some of the stuff was pretty cool... some sounded like parts of christmas songs...
some of it was just a bit to dissonant (some dissonance is good if it's trying to be, but it your dissonance didnt sound like it fitted)
altered:
that was pretty cool. some things you need to notice is the note selection on the sax solo. when you go astray from the main scale you were using, you don't want it to stick out (i.e. hold out a note that just doesn't fit), but you can use weird selections in runs
cool syncopation on the solo though.
