Giant Steps Mintzer Solo

I Want To Be Happy

Act Natural

Here's my attempt a playing Michaels amazing solo sax intro to the beautiful tune Skylark from his 1997 album entitled "Two blocks from the edge".
As this was a solo sax recording and the time was unmetered, i felt playing along or tracking this would be unwise … there's so much elasticity and anticipation etc present it would never match up … 
So, as my ultimate homage to the most inspiring musician ever ( for me), i present my feeble attempt to mimic him. Thanks so much for the inspiration Mike!!

Welcome to my little page dedicated to tracking Michael Brecker solos ( and others) 
The inspiration for this project came from the facebook group Omnibook and other solos

https://www.facebook.com/groups/352082798260034

My objective is to imitate the solos as closely as possible including the minutia of Phrasing as a purely technical exercise, and, as he has been my sax hero for 20+ years, it's also a bit of fun and possibly an inspiration/motivation to others.

hope you enjoy listening 
Sean.
