhere in between there. Eventually I said "screw it" and just played without using the finger. Yes, I know it's sloppy at parts but I hope you enjoy!

[RhinoFeedingDude]

Oh man, this video's ancient, I've come a long way.  I couldn't even tell you what set up I used back then.

@RhinoFeedingDude

@littleshortkid For jazz/bebop/funk i play on a meyer 5m mouthpiece with Rico jazz select 3 soft reeds. Sax is a Yamaha Custom Z.

I have a MUCH better video of myself soloing on my channel now for you to listen to instead of this one haha. It's Solo Over Groovin' Hard

you get an extra point for discluding the video feed.

[RhinoFeedingDude]

Our school AV crew showed me the video, said they'd have a copy in a week. I came back a week later to pick it up and they claimed that it never existed. I hate them lol

[littleshortkid]

@RhinoFeedingDude ah well idk about a 5m. 7m is awesome=

Everything below is a lie.

[ZomgRoflCptr]

This is so bad it makes me want to kill myself. That sax sounds terrible, you should have probably left that pin in. It may have sounded better with that.
