Take Five (alto Sax)
Take Five (alto Sax)My take on the classic Take 5, originally performed by Paul Desmond with the Dave Brubeck trio back in 1959. Still sounds fresh and inventive today. I played this on my alto sax (rather than my usual tenor)and whilst the 5/4 time is a tricky one to play with, lets just say it was more a case of take 6 or 7 to come up with a version I am happy with.

I want to believe
I want to believeI wrote this traditional style jazz ballad in homage to all the jazz ballads that have influenced me as a saxophonist. Gershwin's Someone to watch over me sung by Ella Fitzgerald comes to mind. Hopefully that feel comes across, with clean guitar and Tenor sax I have kept it simple. Though, I think it is crying out for vocals, so that version is on its way...
