Description : A unique opportunity arose for me last weekend to meet one of my all time saxophone hero's. I had arranged for all of my pupils on woodwind to have master classes with Snake Davis. Now some of you might know him, but I can imagine the majority of you are saying WHO! Well this guy plays with the cream, Paul McCartney, Amy Winehouse,Lisa Stansfield,M People ect.... One of the things which came out of these five sessions was the ability to play solo, no band or instruments, just one saxophone holding a melody/solo with chord changes, and making sure it sounds good. So hey ho I gave it a bash this morning and recorded this first time through, I'm really happy with it and if you all agree, then I will chop it into loops so you can all play as well, cheers Slap...

Slap,
I have this playing over and over in my studio as I prepare for a session tonight.
The sun will be setting over the desert mountains outside Phoenix very soon. I have the doors and windows open and your beautiful sound is floating out across the citrus orchards to the foothills.
This is all so personal and touching.
Direct to favs.
This will be played more than I can tell you.

wow, ive never honestly listened to a sax solo just to listen to one until today. well in my opinion F@*KING EXCELLENT! so smooth with the melody intact throughout. timing perfect with the smoothest transitions. you absolutely have a gift and look forward to using some of those samples your gonna supply. ive never used sax before but after hearing what i just heard, im looking forward to the project. just an idea, what about you and bilbozo doing a colab? that would be something...maybe mrrobots loops/samples and arrangement.
great job slap!
...wow!

Description : There were two separate tracks in work, but who knows why I got tired with them and then decided to merge them (or at least what left from them) into one piece hence they originate out of same musical purpose. No worries...no world war was ment here, except my recent personal one...haha...and you don't want to know about it.:) It's not real etude by any means, yet it's quite alot about practicing...practicing...

Description : Again, another early production from like two years ago. I had a cheap little Yamaha acoustic guitar that I borrowed and mic'd and some congas that were given to me as a birthday present. I used my iPad GarageBand app to record the strings and the big bass drum thingy at the interlude and little electric guitar parts in there too haha. All the vocals were done by myself and my brother throws in some little things here and there with his voice :P Enjoy!
