Ascolto con molto sorpresa e piacere tua musica. Ricordi di un tempo a Torino quando ti ascoltavo dal vivo nelle serate con Mario, Brill... Mi mancano da quando sono tornata in Francia. Non ho piu nottizzie.::Sophie una Francesina Saxophonista che se la passava ascoltando Jazz negli centri sociali......!!!!

Very Nice Playing. I too am a lead alto sax player in a big band here in Western Canada. There is nothing else in the world quite as good as being lead alto in a big band. I am mostly a tenor player but love all saxophones.

Would love to hear more.
