Hi Randy, Love your comps, style and array of horns. Thank you for the addition to your page. I would graciously appreciate you lending an ear to my new tunes and adding a comment to my page. Kind regards,Danny Ladd
Thanks for your add. It sounds just amazing the way you play and it would be great to hear you performing live one day.. Hopefully.. Thanks for your Music.
i was not arguing the fact that the contrabass is a sax. i know for a fact that it is and yes it is a very nice sax. i was mearly stating the tubax was not a sax
Thanks for the friendship and sharing your Music. Man you are a great player!! I liked listening to all the tunes you played. I've never seen a collection of horns like yours. Do you own a plastic one? Your Brother in Jazz, Jerry
Stolen Moments sounds great. I love the sound of that thing. Look out bass players. That is a great pic too. Thanks for the kind words on sotw. My feet are really big over there, I don't know what I am doing. Any chance you have the changes to Berg's The Search.
Hi Randy, many thanks for the explanation. It is very interesting. I never saw someone playing a contrabass sax but a bass sax. Do you know Max Raabe an his Palast Orchestra? Rainer Fox one of the sax palyers always plays a bass sax in the show. Of course it..s not as big as the contrabass sax but it..s also impressive. Wishing you a lot of fun with your horns further.
Could you tell me where you get all of your straight saxophones? (if it is a website, could you tell me or even send me a link?) Thanks for all of your help.
