      he could play on your gutters with holes in them and still make a fab sound. 1 hell of a saxophone player.

    Good lord I miss my King Tenor. That tone is so unmistakable and smooth. That sax needed a cigarette after that.

    So glad I found this tune....... I play it on a regular basis. I feel bad for people who haven't let jazz into their hearts yet.

    I really don't think there are enough superlatives to describe this man's playing. I just came across this channel the other day. I've already gone through ALL the videos. All these cats are smoothe! And take a look at the room. It's cinder block!! That sound in that room?? Off the charts!

    In HS band I played an old donated tenor sax. The lacquer was faded, pads dry and cracked, had a crappy mouthpiece. Had almost no dents though, and it had such an amazing sound... I loved it. Being a super amateur I had no idea until I asked my friend later on the did some research... Older King instrument, really wish I could have kept it. Was the first tenor sax I really ever played laying around a band room in AL somewhere
    You sir, just played one of the nicest pieces I've heard in a long time

    My third song with tonight. You're killing me with the magic. Heck of a song to show those hard to find silky skills. Wonderful interpretation. Smoking a cigar, 46° and you. Doesn't get better unless I was backing you. Keep the songs coming.

    So great is Stuart's "balladization" of this adorable tune that I momentarily have thought that I have been listening to Nino Tempo or Stan Getz.
    Hope he will forgive my stealing an idea or two from his soulfully beautiful brilliancy.

    Super soft meets very edgy to produce a lovely sound. Takes years to get this good. This is so good you’re unlikely to come close. Hats off. But the song isthe thing. I’ll never be a good player but I play this song. Think about the words.
