Excellent interpretation of saxophone solo and amazing rendition! And delightful performance, Thanks for sharing your great talent, New friend here and Subscriber.
I LOVE the sax Sound!!!!!! It's a fantastic instrument!!! You're a great player, and I want to become a great saxophonist too. Thank you for this relaxing video ;-)
I don't use a hard reed actually. Reed of choice is a Rico Jazz select 2H. It is as Santiago Holst said Subtone there are videos describing it on You Tube. Totally overdone in this video but many people seem to like it. These days I would use less of it. All the Best.
+Kevin Bolton thanks! I don't know much about reeds honestly. As it is I use a 3 Vandorran. you use a softer reed than I would've expected by the way you sounded though
Awesome tone quality!!! Would like to hear it rise a little more over the background, though. Hard to do and keep the dynamics, but you get walked on when you go to pp/ppp. Still, nice job!
He is a lyric tenor in playing funiculifunicular sax here in this song, now matching Andrea Bocelli's voice equivalent... Jump at 2:26, you will hear and investigate the high tenor C...
I commend you on your impeccable solo! Would it be possible for you to provide a fellow tenor saxophone enthusiast with the very model of the saxophone you were using in this video?
Wow. Beautiful playing. Very inspiring. I am just picking up Tenor Sax and am wondering how you play notes, especially lows, so softly? Also, are you using your diaphragm for the vibrato or what? Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Hi, A softer reed helps you should be able to play Bb easily. If not try a softer reed. Support your tone with air stream from your diaphragm. In jazz vibrato is done with your lip.
Truly smooth. Sassy. Love the version. Trying to articulate this song on my tenor sax but struggling on making the I know, I know parts of the song. Any advice would be welcome
@@rhyleegabriel5669 5 years on and I've learnt from experience there are no real short cuts to beautiful music. Fraught with hurdles and frustrations, it's such a wonderful journey. I can't express how much joy playing has made to my life. :)
I picked up a tenor sax and am starting to learn. I keep coming back to your channel and especially this song. I love your tone in the lower register. If possible, I would like to set this song as a goal for myself. Are you using sheet music? Is it available?
Airy breathy sound - beautifully done. Playing sax 50 yrs ago in middle school - all i remember are the squeaks😜
It's like where the mouse come from 😂
I play tenor... I want this music!
Rest in piece Bill Withers 😢 🥀
I just discovered this post. That’s pure magic, that sub tone is so alluring and inviting! Regards, Jimp

Damn - I enjoyed that Kevin - Like a melodic Massage - Love singing this song too.- Steve.
absolutely crushing it sir
wonderful version !!! Thanks for share it.
How are you able to get such a beautiful fuzz sound? I haven't been able to get a good fuzz tone yet
that what I want to know
it is called subtone usually a hard reed helps and you play more on the tip of the mouthpiece.
+Santiago Holst Thanks for the advice!

Awesome sound Kev, thumbs up on the "fuzz sound" .
Great work loved your sound !, definite change in your style and sound and a good track to do it on. Nice Job,

So soul soothing !

Anyone know where I can find the sheet music for this song?
+A random name Go to Johnny Ferreira's web site , he plays this tune very differently and you can get the sheet music and backing track for a fee.
thank you :)
this is great
Very nicely done dude. Backing track is much too loud though.

Kevin Bolton Awesome thanks for the tips! Also, have you ever thought about tackling some rock? Say, maybe Urgent by Foreigner?! That would be sick.
Man, its fucking dope! congratz
Keep up the good work sound good

+Roman Cognac Hi Thanks for your kind comments. No I have not sheet music for this one its played by ear.
+Kevin Bolton OK, in that case could you tell me the key and the first three notes? Are you playing a B-flat tenor?
Really, really nice Smooth and love the sub tones What is your horn
Thanks. This Sax is a Signature Custom RAW XS Big Bell

Theo Wanne Bramah 8

Beutifull! I like warm subtone too, and what mouthpiese you using here, Otto Link early Babbit? Will not you be kind enough to clarify?
Алексей mouth piece is a Theo wanne Brahma 8
Thank you very mach for response!
Kevin, great sound!! which key you are playing?
E minor on the Tenor Sax (a Bb instrument). D minor for 'concert' instruments (ie if you wanted to play it on a piano or some such).
Nice playing! The compression on the backing track is a bit strong.
Good ~~♡♡♡
Bravissimo .
I'm having a very hard time finding sheet music for this song for a tenor sax :-(
Great! Here's an opportunity to figure it out like all the jazz cats did in the past.
Fucking awesome man! What tune is it please?
Maybe if I also played in my pyjamas,I could get that sleepy,sultry, silky sound...
I play the Tenor, and I was wondering if you could give me the noted to this song?
Thanks
Bellissima!!!!
Hummm! Really nice! (Y)
👍👍👍👍
Excelente
Nice! snap, snap, snap

Hi It’s called sub tone there are instructional videos on TH-cam. ATB
In love

Muito bom

I seems to me a Trevor James tenor sax, is it so? Thanks for the answer.
Luciano Coran signature custom raw

Sheet music anywhere?
Tenor saxophone like i play
hello does anyone knows where can i find the music sheet please?... thanks!
George Mad google
Am a student learning the tenor sax, just wondering if the airy sound is intentional or not.
For this song yes. It just makes the song more interesting, smooth, and nice in general.
Good
how do you get that air sound
you have to use a little bit less air on the note you're using
