dave-O Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 A quick update on the status of Ferriswheeler... In case you haven't heard, we have replaced the female vocals with the stylings of Ottawa's saxophone jedi Al Jee. We've ditched 90% of our old material (with the remaining 10% becoming instrumental jams) and are concentrating on new originals. It's a full-on funk/jazz/jam/groove thing! And we've even started to add some vocals... Come check us out, should be a fun night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 I'm trying to remember, dave-O, does Al Jee play just alto, does he play others (i.e., is he heterosaxual, so to speak...)? I ask because, well, I find a whole night of just (one) alto sax to be a bit too much (a little on the tinny side); mixing it up with, say, a tenor and and maybe a soprano would, I think, add a bit of variety and make it more enjoyable. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 Just alto sax... but he does use a pile of delays, looping and pitch-shifting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
