Yesterday I did something I have not done in weeks...I warmed up before my church gig. It made a HUGE difference. The forty-five minutes I spent doing my flute stuff and the fifteen minutes on soprano sax completely changed the way I played. Lately it seems like I spend too much time adjusting my pitch as my face settles down through the first half of the gig. This time, I was able to play comfortably from the beginning. I was a completely different player.
