    Your excellent display of this tune, tonally and improvisationally speaking, has inspired me to attempt this tune with an imitation of your style - simply an ATTEMPT, mind you ( don't laugh now)

      Is it his Yanny? He usually currently plays his own brand alto, to promote it obv. Don't be fooled by the underslung octave key mech, he pinched it from Yanagasawa.

      @@johnwhyte-venables2167 As we know the sound has far more to do with the player, then mouthpiece/reed set up than the horn plus he's using a little reverb, with Jay's ability he's going to sound pretty good on any horn.
