Gone Now (Jon Hatamiya Big Band)

Having failed to locate my microphone, I resorted to recording this solo take of Body and Soul on my laptop's built in mic. I was pleasantly surprised, as the flattening effect of the lo-fidelity enhances the music's verticality. This is a tribute to the tradition of the Tenor Saxophone which is so beautiful and rich.

Bak - ! (Jon Hatamiya Big Band)
