You're my everything - SBA 49xxx and Florida Link (TK refac

[@abyronista]

superb tone, wonderful phrasing..... I could listen to this 20 times in a row finding new bits of joy each time. It does , however, feed my SBA lust, which is not a good thing.

@maxoutman147 Hi, thanks for your comments. In answer to your questions: (1) I currently play on an old Otto Link HR mouthpiece - it has the Slant Signature but it is actually pre-"Slant" Tone Edge and it has a serial number on the side. The chamber is huge and it gives a nice warm, round sound. I also enjoy playing the Gerber HR mouthpiece and the Aizen SO mouthpiece. (To be continued...)

Epic sound and setup

[@an334]

very nice tone! love it!

[@Blackhatsax55]

For me that's the perfect setup green with envy! and great playing.

@maxoutman147 (Continued) (2) I really don't know much about metal pieces but a good friend of mine really enjoys the Ted Klum piece. I also used to have a V16 piece that had been nicely refaced. (3) As with all my clips, I recorded this on my iPhone --- no mics involved! Thanks again and all the best, Simon

Beautiful playing Simon!!!

@jimidolphy Hi Katz! Thanks for your comment. The STM was originally an 8 but it has been refaced by Ted Klum to .104. Actually I don't usually like to play on metal but this is a nice piece!

[@MrBoybergs]

On Polkadots and Moonbeams I hear the influence of Getz. On this I hear Dexter Gordon. Amazing stuff.

[@cleevealbert1318]

The HR has a warmer feel ,but this sounds cool

[@Dmila220]

your tone reminds a bit of eric alexander, sounds like you listen to a lot of people. great video!

[@RamseyCastaneda]

Damn! This is some good stuff!

[@henspeckledold]

@RussPaladino Thanks so much!

[@MAnuciao79]

Holy Shit. I´ll try to copy your phrasings for ONE WHOLE WEEK!

[@jimidolphy]

Hi! Simon! That's great wonderful SBA + STM sound!!! Your phrasings are also great! How much is STM Opening? Katz

[@maxoutman147]

Brilliant playing ... and it certainly doesn't hurt to have the set-up you identify. A couple of questions: (1) you say you don't usually play metal mouthpieces. What's your HR mouthpiece of choice? (2) If you wanted to capture that Alexander/Potter/Ravi sound in a non-vintage metal piece, is there something you'd gravitate toward - Guardala? Jody Chi? Klum? (3) what mic are you using here? Thanks. Great work. KZbin is realizing its potential as an access to art with stuff like this.

@IssueNumber1 I still have the Super 20 but I sold the Z some time ago.

[@drlluc]

nice! i really enjoyed your playing... lots of the good guys! a lot of ralph moore in your playing... is it possible?

[@cfny]

I try to catch as many of your uploads as possible and this setup is the one I like best. What reeds are you using?

[@henspeckledold]

@realsaxplayer Thanks Chris!

[@henspeckledold]

@chayjazz Thanks!

[@i_am_jazz]

Sounds really great Simon. Is this a new horn of yours??

[@henspeckledold]

@liamjazz Hey Liam, yeah this is a SBA I traded my VI for. It has a really complex sound and it really sings. How are you man? Any progress on the Japan move?

[@cfny]

Otto Link 8 is .110. Are you saying it was refaced smaller?
