07.08.10 The Incredible
Sax Band is a community saxophone choir based in Herne
Hill in SE London. We're looking for new players to join
us at our Monday
rehearsals - experience in sax
groups, wind orchestra or big band is useful;
good
sight reading ability is preferred. Improvisation
skills are a bonus, but
not so much as enthusiasm to
have a go! New players should be at
around ABRSM
Grade 5 standard.
Our repertoire is a mix of
light 20's/30's popular music, more contemporary
jazz/latin/funk and a bit of classical. Some
arrangements have opportunities
to improvise over
backings. The group encourages members to compose or
arrange if they are so inclined. We're led by Howard
Turner of Itchy Fingers
fame.
Please see our
website
http://www.incrediblesaxband.org.uk/ or find us

Musicians wanted
Original Folk/rock band looking for a funky
Saxophone player and
a, less is more, melodic lead
guitarist/harmony singer.
We are a very passionate, determined and
dedicated band and will be lining up bigger gigs and
festivals for 2011 once our line up is complete. We
are looking for people who have no ties keeping them
in the UK as we plan to travel Europe and the US at
some point with our music. We also need you to be a
part of our unit, to take on the good gigs as well
as the bad and to be passionate about joining us on
our journey.
We would prefer a baritone sax player but
if you’ve got the riffs on any kind of sax we would
love to hear what you’ve got.
A lead guitarist who can also sing
harmonies would be perfect but if you only play lead
we would still like to hear from you. So check us
out and if you like our tunes and our sound and you
think that you would fit then give us a shout and
we’ll check you out.

Wolverhampton/South Staffordshire – I’ve
taken early retirement (55), and I’ve started to
play sax again after a lapse of decades. I got a
copy of Greg Fishman’s book of jazz duets for
Christmas, only problem is, I can’t play along with
the CD yet as the tempos are too fast. So, is there
a sax player in my vicinity who’d like to try them
with me at a slower tempo, and try to work them up
to speed? I’m happy to try other stuff too. Stephen
