    This is the best form of art :,) such beautiful music! I was torn between alto or tenor but after watching this I know the tenor has my heart, and I will be purchasing my first sax very soon! Thank you!

      Congrats! They're both beautiful instruments, but I find the tenor richer and more versatile. That being said, if you can, learn them all! Good luck on your saxophone journey, enjoy!

    I really liked the first concert F the lead trumpet played at 3:35 as a #9 - never recall having heard that harmony used to open a rhythm-changes-style bridge. The second F worked too, of course. The third one...I was wanting to hear a 1/2 step move in either direction to go with the dominant 7, but the V chord brought it all back together with a shake to boot ;-) Nice lead chops!

      yea its a bit low he still has a great sound , he just wouldnt have to stick his neck out like that proly get an even better/bigger sound if he pulled his neck strap up and brought his horn a bit more into his mouth. soem cats are used to it like that , sax is a very personal insrtument its gotta be just right.

      @@NYCSportsNBA i agree he sounds great , i just think he looks very uncomfortable. i'm a 50 year sax player and teacher and what comes out of the horn is what counts but the way he has the strap he will have back aches and even jaw and mouth pain since the strap is doing no work more of the weight of the sax is on his lip than should be but when you play great who cares? it's up to him i guess

    Yeah! And this is why today music suck, you may not like Jazz or Classical but what a dynamic! Dynamic and the metronome is not fixed. All the music we listen in radio is produced with zero dynamic and no timing variations. Flat
