Joe Edmonds - Fantastic Saxophonist from Canada
Posted by topsax in Friends, General Info on January 22nd, 2009
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!

Topsax ULTIMATE track from Vern Green in Detroit, MI

Who says the Topsax Ultimate doesn’t deliver? I have known this for years. Pound for pound, note for note, the Topsax delivers the “goods.”
I just received a Jazz soundtrack from Vern Green in Detroit. His wife, brother, and he have a new production studio there. The sound track he sent me is just FANTASTIC! It is 5 minutes long and features a Topsax Ultimate as lead (PLUS he is using a new F-6 mouthpiece). I am going to cut a small portion of the track out to use as a website embed and will be posting it soon. You will really appreciate this man’s work and his fine sax playing.
Vern gave me this bit of information about his production company:
“Our business in Detroit, Michigan is for all artists who require production, engineered and mastered music. (Jazz, gospel, hip hop, classical and more). We write, compose, and also play accompaniment for studio artists. We can also supply those with studio time that simply want to produce their demo.”
Engineering: Dezert Tracks (Pro Tools & Live 6) 313.483.2232
Operations Manager: Vernard Green (Sax & Bass) 313.427.0696
Special Thanks to: Vern ,Tia (Vern’s wife) and Brother.. I wish you guys the best of luck. Please stay in touch.
Happy New Year,
Bob
Soundtrack is now ready to listen to
It is awesome and of course Vern is playing his Topsax Ultimate Alto seen in the photos here. The soundtrack should download fairly quickly as it is only 0.7MB in size. I hope you enjoy the nice smooth Jazz on the track.
Below is the MP3 player with controls for starting the music. There is also a pause and volumn control. If you have any problems with the player please let me know.
