  This will also be a trial of fire of my ability to record the saxophone without it sounding all bleary

  Oh god, I'm way too rusty to be doing Brubeck.

  http://vocaroo.com/i/s09XfZ83fNSh : Irony

  
  

  And this is in B major for me, so it was tricksy in a completely different way

  Pretty decent.  The rhythm seems a bit off -- perhaps taking it slower might be better -- but at least all the notes sound right.
  
  Doesn't sound quite like Take Five, but something vaguely along its lines.  Not that I mind.
  
  Also, you're lucky your mike doesn't click on you every 0.8 seconds or so.

  “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”

  A few obvious and not-so-obvious ideas:

  - The ending theme from Steven Universe

  - My Bloody Valentine, "When You Sleep"

  - Legendary Pink Dots, "One for the Pearl Moon" (particularly the bassline)

  - The Birthday Party, "The Friend Catcher"

  - Wire, "Once is Enough"

  - Akron/Family, "Raising the Sparks"

  - Coil, "Red Birds Will Fly Out of the East and Destroy Paris in a Night" and/or "Penetralia"

  - Sonic Youth, anything that isn't astoundingly obvious (e.g. "Kool Thing", "Teenage Riot")
  

  - The Rolling Stones, "Paint It Black" (fast and reckless as possible)

  That is a lot of material and I have to leave for a flight in about an hour.

  Yeah, at this point, this might actually be out of my reach. I'm, erm, not exactly trained in Jazz, so it's harder to pick up on the fly.

  
  

  Not saying I can't. Just that it would take a while, and again, I have a flight in half an hour.

  I wasn't sure how fluent you were in jazz, so I figured I'd take a shot in the dark. Also, I meant to throw a "whenever it's convenient" into that post, since I didn't expect you to be able to record with the flight coming up. Sorry about that.

  Okay, Sredni, what in blazes were you thinking when you recommended Friend Catcher? Anything but the bassline is practically unreadable.

  Mountain Goats are found to be generally playable with ease.

  
  

  except for "This Year", which is written in Gb. A deplorable key in general and especially on the saxophone. The F and Gb aren't built to be flipped between.

  That's it for today. The music just isn't coming.
