Welcome
,
Welcome to
another post from
Alt Jazz Ark Announcements
First an update on
my composition
portfolio project
Then the usual
gig announcements
Corpus Onward
Since you can get a taste
of the Corpus Y quartet
performing at Mercury Cafe
I wanted to share
a peek into the
Corpus X quartet
Elaine Alt
- alto & tenor saxophones
Gaea Schell - piano
Christopher Amberger - bass
Greg German - drums
We've decided on a
late May timeline
to record a dozen
original compositions
We've worked out
wrinkles
starting at coarse sandpaper
then finer grit and now
a dollop of polishing paste
before the final buff
You can hear the current
state over the course of
two previous rehearsals
in these playlists
Corpus X Rehearsal 03.11.24
Corpus X Rehearsal 03.25.24
I've been excited
listening to my sound
on the alto evolve
after my setup upgrades
The setup is quite new
the 1946 King Super 20
I've been playing since
November with a custom
mouthpiece a month old
In contrast to my tenor
a 1948 Conn 10M
I've been playing 30 years
