Transcribing & Recording an Iconic Holiday Sax Solo

A bit of holiday cheer from Mix Protégé and producer, mixer, engineer (and sax player), Dana Nielsen. Vocals by session singer extraordinaire, Charissa Nielsen.

I transcribed and recorded Boots Randolph’s iconic sax solo for an upcoming Nielsen family rendition of ‘Rockin Around the Christmas Tree.’ It felt great to bust out my favorite Conn 10M tenor, put pencil to staff paper, and rip out some raspy Randolph riffs!
