Date: 11/16/2014
Location: Home studio in Clinton, WA (Whidbey Island)
Instrument: Tenor saxophone
Notes:
During this improvisation I focused primarily on the Low Bb, which is the bottom most pitch in the saxophone’s traditional range. However I also used a regularly practiced technique of leaning the bell into my leg to drop the Low Bb to approximately to the tempered pitch of an A. During this piece I worked with the dramatically different timbre of the free-blowing Bb and the muted A.
