I met Joe Edmonds about 5 months ago. I had this gorgeous Silver “Burst” saxophone on eBay and Joe made an inquiry. I didn’t think much of it but was excited about the possible new sale.
Here’s a nice website with bio and photos of Joe Edmonds
We made a deal and I shipped the horn DHL Express to Canada. Joe was delighted with his new horn (actually it would be a backup for Joe.. he wanted something for doing a little studio and gig work without having to bang around his more expensive horn). Well Joe ended up telling me how sweet this Silver sax was. Naturally I was sold on Mr. Edmonds and I couldn’t wait to “beg” for one of his soundtracks.
Joe was most cordial when it came to helping out. He sent me a soundtrack playing the Silver beauty and a new relationship was begun.
To make a long story short Joe ended up buying a couple more horns from me (Alto and Tenor). The Alto was a Series III Topsax Ultimate, set-up just perfectly for Joe. What came out of this exchange was another killer soundtrack. I love this sound, I love this horn.. I tell people all the time, “this Ultimate beats the crap out of anything you can buy in the music stores for $2,000.00.” It is that good and it will last a lifetime if taken care of.
Here’s the track and a couple of photos of Joe’s Altos (ps: I think he sold the Silver beauty because he thinks the Ultimate is the next best thing to cotton candy). 
Thanks Joe — It is an honor to know you!

Hey Joe, what did you think of the “Meyer copy” Jazz mouthpiece which came with your ultimate Alto?

The mouthpiece is a Morgan Excalibur 7-E

I thought maybe that was what you meant.
This sax is easy to love.

That comment was the sax singing to you.

Hey Joe.. I just love this track. I finished up the first eBay listing today with the New Topsax Ultimate and I have the soundtrack embedded.. People should really enjoy it as they get a chance to check out the horn.
Thanks again for the great music!
Bob
