Somewhere off Jazz Street is music inspired by jazz and the saxophone, but is not jazz or even a real saxophone. "For years I played jazz piano but found myself listening more to the saxophonists than the piano players." "With computer technology and somethng called a soundfont , an audio soundfile that I play from a keyboard , I could finally play the sound I was hearing." Every note of the saxophone sound that you hear is played live from the keyboard as are all the variations of the sound. The other instruments and sounds you hear are also made in the computer. Some are soundfonts played live while others are programmed into the computer.
