Thanks! The solo uses a set of rules that prefer certain notes depending on the chords that the bass is playing. There's only a few of them - pick a chord tone if it's on the beat; play the quarter notes always, eight notes often, and triplets less often; prefer closer notes during triplet runs; stuff like that. You get phrasing automatically since you have to stop periodically to let your breath refill!
Honestly the script improvs better than when I try, haha. It's fun to see what we'll hear as intentional music :)

I've unlocked 5 different sax colors. Are unlocks based on scores and are there more colors to unlock?
That's all of them! They are indeed score-based, two for each song, plus the original color.
As a jazz saxophonist I approve. I really wanna know how you made the sax solo sound so good in a script!

Fun game. My GF plays sax and explained the trumpet joke to me.
I love jazz and enjoyed this game, thanks!
This is awsome. =]
Fun to play and get in the groove of things. Makes me feel as if I'm actually playing with the music, as is improvs.
