This weekend, I was going through my vast computer files and trying to clean out the gigabytes of junk I had on my computer when I discovered this old clip.<\/p>\n

This is from a recording session I did way back in the early 90’s. \u00a0I think I was about 25 at the time and in my Michael Brecker\/Bob Berg phase\u00a0of tenor saxophone development. \u00a0I haven’t listened to this clip in years\u00a0but I thought it would be fun to post it on here. \u00a0The sax has way too much reverb on it in my opinion but for whatever reason back then I thought it was cool. \u00a0I’m not a fan of it now that is for sure.<\/p>\n

Dave Buda-Bass<\/p>\n

Blake Lindberg-Drums<\/p>\n

Indra Ismail-Keyboards<\/p>\n
