Hello, Thanks for comming here, I began to play the saxophone in the early days of year 1995, right after turning 25. I am self-taught and I wish I had some lessons - but I end-up giving up playing 3 years later due to hard schedule, family ... (the usual story). Guitar is an older story and it is really a love & hate relationship. I think I played very bad for the first ten years. When I switched to saxophone I completely gave up. Listening to jazz changed my approach to the guitar. Lots of leak in my playing of course. Can play decently at times though. For some reason the circumstances give me now the occasion me to play the instruments again - though not intensively. I enjoy playing both actually (gtr and sax) but do not have a band. Still schedule issue (nahh ... that is a really BAD excuse ...). What I publish here is no more than just noodlings. Hope you'll enjoy it though.

Story behind the song
*Many thanks to those who bother to enter comments. That's much appreciated* ... well I choose to put some dark mood in my rendition. From a musical perspective it is merely a small thing just dealing with my limited tools and skills. I played "Silent Night" theme on tenor and then just copy&paste (which is one of my major talent) + rework some layers from previous material I have. The overall idea was to put drama. I wish I played the main theme better (had problems with the mic so I am kind of stuck with this one for the moment). Plus I recorded a tenor sax solo as well. The short sop sax section is indeed an edited material. I didn't want to play extended sax solo - there are enough brilliant sax in this world that I can't compete with and I wanted the tune to be focused and atmospheric. Hope you'll like it. [update 20/11] Did some tweaking in the mix ...
