Hey gang, I’m part of this new online forum called PRIVATESAXCHAT. You may have already seen us in your notifications? We’re having a membership drive. Anyway, give us a follow back.
We love to talk about the sax parts in music scores from popular shows. This week, we’re discussing The Sopranos. Next week will be Bass-ic Instinct. And we’re trying to get Kenny G to do a guest feature! Exciting times. Remember to follow.

When is Gerry Rafferty Appreciation Day? We could also hold a group discussion on low-budget 1980s movie soundtracks.

Super 80, good choice. No “ naked lady” , but a solid choice.

I expect a scholarly seminar on how Clarence Clemons brought saxy back.

Ooo, good idea. I’ll bring that to the program committee!

Only the best for my friends.

Max stars for this.
I have a Chinese friend who had a wedding video done, as is common. Production values were high, except they chose Careless Whispers for the background music. I didn’t say anything.

Excuse me sir, the bari sax begs to differ.

I like the evanescence one

Well, looky there. To be fair, I try not to get too close to bari saxes.
And I chose not to get into that whole discussion of “It’s not a spit valve, it’s a water key....”

Well not so you can really aim it anyway.

Lolol
(I started on alto, switched to bari, then switched to tenor in high school)

As long as we’re talking bari sax, have you seen this?
![]() 03/09/2020 at 12:42 |

Yep, I like some Too Many Zooz and Moon Hooch.

The Bari Sax riff in “Let Me Clear My Throat” is the best use in modern music of any register of saxophone and yes I’m willing to fight over this stance.

I have a Series II alto myself. It’s a fine player, although mine isn’t in that sexy matte-lacquer your photo shows.
Of course, what I'd REALLY like is a pristine Mark VI, but I'm an educator, not Jeff Bezos.

My main horn is a Stradivarius series Bach that my teacher went to the factory in Elkhart to pick out. He sold it to me for a song or I wouldn’t have had it.
And I’m just an amateur. You come under the heading of professional. But I wouldn’t be surprised if even most professionals can’t afford the really high end stuff.

I’m playing Bizet L’Arlesian no 1 next week as you probably know that has a pretty sexy saxophone solo.

Well still, I think that’s pretty awesome.
And hey, playing like that in a group that people actually pay to hear is impressive. It’s taking an avocation to the highest level. Respect.
