Sad to hear of his passing. Extremely talented man, Your musicianship lives on TH-cam to be admired for years to come. God bless and Thank you. My condolences to your family RIP Mr Graves.
Rip Mr Graves. You are and will continue to be a huge inspiration to me. Huge loss to those of us that admired your playing. My deepest condolences to your family. Thank for sharing the beauty of your music.
Vladimir Lopez..I’m glad that you share my musical appreciation for Mr. Aubra Graves... As a 30 year+ veteran of the Tenor Saxophone myself ...clearly I still need to learn how to blow my horn 👍❤️
I would like a father like him, someone to listen me, to teach me how to play saxophone someone to be my dad. But unfortunately I grew up hearing that I was useless and only after my 40s I decided to buy my first saxophone and now I am living like a man. Today I am a engineer, a have a wonderful family And five years ago when I spoke to my father for the last time he said to me like this " to me you are still useless".
How lucky you are to have an iconic dad like Mr.Graves 🥰 Rest in peace 🙇🏻♂️You dad sound still in my heart every morning I woke up🥰 Thanks again to made my everyday happy 🥰🙇🏻♂️
No Saxaphonist...dead or alive can articulate a song like this man. The perfect Ballroom vibe...and his phrasing is unmatched. You willed be missed! SIP!
Truly an artist , not for money or glory, or how many tricks that can be done , but to show us what music can sound like, when it is performed from the heart. We are fortunate to be able to see and hear this, in these times. thanks Mr.Graves
I listen almost every day to some of the songs he has on TH-cam. What a great talent. The family should be proud of all of the enjoyment he has given to all of us who love Jazz. Thank You Ray
I’m watching this from 2023 and this is still going to be my best Misty saxophone Cover and you have been so far my inspiration to continue playing saxophone 🥰🙇🏻♂️
As a lifelong sax player, you are one of the few that have stirred my passion so profoundly for the instrument. YOU ARE AMAZING! Your playing is now and will always be a source of inspiration for me. I will strive to emulate you for the rest of my playing days. Thank God for you, the internet and youtube for leading me to this.
At a time when far too many jazz musicians are intent on simply racing scales through the changes, it's so nice to hear a man make every note and every pause count. Beautiful.
Misty is one of my all time favorite songs and when I heard Mr. Grave's version, I have been enchanted by this song even more. Beautiful rendition. Bravo!!
There is so much praise for this (seemingly very humble) fellow, that I thought it superfluous to add my 2 cents worth. But try as I may, I can't hold it back, I just have to let it out: This is just absolutely superb ! There, I feel better now.
I am playing a selmer Mk V11 (seven) very early ser. no. 242--- has all of the eng. etc. My mouthpiece is a New York 7* otto Link. Thanks for listening. A.Graves
Definitivamente es lo mejor que he visto, es todo un maestro de maestros e intérprete del saxo tenor y alto todo un caballero, un inmenso abrazo al señor Aubra graves y a you tube por darnos el privilegio de verlo y escucharlo.
Mr Gaves, definitivamente Ud. es un verdadero saxofonista, se ha convertido para mi, la inspiración y solo deseo que me alcance la vida no para imitarlo sino para escucharlo. De todas sus interpretaciones ninguna, ninguna es desagradable, al contrario escucharlo es relajante. Espero que El Todo Poderoso nos lo tenga por mucho tiempo, además escuchando más de sus interpretaciones.
Esta es la mejor versión que he escuchado de esta hermosa melodía. Con respeto y admiración lo felicito. Toca formidable este mi instrumento favorito, con sentimiento y gran maestria.
My dear man After trawling through the utter trash in connection with sax and sax players it is nothing short of bliss to come accross your videos and to hear a pro at work. May God grant you many many more years of giving people like me the pleasure of your skills!
Aubra Graves,ottimo solista di sax tenore,offre attraverso You Tube,la cristallina qualità delle sue performances,che mettono in risalto la sua bravura e duttilità musicale e so pratutto aggiunge,se mai ve ne era bisogno,una ulteriore riprova che il sax tenore è lo strumento "principe! della musica jazz: Lettore 725580 .
Sir: Right now it's 3:30 in the morning and I am sitting in my room in Afghanistan. I have been trying to learn the tenor saxophone forever and I must tell you that you are amazing. Thanks for making what seems like a terrible time here sound as if I'm so close to heaven when I close my eyes - Always Silverlions6
Кто поставил оценку "не понравилось" - это просто придурки!!!! Это просто ВЕЛИКИЙ тенор -саксофонист...Он играет мелодично и эо самое главное!!! Снимаю шляпу перед вами, mister Aubra!!! Браво!!!
I agree with the others. This is one more little masterpiece from you! The full tone, the sense of direction, the elegance of the melodic ideas - all this is extraordinary. Thank you for the music, Mr Graves! Ulrich Höbler
I have just started playing the tenor saxophone after having played the clarinet for years (as an amateur). I'm looking for some inspiration, and I sure found one - right here. Stan Getz and Ben Webster might just go home - if they could. This is how a tenor saxophone should sound. Congrats from Norway.
Hi from scotland, your playing is inspiring and I have played on and off for the last thirty odd years, I would be glad to just listen to you for the next thirty! what a player I wish I had your knowledge and your tone. live for evever and keep playing!!
He also played a Selmer Mark 7 at least in one video. The sax in this video doesn't like a conn to me. Look at the neck(connecting rod missing...). Mayb you're right, I'm not an expert...
Hello Mr. Graves. You're great. We can feel the love for music and for Jazz coming out of that horn. Dexter and Bird are very present in your playing. You must have incredible stories to tell in such a long career.Keep telling us your stories. But please forget that reverb. It kills your lovely tone. You sound so much greater - and truer- with no electronic effects. Much respect from Portugal José
Sad to hear of his passing.
Extremely talented man, Your musicianship lives on TH-cam to be admired for years to come.
God bless and Thank you.
My condolences to your family

Descanse en Paz señor Graves, inspiración para los tenoristas, siempre vivirá ese eterno sonido y fraseo que tanto deleite produce. RIP.
He's got Stan Getz beat. I just listened to compare them. Thanks Dad💕

still probably the best version of this song I've ever heard...
This wonderful man is every bit as good as the legendary greats, and better than many. Why hasn’t the world heard about him!
No Saxaphonist...dead or alive can articulate a song like this man. The perfect Ballroom vibe...and his phrasing is unmatched. You willed be missed! SIP!

Graças a Deus pude encontrar um ser iluminado como este senhor... Vai me inspirar para sempre tentar me aproximar dele! Obrigado Deus!
I'm going to make another video of misty , so you can see every small detail of fingering, coming very soon,
One of the best interpretations of Misty, congratulations 🎉😅
I listen almost every day to some of the songs he has on TH-cam. What a great talent. The family should be proud of all of the enjoyment he has given to all of us who love Jazz. Thank You Ray
and i'm still listening again...and again...Mr Graves, you are smoother than a silk scarf
une mélodie exceptionnelle servie par un artiste tout aussi exceptionnel !! un merveilleux moment....MERCI Maître Graves
I’m watching this from 2023 and this is still going to be my best Misty saxophone Cover and you have been so far my inspiration to continue playing saxophone 🥰🙇🏻♂️
Sublime Mr Graves...I can't listen to enough of your tracks, have added you to top of my fav's...please keep adding more

2018 and I am still listening to this song. Best sax cover of Misty!

vous avez eu raison : trop se retenir , c'est mauvais pour le coeur haahahaha !!!
jacques deghorain :
C'est vrai - voila l'ironie (de mots)! yeaah!
It doesn't get better than this... what an amazing tenor player... sweeeeet. Wow!!
Un grand,très grand saxophoniste qu'elle leçon magnifique.
One cannot get rid of such deligthtful sweet piece of art ...yes this is pure art...
With admiration from Switzerland
Incredible... LOVE listening to Mr. Graves. So beautiful with the best tone and phrasing I've ever heard. Thank you sir.
I am playing a selmer Mk V11 (seven) very early ser. no. 242--- has all of the eng. etc. My mouthpiece is a New York 7* otto Link. Thanks for listening. A.Graves
Une des plus belles version de Misty...!!!
La mejor versión, de misty, gracias por dejarnos estas grabaciones.
Rest in peace Mr Graves, you were great!!!
You are a great musician. An outstanding saxophonist. I'm a late bloomer and hope one day to play like you...
I am never bored
さすが、無駄のないリラックスした演奏は歳を重ねて奏でられるものだと実感。ライトも浴びないでも、本当に素晴らしいリヴィングコンサート、心に残るコンサートでした。若いミュージシャンは是非後に続いてほしい。
And I listened again tonight...absolutely in awe...x
Definitivamente es lo mejor que he visto, es todo un maestro de maestros e intérprete del saxo tenor y alto todo un caballero, un inmenso abrazo al señor Aubra graves y a you tube por darnos el privilegio de verlo y escucharlo.

I'm just so impressed about how you make a music out of that sax.

Mr. Aubra Graves! You play the saxophone beautifully, your expression, sound and freshness are adorably special. Thanks for sharing your art!
Wow. Why haven't I heard more from you. You're a hidden treasure.

When he started on TH-cam I think he was 82. He'll be 85 next month. Thanks for keeping him playing with good players!
is he still alive now?
Fantástica música, alimento del alma que hace que mi mente se transforme en un remanzo de paz y armonía...
L'essenza del suono unito ad una tecnica ineccepibile ma sopratutto tanto cuore,cosa dire....Stupenda interpretazione!

Lovely fluid sound down low, beautiful, thanks.

Simply wonderful to listen too....I'm on a learning curve which has taken me to a new level of listening :)
Simplesmente maravilhoso,obrigado por nos brindar com seu talento Mr.Graves
Splendid in every way. Thanks for that, I don't subscribe to much on You Tube but I will to you, because you are up there with the very best.

Amazing. Marvellous. Superb. I love this playing.
I have just started playing the tenor saxophone after having played the clarinet for years (as an amateur). I'm looking for some inspiration, and I sure found one - right here. Stan Getz and Ben Webster might just go home - if they could. This is how a tenor saxophone should sound. Congrats from Norway.

Soberbia versión, desprende una perfecta armonía, subyuga y emociona.Un Maestro
You get such a sweet sound from that Selmer sax. I love your TH-cam music videos. Just plain wonderful! Thank you.
He plays a Conn 10M ..
He also played a Selmer Mark 7 at least in one video. The sax in this video doesn't like a conn to me. Look at the neck(connecting rod missing...). Mayb you're right, I'm not an expert...
HCL991 you are correct sir...defo not a Conn, no neck bridge and that's where I put my cigar in between blows...
mark 7
Oh hello, hidden gem of a musician!
Hello Mr. Graves.
You're great.
We can feel the love for music and for Jazz coming out of that horn. Dexter and Bird are very present in your playing. You must have incredible stories to tell in such a long career.Keep telling us your stories. But please forget that reverb. It kills your lovely tone. You sound so much greater - and truer- with no electronic effects.
Much respect from Portugal
José
I'm still listening....and the goosebumps are still growing...x
And I'm still listening...and practicing...nearly there, another 20 years and I think I'll have it almost just right
It's been said already. Bravo and a encore. SUPER!!!!!!!!
Best version I have ever heard.
PERFEITO...... TOCA MUITO.....
