out of every rendition, this is THE best band that I have ever heard to play this piece. So much perfection in their technique, great blend, very tasteful. Nobody has a more tasteful sounds than the Japanese (obviously not counting the ones who created the genre).
@EscoBeast He is Masaru Uchibori who is a famous arranger and also a band leader of this big band in Japan. This year, he released a new album including great masterpieces. Check it out! Album title "A dedication to Jazz Giants" by Masaru Uchibori Big Band from one of Japanese fans
Now that is done with musicality and tone with some technique- It is refreshing to hear it as it is intended and not overwhelmed by gymnastics and super techical 'stuff' so prevalent today.
Smoother than the thorns in a babies arm. Too many cats have gotten away from this style of playing a saxophone. Playing the melody sweet and pure. Very good interpretation of one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
I liked so much mr. Masaru"s performance that I contacted him to see if I could buy a CD from him.. he kindly reply that they were all sold out.. what a shame, I;ll keep on listening him and his Big Band on youtube...
Mouthpiece choice changes things a lot too. There are jazz varieties of mouthpieces that are typically made of metal, and allow a lot percussive playing. With one of those and a decently stiff reed, you can project like a trumpet. Although, personal preference trumps all, so keep experimenting and you'll find a sound you like :)
I dunno if i like the sound of the horns, or it might just be the recording... On the other hand, the rhythm section sounds tight and the sax is simply heartmelting.
Jun Kondoh5+****"""" takes the Pulitzer Trophy for his improvisational dexterity and, of course, delivery of this ballad which I do hope to attempt using tenor saxophone as my vehicle of discourse. Among the great, MODERN interpretations are:😠 Alto saxophone: Grover Washington, Jr., Eric Marienthal :5* Darius Jones.:3.75* Soprano saxophone: Kenny Gorelick.4.5* Tenor Saxophone:😠 Stanley Turrentine,5* Ernie Watts,5* Rich Maraday5*
Greetings...I'm just wondering if the Masaru Uchibori chart of Sentimental Mood is available to purchase for big band? I'd sure like to have my high school jazz band perform it... Many thanks for any help you can offer,
beboppinnow: It's neither you nor I. The two songs are melodically similar, especially at the beginning, so much so that on occasions I may intent to practice the one, in thought, but find myself actually playing the other - interchangeably. They are both beautiful and emotional; aren't they?😠

The spirit of Johnny Hodges lives on in this fine alto player.
近藤淳さんの
超絶テクニックと卓越・洗練された音色🎷
超最高です👍👍👍
現在、ユーチューバーのゴーゴー淳さんの2004年当時の演奏ですね。初めて、長い演奏を聴きましたが、かっこいいですね！
This band is fantastic.More pleeeeeeease
この曲が大好きでこれが演奏したい一心で学生時代にサックスを始めました。あれから20年近く経ちますが、このバージョンを見つけて興奮してます！言葉にならないほど感動しました。

man i cant stop listening to this its beautiful one of the best versions i have heard
This is probably one of the best versions I've ever heard of this song. He has SUCH perfect tone/technique. My god, it's just mind blowing.
Did I hear a snippet of Take the A Train somewhere near the end? Yes I did!
This guy is amazing!
I've been listening to this version more than once per day during the last week, I love it!
I remember watching this when I was still in my high school jazz band, and for some reason now it seems even more amazing. What a player
Um dos trimbes e interpretação de sax alto mais lindos que já ouvi. Parabéns do Brazil...
Guys that sound this good shouldn't be wearing t-shirts.
Thank god I'm not an expert and can simply enjoy this piece of music :)
Kun is a fabulous Alto sax man and Masaru's Big Band is stellar- wow!!

I think I like it because it stays true to the original composition..... yet he has his own spin on it... true talent
Lets sit back and hear the beautiful sound of these guys, good job

BoBo Le Roy :
For beautiful simplicity, please greet Mr. Ben Webster on ballad tenor saxophone; won't you?
I liked so much mr. Masaru"s performance that I contacted him to see if I could buy a CD from him.. he kindly reply that they were all sold out.. what a shame, I;ll keep on listening him and his Big Band on youtube...

内堀先生はジャジーに攻めてきますね、それを体現する人達も凄いんですが。
内堀さんは本当に素晴らしいです!!
Duke Ellington's classic composition "In A Sentimental Mood" has outlasted all the musical genres!

Chas Hurst What a beautiful and warm high note. He has his TH-cam channel. Search name “Jun Kondo” or “go go jun-San”.
Who do I talk to for bringing them to the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, BC?
Greetings...I'm just wondering if the Masaru Uchibori chart of Sentimental Mood is available to purchase for big band? I'd sure like to have my high school jazz band perform it...
Many thanks for any help you can offer,
This arrangement is available directly from the arranger, Masaru Uchibori. I was able to purchase a copy from him for $30.
Hey isn't Eric the phenom trumpet player?
Because I enjoy his tremolo artistry too
Is the tag correct?
Does any one know, which mouthpiece model the also player use?
He uses Mayer’s mouthpiece.
@AudioForVideo tuxes anyone?
Bass is supposed to keep tempo usually, but agreed.
Is it me or does the beginning sound like "Someone To Watch Over Me"?

amazing china man
Listen to more Jazz players, it really helps I think.
@saxlukas
sorry japanese..typo
Hmmm nevermind. I didn't hear Take the A Train haha.
Maybe it was the same chords I heard....
I think this is a Japanese-man not China-man.
