Sax Clips From The Puck
Here’s a roughly-edited sampling of sax clips from last Saturday night’s BlackTails gig at The Puck:

We sold out the joint and made a lot of friends. It was definitely a party. A word about The Puck. It’s a really awesome venue. [...]

Macarena Sax Jam
This is a fun clip of an impromptu jam that broke out after our gig last Friday. The whole gig was a bit like this, featuring live musicians jamming with a DJ. Half the band has put its instruments away by the time we did this, though, and the DJ is holding the [...]
Michael Brecker Transcriptions Galore

Correct me if I’m wrong, but haven’t reeds always been expensive and inconsistent!?
I suspect there’s more to the story than that. But it [...]
Smaz Blues
I finally got around to installing software on my digital audio workstation today. The machine, cobbled together from old parts, is an Athlon XP 2600+ with 512MB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive. It’s dual booting Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and Ubuntu 8.10. I usually have it running in Ubuntu as my media server [...]
How to Fix a Compressed Neck Cork
WARNING: I just crackled and peeled the lacquer on my Yanagisawa S991 while doing this! It wasn’t even directly in the steam. I guess they don’t make lacquer like they used to. I’m kind of pissed, but whatever. So my horn doesn’t look brand new anymore…you can’t tell from more than [...]
