Georgia On My Mind (Alto Saxophone) By Bryan Smith

Author: admin  //  Category: Saxophone

The classic Ray Charles tune performed on Alto Sax by Bryan Smith.
I get lots of requests for sheet music for this as well as the backing track. Unfortunately, I cannot provide sheet music for anyone as this was a completely improvised performance and I simply don’t have sheet music for it. I can provide the backing track however. Just send me your email address and I’ll be happy to send it to you.

God Bless!
Bryan
