I saw Mindi Abair at Summerfest 2017 in Milwaukee, WI. Man she tore that sax up, playing with the Boneshakers! Funky and bluesy was she and the whole crowd gave her a standing ovation!
I've grown up listening to every kind of music from Jazz, to rock, to classical, to R&B -- you name it. I have listened to all variety of forms of music for over 50 years. Sure, I have my tastes but I also have my ears. I've viewed and listened to three different live Mindi Abair performances, and must say that Mindi Abair is the real deal. For those of you that don't get it, then get out -- and let this great Abair party and her talented musicians go on.
One of most talented Sax jockeys I've ever heard..Right up there or better than Grover and David and Clarence... This woman has Absolute class and an ontime beat like no other.....You ROCK MINDI!!!
It's truly unreal how great artists like Mindi will always be overlooked due to what is deemed popular music. The problem is that not enough people are subjected to music like this. In my area of upstate NY, our local jazz station was taken off the air. It was replaced by a top 40 station. I always found amazing music on that station and was very disappointed by its demise. All hail the truly talented musicians of the world!
mindi just rocks, just cant stop listenng to all her tracks on you tube, such a funky upbeat style to everything she puts her mouth and fingers too, and that is not a euphanism, just truly mindi has soul and it is lovely we are lucky enough to hear it.
This so wonderful. She is truly Queen of Sax. The cream of the crop. If she doesn't jam for you then your DEAD. Also lets NOT Forget Her EQUAL Candy Dulfer. !!!!!!!
@iamthesaxmaster the solo you think she's trying to fake is being played by the keybord guy at the background, she's using a microKORG vocoder and synthesizer to put the background effects, so yes, she's actually playing the keyboard but not the solo. That microKorg sends effects and midi signals it may start sequences and many other things.
I heard that song back when I was a kid when I listened to 94.7 KSSJ Sacramento's Smooth Jazz along with the song called Lucy's. I miss that station. I hope to run my own radio station called KEDJN El Dorado's Smooth Jazz and New Age station.
😮😮 I've been hearing this tune in this format for years...... I had no Idea that the Sax Player was a Blonde with Bangs? EVEN BETTER! She sings too???!!!! OKAY THEN!
I am not sure, but I think it is some kind of electrified straight alto. I know that when I was playing sax in a rock group, I played tenor and alto, but stayed away from the soprano. Unless you spend a LOT of money on a good soprano, it can be very hard to keep it all in tune up and down the range of the instrument. I played a curved soprano for a short time a long time ago, it played ok, but I was never sold on it. I am a tenor guy. I played the alto as a favor to the guitar player in the band. He had a couple of songs he wanted the alto sound on.
You are so right :) Expacialy in Swing Jazz etc there are so much Shortminded people.. they dont listen to music.. they analyze it. Its ok if they dont like it.. me dont like a lot also but they hate it cause of the wrong intentions. They are poor and never will have the feelings people like me will have.. i listen with my Body not with my Brain.
@ MrPartidoalto, you need to move on fella, it isn't a competition! All the artists you mention are legends, that doesn't preclude the new artists making their way, music is music, but theses days they entertain as well. Lighten up fella. Try watching Brian Culbertson live, and then tell me he can't play the piano like Joe Sample, take a break man.!
Fuck.... I agree with you 100%... Why listen to this when there's players like Chris Potter out there? She makes that thing sound like a toy and minor pentatonic gets old after a chorus. YAY POP! Not sure why I came to this video at all. Where's a Brecker video when I need one?

She sings, writes, composes and plays multiple instruments, now that's talent. Many of today's 'singers' should take note.
The woman is golden.

*Wow - just found more smooth jazz with a boat load of FLAVOR!*
she is awesome, i had the pleasure to see her perform live 3x!!!!
I saw Mindi for the first time in concert this past weekend in Atlanta. She is a bad girl!

Her saprono sax playing is perfect sorry if I spelled something wrong
Its actually a straight Alto
@@davidwilson4980 Soprano.
Great groove ...
Summerfest baby! THE LARGEST MUSIC FESTIVAL IN THE WORLD, HANDS DOWN!
This so wonderful. She is truly Queen of Sax. The cream of the crop. If she doesn't jam for you then your DEAD. Also lets NOT Forget Her EQUAL Candy Dulfer. !!!!!!!
This lady is a great talent and has played with and is praised by some of the best musicians out there!
All I can say is...she's good. I've not heard a smooth jazz sax player this good since I first heard Candy Dulfer more than twenty years ago.
she's a real firecracker! Great song! awesome job!
Those guys were getting pretty weird at 5:00 hahaha
She plays a great soprano as well! What can't this woman do? Nice!!! Band is definitely killin it too!!!

Love Mindi's style, no matter what she plays it's got that special feeling to it.
This is completely awesome,
Nice! Awesome group!!!!!

소프라노 색소폰 연주 우연히 들었습니다. 주로 알토만 들었거든요. It is very nice. I have a curve soprano saxophone. The sound is good.
You GO girl. 👍👍
I love this
I checked out Ms Abair in Cleveland with Dave Koz and Rick Braun. She TRULY stole the show. Her energy in performance is as good as her chops.
Sounds awesome. Just heard this song for the first time today. I'll be buying some music.
I just love this funky jam. Mindi is a fantastic sax player, and definitely not hard on the eyes.
Superb I love if more every time I listen to this, thank you.
Soooo cool! 🥰
YOU Mindi sax to dream fantastic I love this kind of music super!!!!
Funky Saxonista! Go Mindi you rock girl ;0))
Mindi is badass!!!
Great tune!!

I LOVE HER WHOLE SWINGIN ATTITUDE!
😮😮 I've been hearing this tune in this format for years...... I had no Idea that the Sax Player was a Blonde with Bangs?

Candy Dulfer did this too. Dulfer is Prince find. Good stuff.
Восхитительно!

@bassbonelever ill be there at the nick hotel! I hope you guys do good. I pretty excited for it
Great
Mindi Abair should be on the Mt. Rushmore of Sax players
Funny thing is, I can't find a video of your precious "Spaulding" playing a sax anywhere.
Hey Mindi, u right.! I sure Do.!
wow good job. :)
Damn what kind of Sax is that? An alto/soprano? What a great player!
I am not sure, but I think it is some kind of electrified straight alto. I know that when I was playing sax in a rock group, I played tenor and alto, but stayed away from the soprano.

Wow! I love you....!
I got to say this is great music
Geez, 14 years ago already....
Nice
Shes freakin' Edgar Winter!
Can play anything!
Fortunate she looks completely different!
Stole the show on American Idol last night!
I like mindi !
very good
muito boa...
Mindi is the best
If You really feel bad just take time to listen to flirt how could you not feel better!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think this is what carrie underwood would sound like if she played saxophone
You are so right :) Expacialy in Swing Jazz etc there are so much Shortminded people.. they dont listen to music.. they analyze it.

ts modern jazz and she is great!
@inilledra ,100 % true statements !
creó que todos lo vídeos de mundo este es el que más me gusta ya que toca saxo soprano...
el mejor saxo a mi punto de vista es el soprano !
The pide pipper ain't got nothin on her!!! She could make em follow her anywhere with that horn LOL!!! Go girl I am at your command HA!!!!!
8/10 would bang
One hot mama
oooooooo rock me
No one should be allowed to be that skilled AND sexy. Just not fair to the rest of us.
I literally LOVE this woman. I would learn to cook, clean, WHATEVER IT TAKES, if she would divorce her husband and marry me!!!!!
If sun ra was narrow minded he'd probably write like you. Fun song!
Never knew you make a soprano sound like a kazoo
She is a Professional BLOWER... :P
Spicy. 😋
Sad. Real sad. Elevator music that will make me gat out out of that elevator ASAP!
@inilledra I'll show YOU what good music is! KISS MY GRITS!
I agree. It is a very unrefined sound.
Thumbs up if the keyboard player blew your mind!
Opinions are like Aholes, everybody has one, you taste and others are not the same. Stop hating and let the music play.
ノリノリ
What kind of trumpet is that?
I never knew she played soprano
Magna Cum Laude - Berklee! Nuff said Sonny?!!
bad bet. Check her bio.
@chuckew1 Really???!!! Other than your best LITTLE BUDDY, what can you play?
Candy eat your heart out.....
always room for more -Candy -I luv ya :-}
she sounds great, but I like her better in the Alto.
