The \u00a0first clip is a Jerry Bergonzi tune called &#8220;On the Brink&#8221;.\u00a0It&#8217;s to the changes of Confirmation. \u00a0I heard it on a recording and liked the rhythmic displacement of the melody. \u00a0I think I started it a bit too fast due to the large amount of xmas chocolates I&#8217;ve eaten tonight. \u00a0 The second clip is a ballad so you can really hear the tone of the Morgan better. \u00a0 I recorded it the next day after the affects of the chocolate wore off. \u00a0It&#8217;s &#8220;Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most&#8221;. \u00a0One the ballad I&#8217;m playing on a slightly softer reed than the first clip. It&#8217;s a Java 2 1\/2 and really plays nicely with this piece.
