Ninths this afternoon, laddering up the tenor's range. Ab3 was troublesome, but I stuck with it, eased my way to the overtone. Altissimo can be cranky, and must be approached with open heart. The heat with low humidity out there is an interesting combination for the Fibracell reed, which I feel drying as I play.

“The #tenorsaxophone was king, beginning with the original preacher #GeneAmmons. To some extent this area of the genre has been overlooked in the critical discourse, both then and now, but these #records still sound just great.” open.substack.com/pub/iverson/...

Clean a tenor saxophone after every session by swabbing moisture and wiping the exterior. Clean the mouthpiece weekly. Have a technician service it once or twice yearly.
