Ghost Train is a jazz fusion tour de force, originally for tenor saxophone, swapping to soprano saxophone for the second half of the piece. The piece is greatly influenced by the Brecker Brothers and their characteristic style can be heard throughout. The piece is published for saxophone and tape, and a harmoniser can optionally be used for the soprano saxophone. Originally scored for tenor saxophone swapping to soprano halfway through, the digital download also includes a version transposed for alto swapping to soprano and a version solely on soprano.
Ghost Train is recorded on Electric Dawn (Sospiro Records).

Ghost Train
This piece uses a harmoniser effect, harmonising the saxophone both up and down by a 4th. (The piece can still be performed without this effect however)
