Australian classical guitarist Craig Ogden and Irish saxophonist Gerard McChrystal combine to create Pluck, Blow. Here is a sampler of their 20 year collaboration starting in 2003.

"Shchedryk" by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych. Originally written in 1904, it has since become best known as "Carol Of The Bells", with English lyrics by Peter J. Wilhousky.

I've been working on this arrangement by Thomas H. Graf with some of my students recently. Decided to have a go at it myself as well!

In what may be the weirdest thing I've attempted, here is DixieFlatline's "A Lie and a Stuffed Animal" (嘘とぬいぐるみ) featuring the VOCALOID MAYU, arranged for two alto saxophone leads with saxophone ensemble (sopanino, soprano, tenor, baritone, bass), bass guitar, and harpsichord accompaniment. The baritone and bass saxophone parts were recorded by pitching a tenor saxophone down. The harpsichord part was programmed in GarageBand with with a clavichord patch, while the bass guitar was added to bolster the low end.

I quickly made a transcription back in summer of 2020 as another nod to the VOCALOID days of my past. This is a proof of concept of the arrangement made back in November 2022, which was later revised with a different instrumentation

Playing with former guitarist and singer.  We haven't played together in quite some time.  This was just a quick jam session, unrehearsed (obviously) but a nice demo of acoustic guitar and bass, especially their relative volume levels.
