Jazz-Sax, all things Jazz and Sax
Checking my daily email, I received this “Pays for itself in reeds saved and lasts forever -Get a new dynamic and smashing sound – Make extremely accurate adjustments -No guessing where to shave -Stop throwing reeds The Perfect Reed kit is a new ground breaking method to condition your reeds to a professional level. White-curvatures…
Ok, not saxophone related, but this is my favorite video game so…….I thought it was great.
You might have noticed, but the Jazz-Sax.com server has been lagging the last couple of months. Why? More traffic and spammers. The site is powered by a little Ubuntu atom processor computer I bought about 5 years ago. It has 2 gigs of ram, and a SSD. It had been running pretty much flawlessly for…
Kinda creepy actually…..
We live in an awesome age. We have little 4 inch devices that are more powerful than computers that were made less than 8 years ago. Now, there is this very interesting instrument, an Artiphon. CNN had an article on it: Is it a guitar? Is it a piano? Nope, it is a crazy iPhone-powered…
Barry Wood has updated his NAMM Oddities page from this year’s NAMM show. NAMM is a trade show that happens around the beginning of the year for music related items. Some saxophone related items are here: Instrument Care Apparel. I guess this appeals to people? I think its a waste of money but whatever… It’s…
I have been a LONG time user of Finale. Since…..geeze, Finale 2 something (I think I have the floppy disks it came on for my Mac Quadra 660AV). Since there seems to be a new influx of life into MakeMusic, it is time to revisit why it is such an awesome program compared to the…
PG Music has released the latest greatest version of Band in a Box for Macintosh. This is one of my favorite programs, hands down. Here are some of the new featuresI like: 31 More Jazz RealTracks, 35 Rock-Pop RealTracks. New Song Form feature. Remembers recent RealTracks that you selected Easy Buttons for Transposing (Display only)…
If you’ve noticed, there have been a lack of new posts lately? “Oh no, he’s losing interest in the site. Where are we going to get our latest Katy Perry sheets?” you might say. Fear not, there are a lot of things in the pipeline. So where have I been? Busy. Actual high paying gigs, working…
These guys killed it. I like it! Not quite as good as this version though.
So, I did a list of thing that you might consider getting for Xmas. But what is on MY list? Well, here it is. First thing is that I always need money. Who doesn’t? Running this site is not free, and the little money made with Google Ads does help with the phone bill, but…
I don’t think I did one last year, but this year I think I am. So…..you have a saxophonist that you want to get a little holiday gift for huh? Well, here are some ideas. Band-in-a-Box – Though they have different versions of this program, you need the version with the Real Tracks. Period. This…
I think I have seen the best case ever. And David Freeman has a modified one for EWI. Awesome. I’d love to have a one of these that fit Alto, flute, piccolo, clarinet, curved soprano, and oboe. Or one that was just for curved soprano, flute, piccolo, clarinet and oboe. It would be great if…
Sorry guys and gals, but the site might be a little slow for the next few days? Why? Well, Crashplan has a amazing sale this weekend. A whole year of the Family version of it for $17. Well, it started off free supposedly, but then it was going up in price every two hours and…

Yes, there is/was a Forum on jazz-sax. Well, whatever was there is now been replaced. Why? I was using something called Simple:Press for WordPress. However, they are now a paid thing (they had been free for a long time) if you want the plugins and stuff. Plus, I never really liked how it worked and…
