So many well deserved adds to this lovely track from OliVBee, moonchild, panpot and GlezBass. Tenor sax in (mostly) backing mode.

Always at the right time, always at the right point, always with the right intensity and the softness of your enveloping lines. Wade, you first listen and analyze with great intelligence for playing then with your great mastery.

Wish I could own all those wonderful things you're saying. The truth is that some music is easy (the feel and where it's going is understood). Other music, like Salsa, takes hard work. There's seldom any analysis, just play along. My playing is usually continuous so that the rhythm and melodic lines flow. Then comes the hard and long part: editing out all the superfluous lines and adjusting all the dynamics.
Must be a different way of approaching and can only guess that most will figure out what they will play and do that perfectly, then don't need to spend much time editing.
The truth is I'm just a jammer. I hit record and start playing. Sometimes it takes more than one take, but the process is fairly quick. Editing takes me many times longer than recording.
So this is a long confession and I may as well tell all. I can read and write music, but don't enjoy doing either. For me it's all about being in the moment with the feel of what's happening. If I've figured it all out and am just playing a predetermined series of notes it just won't have any life in it. It's not necessarily a good way to approach music, but it's the only way in which I feel good about playing. It would be wonderful to have the discipline and professional attitude to analyze, play written music well and write wonderful compositions. Yours and others abilities at this are amazing to me. +2

You say the nicest things Franky! The object was to try to add without detracting from the beauty that was there. You've made me think it worked.

Cheers Ernie. Had forgot that this take already has bass, so you're released from your promise to add to it. Ha!

Such a nice thing to say. Hopefully we'll have a chance to play together (live) so you can change your mind. Ha! Truth is I edit a lot.

I'm sure you're a decent live player as well ;) Probably a perfectionist when it comes to recordings, which is good :)

Takes a little while to get used to the feel of other players (live) and understand their quirks, but then it works just because I'm listening more than playing.
