Hi, I live in Bristol/UK and play saxophones - all 4 main ones. Also a little flute and blues harp
I have been playing some time, and have a lot of experience - in bands, improvising, reading, recording, teaching,...getting to gigs on time with a black shirt...soloing, listening, being a good team player...playing solo or in sections...lots of stuff. Reading pretty well. Making it sound good without dots...lots of stuff
Style wise, I would first go for rock/rock n roll/blues/funk/soul/reggae/calypso...I would add big band jazz, I would add faking jazz pretty well even if not a jazz geek...I would add Klezmer with my accordion friend. I wouldn't include classical.
I have done Lots of gigs, lots of recordings, lots (and lots) of miles. At the beginning of the month I had 10 things I did with 9 bands in 10 days - gigs/recording session/rehearsals, etc So I do lots of stuff.
Anyway, I do gig, I do sessions, I sometimes do solo stuff - in fact recently I've had quite a few. For instance playing a wedding or birthday with backing tracks, or jamming with the DJ at Dirty Martini and others. I can't do everything (unlike my friend A--- L--------), but what I do do I do do very well.
Thanks
Sean
