This version you have done has completely changed my outlook on life, I lost a very close friend in April at such a young age, this was played at her funeral with a sax and has inspired me to take up the saxophone and learn this song so that I can play it on her anniversary every year with my friends. I’ve always loved the sound of the sax and always wanted to play it and now I’m learning slowly as the sound just reminds me of my passed friend. Thank you man 💕
I do this thing with my dad, where we show each other every beautiful song we come across. I showed him this and he began crying. He is so blown away, thank you for putting this out there. This is so amazing and touching!
Beth Hulcy Thanks Beth ... I'm sure that you are great on the sax. Passion for the horn carries you a long way and I can hear you passion in your words.
Thanks! If you are interested I have an original song available on iTunes titled: "There Are No Words" ... check it out ;-) again, thanks of the kind words and for listening: itunes.apple.com/us/album/there-are-no-words-single/id913996364
marvelous DEAR JAMES - I WILL ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR VERSION WHEN I AM ANGRY AND FURIOUS BECAUSE ITS VERY RELAXING AND CALM - YOU ARE REALLY A GREAT MUSICIAN - KEEP YOUR GREAT WORK BECAUSE YOU ARE VERY TALENTOUS - GREATINGS FRON SAO PAULO - MELISSA CRISTINA
No words to describe how awesome!!! Just started learning the sax so I know how much skill this requires. If I could even get half as good in the next 10 years I would be very happy.
you do not need to listen to the whole song just the first note because it is so amazing literally the best I've heard come out of a saxophone I can not believe this great job keep up the good, no amazing work!
+jukebox jay WOW!! thank you so much!! This is an amazing comment! Thanks you for taking the time to share your kind words and for taking the time to listen.
Heard your cover by acccedent before and l downloaded it imediatly, then lost my files , I have never been that sad about loosing one of my files before , but happily today I've found you :-) You are the most gifted musician I've ever had the pleasure of hearing ,you'r way of delivering the notes was sensational ,keep it up,and good Luck sir
I hope you are famous, because you are the best I have ever heard. And I love (Kenny G). There is something unique about the way you play can't describe it but it's special.
Thank you SO much Carol! Those are strong words and I truly appreciate them. I try my best to stick as close to the melody as possible. I often joke and say "...If I could sing I would be a really good singer!" LOL Guess I try to sing through my horn and be careful with the phrasing. Again, thanks so much!
best version i have ever heard except for the orginal. song reminds me of mom who we lost 29 years ago. thanks for bringing happy tears along with happy memories.
Hopatcong1981 wow! Thanks so much for the kind words. I am so happy that it brought back happy memories. I am also glad that you took 8 minutes of your life to give this a listen.
Amazing performance James. I will not lie this has got to be my favourite cover of yours, by far the best cover of this song. Thank you very much for making this cover on one of my most treasured songs for me.
So surprised at how beautiful this sounds! I'm wanting to get back to playing my sax since I stopped about 5 years ago and you sir, have inspired me! So lovely!
I am in love with the richness of your sound. I play the Alto sax as well. I don't pick it up as often as I should. I'm 35 and when I grow up I want to sound like you haha. Good job man!
great job, as a hard rock guy I've come to appreciate the saxaphone more and more over the years. Not sure whether you consider this a compliment but you have a Boney James sound, who I like a lot.
Oh my!! I thought I shared it with you? It had over 8 million views on the website vube until they removed a lot of my material. I'm actually impressed that 40,000 here on the tube wanted hear me play. :-) Glad you liked it.
You are amazing. I can't believe that I'm not seeing this live in concert. You are too good to be a TH-cam artist you should be on tour somewhere or in the studio recording your own album.
This is Incredible James. I enjoyed listening to this more than I do the original. I have just rented a saxophone to have a go at learning to play. I hope I can become even half as good as you.
Found this on Vube by accident, but had to download it on youtube. It is one of the best songs ever written and I have a few covers. Have you heard the Led Zepp/ Pink Floyd version? Must be played loud! This version is beautiful and makes me cry. Great sensitive sax work.
So glad you stumbled across this! The vube counter shows 7 million views!! No, I haven't heard Led Zepp/Pink Floyd's version ... but I'll be sure to check it out. I hope the tears are tears of joy? I know the song is rock, but it is a very intimate and sensitive song and tried to stay respectful to that. Thanks so much for your comment and for listening.
im choosing either this song or just the way you are by bruno mars for my end of the year solo grade in band class. how hard was it to learn? i have almost 5 years experience of playing alto sax.
Hey Tristen! It wasn't very hard at all ... I played through it once and then recorded it. As long as you keep the original song and words in your head you will find it is very easy. Let me know if I can help in anyway. ;-)
This version you have done has completely changed my outlook on life, I lost a very close friend in April at such a young age, this was played at her funeral with a sax and has inspired me to take up the saxophone and learn this song so that I can play it on her anniversary every year with my friends.

This sounds incredible I actually play this cover right before I go to sleep. You are very talented.
Thanks so much for listening ... I appreciate your kind words!
I do this thing with my dad, where we show each other every beautiful song we come across. I showed him this and he began crying. He is so blown away, thank you for putting this out there. This is so amazing and touching!
This is so amazing... I'm a senior in high school and play alto saxophone. I hope one day I can be as great of a musician as you are. Excellent job!
Beth Hulcy Thanks Beth ... I'm sure that you are great on the sax. Passion for the horn carries you a long way and I can hear you passion in your words.
WOW, please play more.....so we can all enjoy music so uplifting, soulful and wonderful.

Thanks!

What smooth sound. Mr. Green did justice to Led Zeppelins song.
Wonderful version of this amazing song. Your sax playing was very soulful. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! It was my pleasure for sure.
I am in love with the richness of your sound. I play the Alto sax as well. I don't pick it up as often as I should. I'm 35 and when I grow up I want to sound like you haha. Good job man!
+Samantha Thomas Thanks ... we're not too far apart in age. :-) The sax is such a beautiful horn.
great job, as a hard rock guy I've come to appreciate the saxaphone more and more over the years. Not sure whether you consider this a compliment but you have a Boney James sound, who I like a lot.
Amazing. Simply amazing, thank you for this.
+jonathan obregon You are most welcome ... and thank you for taking 8:30 of your time to lend an ear. :-)
that's music, that's harmony, well done.
Thanks, James. This is amazing, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Go, Pirates!
Thank *YOU* Rhonda for subjecting your ears to my noise! SO glad you enjoyed it ... YES, gotta represent those Pirates :-)
That's some good noise!
Masterful, what can be said? "Everything turns to gold" that this sax plays
Can't wait to go watch all your other videos
+Christian Graves I hope you find the vids enjoyable. Thanks for taking the time to listen.
Neat cover. There's a guy who brings his sax to the gym and plays in the Zumba room when no one is there. I find it to be an intriguing instrument.
Skill and Beauty x loads of sweet talent
