    I'm proud to announce our first saxophone quartett performing a Jazz-style demo:
    Phil Wood's "Three Improvisations - Presto" expertly performed by Robert Bernhard.

    Jay Bacal focused this time on our bass clarinet and sent us this refreshing interpretation of Eugene Bozza's "Ballade for Bass Clarinet"

    thanks a lot

    Robert-- I've never heard this piece before-- very cool. I love the harmonies and rhythms. Nice to hear VSL in the jazz idiom.

    Hey, I just realized that Robert is the musician who actually played the real saxes to make the VSL samples, and now he's playing the samples to sound like real saxes. I hope this doesn't cause some sort of rip in the space-time continuum. [:D]

    Hey, that's pretty funny actually...

    I guess in some ways he's playing everybody's pieces that has sax in it. [[:|]]

    Jay, good phrasing on that bass clarinet demo, it makes a noticeable difference when the breathing is felt.

    Listening to all the new sax demos I want to get that now...

    Thanks Guy, Dup and rg.

    Richard -- I very much enjoyed your fine clarinet playing on your web site. Were the strings on your Chopin nocturne arrangement a mix of samples and real players?

    Best,
    Jay
