KSband Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 My latest original tune featuring my tenor and soprano saxes and my strat and Gibson guitars. Keys are the fishman midi guitar, drums Ezdrummer 3. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy j Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Great soulful funky style to this song. It reminds me a bit of the stuff of a band out of New Orleans (The Meters) that put out some great stuff (e.g., Sissy Strut -- theme music for the great John R (50,000 watt station out of Nashville Tennessee). This was a treat to listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajan Blue Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 As Freddy said great soulful funky feel to this - really enjoyed the listen liked those saxes, sound really good cool stuff Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnbee58 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Great sax work! I take it those are real horns. I'm kind of a sax connoisseur so if it's OK to ask you, what brand(s) are they? ?John B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSband Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 Thanks John. I have a couple of cheapies. They both were amazon warehouse deals so the Eastar soprano was 160 bucks and the Eastrock tenor was 220, both looked brand new. I had to do some tweaks to both to fix some air leaks but other than that they are very nice. I have a Vito Leblanc alto but I don't really enjoy playing the alto compared to the other. Just a beginner at this point but having a lot of fun with them. Do you play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have my Conn alto that my first sax teacher sold me in 1964 and I still have my Buffet Crampon clarinet. I bought new reeds for them a few years ago and tried to play them but my asthma just wouldn't let me get out more than a note or two before the huffin' and puffin' started. My Buffet is leakey because it needs a new tenon cork which I'll get around to replacing someday. But I played tenor sax in my high school band (centuries ago). I'm very impressed by the sound of your "cheapo" horns. ?JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Impressive performance. I especially liked the smooth tone of the tenor sax. Well done. -Bjorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markno999 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Great chill funk for a Friday afternoon. Kind of early Kenny G vibe when he was playing with Jeff Lorber. Super fun song and well executed. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSband Posted August 6, 2022 Author Share Posted August 6, 2022 Thanks to freddy j, Bajan Blue, johnbee, Hidden Symmetry, bjornpdx, Wookie, DeeringAmps and markno99, appreciate the listen and nice comments! Mark, always been a big Jeff Lorber Fusion fan in spite of KennyG. I got to see Jeff with Eric Marienthal a couple times, that was great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhonoBrainer Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Awesome. The bass has a very live tone yet is controlled in the mix. Saxes excellent, loved the occasional double tracking there, very smooooth. Maybe a tad less rvb on the electric guitar funk riffs? YMMV but they seem a tad out of the way. they are panned right side which is nice but a bit back, maybe add back some upper-end EQ to the elec guitar to bring it out a bit in the mix? I dunno. Loved it! cheers, -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSband Posted August 9, 2022 Author Share Posted August 9, 2022 Thanks Paul and PhonoBrainer! I will take a listen to the guitar parts again. I did some messing with eq, volume and panning, I had it louder but thought it was distracting from the groove. Thanks for listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
