Mark Maxwell, Saxophonist

Are you hip to the EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument)?

I’m just finishing a rather torrid month of simultaneously being on the road and moving, an exhausting combination that I can really recommend for encouraging one to surrender. Subsequently, this week’s song is from the archives.

This is the original version of a song featured on Saxual Healing. On this version, I play the whole first part of the tune on the EWI. For some unrecalled reason, I’ve always thought that this was the inferior of the two versions, but listening to it now, man I think I like it even better than the version on Saxual Healing. What do you think?

As on all the Saxual Healing tunes, I play all the instruments.

Hey, infuse yourself with a Little Bit ‘O Soul Now (EWI Version), this week’s Song-A-Week.

(For those of you who were paying attention, this song was included in last week’s mailing as a “will probably never see the light of day so I’ll include it here” song. Lo and behold, it was requested that I offer it for sale; thus, it morphed rather conveniently into this week’s song.)

Hey, next week, new music! Some cool stuff, too.
