- Solo Performance of Georgia On My Mind on Alto Saxophone by Marty Paoletta.
I Haven't played much for the last fifteen years. Now looking to play again for enjoyment and professionally. My all - time favorite saxophone player is David Sanborn - probably obvious because of the similar way that I approach a song.
I get asked frequently how I am able to get the Sanborn tone. Believe me, I worked on it for months as a young musician. I finally figured out a couple of things, mainly to keep your mouth cavity wide open and let the reed vibrate naturally. The rest is just feel and passion.
My setup is a Selmer Mark VI, A Dukoff P8 mouthpiece, and Vandoren v16 2 1/2 strength reeds.
I am planning to put together some videos giving instruction on how to achieve tone, overblow, and altissimo notes. Stay tuned.
By the way, I am definitely looking to tour again. Any national or international acts that need a sax, keyboard, vocalist musician, I am your man.
sax players are much appreciated
❤дуже професійно, дякую!
I can't even portray emotion this well with words..
Wow. That's the most beautiful sound I ever heard. Keep putting more up. Made me get mine out of storage. Hope one day I could come close to you. ..great job
I’m so glad I found this video again after 11 years - this is the definitive cover of the song!
My good sir. I got shivers when I heard this amazing...
Damn. This makes me want to pick up the saxophone again.
Every body loves some good sax
Man.. You convinced me to learn saxophone.. I always wanted
I ran into this on my first day of jazz Band in 8th grade. I’m now in my 3rd year of college and I listen to this and think of all of the memories this is tied to. My friends and I trying to recreate this in the band room. Long nights doing homework and listening to this. It’s listened/seen this video countless times. Honestly makes me want to pick up my saxophone and Try to play this. It’s been 4 years since I’ve played it. Thank you for this, truly touched my heart to the max. Life changing to say the least
I come back to this video from time to time.
Saxophone is my favourite instrument!!
Bellissima versione 👍🙏👋
I want to learn to solo like this so badly!!!
I know right! me too!
All I can say is HALLELUJAH and Amen brother! Somewhere angels are shedding tears.
You say you haven't played much in the last 15 years? wow. just amazing
Yet we still wonder why this guy isnt on Saturday Night Live or Good Morning America... Great Sax playing man , angels shed tears of joy when they hear this.
this is why i started playing
alex huc same
I started highschool band I’m an alto sax
- TurnCoat - dude same
this is why i should start playing..
the song is so simple but with the right feeling to it, its probably the best thing one can play
love the sound of your saxophone!
This makes the hair on ur arms go up and turns the heart into melting butter. So much soul...fantastic.
Fantastic solo, great improvisation, your Sanborn-like style and sound are just awesome, with a lot of emotion ! Thanks for sharing this lovely video ! Very inspirational for all of us humble saxophonists !
i'm 46. i strive to rise to this level of perfection. you truly are a master? Bravo
Saxophone is the king of the music.
A weird, yet intriguing conversation. It's saturday morning, I woke up really early and felt the need to hear some sax. Hearing this fine music over my weekend morning coffee and reading a quite personal conversation between two complete strangers while still rubbing my eyes... You gotta love the internet. Life is good today, and although it's raining I'm going to take the Honda out for a spin after my shower. Thanks for the unworldly morning experience, and peace to both of ya! :)
You need to go Americas got talent or something. Your talent cannot be hidden forever go show it to world !
yaaa!
How is posting it on youtube keeping it "hidden"?
+slerps because not enough people know about it
As of 2015 TH-cam has a bigger fanbase (this means it's more popular, if you can't think further than your nose) than ANY television programme ever aired. So its impossible to show more people, than post it on TH-cam.
You must be some kind of special stupid @NamesAreForPussies, publishing this content on TH-cam doesn't bring all eyes to him, even though there are tons browsing it daily. Compare it to Americas Got Talent, where all eyes are focused on him, and not anyone else, and then your argument crumbles.
Ciao Marty, thank you so much for this wonderful sound. It is the best interpretation of this song on a saxophone. I wish I could play like you do. I can't stop listening you year after year. Grazie mile.
Loved the way you played this cover song. Well done. Keep it up and keep sharing. Learned a lot listening you play. Thank you.
This is far the best version of Georgia on my mind I've found yet.Sounds soooo nice.
You sound AMAZING! I play clarinet, but I really haven't been playing as much as I used too. There's no way that I could pick it back up and sound this good.You truly have a gift!
like sliding through bliss; just heaven. That first note just spreads a smile over your face.
Wow! His tone & phasing are spot on to Sanborn's, only thing is missing is the way Sanborn plays from the side of his mouth lol.
Well delivered with that Sanbornian tonality and effects...
Both Grover Washington Jr. and Gerald Albright have done interpretations of this beautiful song.
Let's listen; shall we not?
Love it very much, Marty.
Keep on playing!
ONE OF MY ALL TIME FABZZZ BRO!!!!....AWESOME JOB ON THE SAX!!!
Just for the record Marty, I come back here every now and then! I chill out then I go back to my sax, and try to do this... Don't ever remove this Tube, it would be a very sad thing to lots of people!
I know nothing of sax playing, but I know I loved this.......
Wow! It's like hearing DAVID SANBORN right there playing the alto sax!
Very nice: brother you got some soul in that sax of yours! I'm feelin' this cuz!!!
this song played by Marty was what made me understand the true meaning of music... love it...
you should post a version of this with no editing just the raw sound
Hi Marty, I had about 35 lessons as a newbie on the alto sax, then the world abruptly stood still, with the Lockdown in March 2020. ( so couldn't carry on with lessons) with listening to your beautiful playing - NEED to get back to playing most days, like I was!!
GOOD JOB SIR!!!
I have heard it covered a million times on sax and this one has to be my favorite. I would have assumed it was Hank Crawford if i walked into a room and this was playing. And I mean that as a huge compliment. Love the tone and style.
So damn saxy!
Amazing solo, i have been playing for 30 years and applaude you Sir, sheer brilliance. Great intonation and tonal quality, sheer brilliance a real joy to listen to you are truly an amazing player.
Anyone ever say you look a little like Biff from back to the future? I'm sorry for that😋 You are a fabulous sax player man. That's good stuff..
Tony L Tate haha goodone
Simply wonderful, Marty. I hope you are still playing on a daily basis. This world needs you more than ever.
where can i find the sheet music at ??? I really like this !!!!!
10 year check in. Marty stay getting me ladies. MVP!
I just got pregnant listening to this, is that possible for males?
Very
Just a trickle 😉
Hahahaha !!!
That alto is just pure sound.
i think everyone just had an eargasam
you misspelled orgasm.
Plastic Cup
eargasam means you loved the song
therammaker yes and orgasm means i came into the song.
Plastic Cup not into the song..
Theguitarwhiz
Oh yes into the song. All over it
Wonderful !
This may sound like a stupid question, but how long does it take to get this good at the saxophone? Is it a difficult instrument to learn? Are there particularly difficult techniques with the saxophone?
It's one of my favourite instrument sounds. I play piano, drums, guitar so already have 'an ear' for music, and I would love to learn the saxophone!
The sax happens to be one of the easiest to learn, but to be this good may take a while.
Playing saxophone is amazing I'm 12 and playing for 4 years now, and I enjoy every minute of playing, you really should too:)
benw567 just go out and buy one ! I did after playing drums and vibes for 66 years
aged 80 next best thing I ever did (after buying my first drum kit) !!.
benw567 Many thousands of hours.... probably like over 8000 hours of practicing
talbotvanman Dude you're fucking 80? You're the oldest person i've seen on the internet o.O
I felt that, the alto sax solo caved my chest in... RESPECT THIS MAN TO THE FULLEST!!!!
My body is ready.....
Kedron Mallia My body is Reggie...
😭
This guy is the man! Look at the soul, the sax, the hair!
Dude...you move me
I was blown away and now I can feel as if I can now play any song on my saxophone thank you
I would love to play this instrument
quite easy, only takes about 1 year of teaching and endless practice
Learn it learn it learn it. Start today
Elliot Labbe I pretty good on the piano and guitar, the fingering on the sax scares me, i know my music theory pretty damn well.
MrCurly210 LEARN IT!!!! Especially since you already know how to read music omg you will learn in no time!

I am 59 and decided to re-visit my high school band instrument thanks to this video. I didn't know a sax could have that much soul! I've got to learn that tone! Great great job man!
He played it so well, a tear of bliss ran down my smile
Marty, you're too good to be true on that sax, and need to satisfy our need for more of your music before we faint of regular folk playing regular sax: like me.

One sax player to another...you brought the soul
THE VERY BEST "GEORGIA ON MY MIND" that cover by ALTO SAX.. EVERRRRR..
Salute from Indonesia..
Just came to listen again. Blows my mind Again. Damm braa you good.
I love this sound...the other day I was going on the street and I saw a man playing like this...It was the best moment of my day.I opened my walet and gave him all the change I had.I just looked to the river and felt the cold evening wind on my face, enjoying the sound-
I play tenor. Many years. Love the soul in your tone. David Sanborn/Fathead Newman. Nice backing track and miking of your horn with some reverb. Thanks very much.
Fantastic job! That sound just takes you away. I feel like I'm cruising through New York, late at night, and all's right with the world.
Just got back from watching extremely bad sax videos... this was absolute relief.
When you get to heaven, all of the alto and tenor saxes are Selmer Mark VI.
Nicely played!!
Beautiful. Simply beautiful.
This is what our generation needs!
yes, my friend. yes this is the real sound of the sax romantic. I'm from Brazil. spectacular sound of his sax. congratulations to you.
I adore this, absolutely!
