You really can't have a cooler name than Johnny Bones

[@bettertrax5640]

agreed

[@stephenriley6541]

There is a sax player in the UK called Stevie Bone .. 😆😆
Excellent player too

Love the velvet dress Bone's tenor is laying down against the shiny stockings of Jay's alto. Nice contrast in style, warmth and texture. This is such an upbeat song, and you guys really captured that happy feeling in slightly different ways. Tenor was a bit more laid back, taking it easy and soaking it in up in the hammock with a brewskie while the Alto was running around sayin' "yeah man, but dig this sun and look at that blue sky and smell that just cut grass". Way to stay out of each other's way (for the most part) on the tutti sections. Not easy to do unless each is aware of the other

thanks!

Can't believe you did a duet with Johnny Bones from the Honeydrops!!!!

[@timmao2358]

I would listen to this everyday.

[@walterlee2439]

Beautiful alto and TENOR duet indeed!

[@davida.musicdavideammendol4702]

Soo good

[@noelaruldas1152]

Hurrah! What a wonderful performance. Really great. Dear couple! I wish you all the best to perform well in more and more pieces like this. At some parts where both of you simultaneously play it gives the effect of playing dual melody on either foot-pumped harmonium (reed organ) or a accordion with free bass system. Both tenor and alto saxophones are clearly understandable when both of you play alternatively at most of the parts.

Tempted to purchase but indeed a sure fire mouth piece recommended
