Manchester Jazz Festival 2010. Saxobones play Road Song by Wes Montgomery.

We dropped down to Manchester to visit the MJF (Manchester Jazz Festival 2010). So rather than twiddle our thumbs before the Les Chisnel piano recital, we thought a touch of busking would be a good idea. The wind blowing over the camera mic is a touch annoying, but Alexander blows a great solo in this one. You can also see me looking up towards the pending downpour which happened shortly after this performance. I thank all the people who came up and offered their support and those who bought our CDs. Thank you Manchester....

i absolutely love Alex's use of bebop in this song!! He should definitely take the bebop route like Parker did.

Great playing!!

shame bout the wind roar you should chop off the first 20 secs of this as it might put people off listening to what is a superb solo by Alex - reminded me of Paul Desmond and I don't have a better praise than that. Lovely. I busk in Newcastle so I hope to see you there one time.
