What kind of a player are you according to this poll? I'll reveal the motivation to the question after some responses have come in. Cool

I would say I am "strict jazz", despite the fact that I do play classical from time to time.

I play classical music in quartets and recitals, but I play jazz in big bands and jazz combos. I'm a little more trained in classical, but I enjoy playing jazz just as much, if not more. Cool

As some of you may know, I'm a flutist, and plan to major in flute performance in college; most of my formal training has been in classical music. However, I also study sax privately, and I am planning to continue to study sax in college and beyond, as I would like to play jazz and classical gigs on both sax and flute. So, I'll put myself in the Branford category. Wink

I'm a jazz player, but I've had my roots in classical. However, I'd say I am defined jazz-wise. So, I'll go with mixture, but that's not quite accurate.

I put myself in the strict jazz because I play mainly jazz standards and rock 'n' roll, which wasn't in the choices, so...

There ya have it...

I'm blues player, give it a few years I might become a jazzer- but there's plenty to get my teeth into in the blues idiom first.

Hi, Jules, I just replied about your Connqueror, yeah, I bet the blues really sounds great out of that horn, too. What kind of mouthpiece does it have?
