I am a former trumpet player and I've played some Tenor saxophone and I must tell you that you are one of the best I've ever heard. You play with so much soul and are able to communicate your emotions through the instrument. Thanks so much for sharing your work, John Stefan
I'm usually not a fan of saxophone music but goodness I could listen to for hours. It's the right song with the right tempo and the right instrument, love it :D
This is probably the smoothest live version I've heard. Very nicely done!! This is my favorite song to listen to when I feel like listening to instrumental jazz.
That's the most excellent compliment ever! Music is good for our unborn brothers and sisters - I'm thrilled to know that yours enjoyed mine. Thanks, Dr., for sharing that with me; it made my day. ~Mark P.S. If you'd like to hear more of my music, I invite you to visit my Dr. SaxLove TH-cam channel: th-cam.com/users/drsaxlove. Enjoy!
I just can't get enough of your work! From the ones I have come across, 'Just my imagination' is the best for me. Keep making us happy! So much love from Addis Ababa.
Espectacular ese talento que acompaña al señor Maxwell. Es un regalo muy grande de Dios, para el y para nosotros que nos deleitarnos con su música. Gracias Mark. Dios lo cuide mucho
Omg I absolutely love the soulful melody sounds of the tenor saxophone, and particularly love this cover of ain’t no sunshine, the subtle difference between original and this version are mind blowing dude 👌👏
Thank you very much. This is just splendid !! Much respect to you, and even more for listening to your wife. Continue to value her. Love, Blessings !!!
+S.E. GREENIDGE I have learned, over the years, that my wife knows best in these matters. She puts the Love in Dr. SaxLove! :-) Thanks for the kind words, S.E., and thanks for listening! ~Dr. SaxLove
As always, Teresa, you are very kind and generous and I appreciate your compliments! This is one of quite a few songs my wife insisted that I record. Can you believe that I was initially resistant? 😊This song's success was a big lesson for me about listening to her intuitions about what songs to record. ❤️
@@DrSaxLove your wife is an excellent and wonderful partner...so glad that she is with you..may your journey together takes you to many great places..all my best from my humble heart Dr..❤🤗
Thank you so much, Srinivas - I appreciate that very much. You might also very much enjoy our Dr. Saxlove TH-cam Channel - th-cam.com/users/drsaxlove. Enjoy!
+Gerard de Goede That IS a sexy sound, isn't it? And yes, sax and harp sound awesome together, don't they? We need more of it in the world! Hey, Gerard, thanks for listening - I appreciate it! ~Dr. SaxLove
Mark, I love this cut you did as well as "papas got a brand new bag". Got to tell you I go to sleep by your tunes almost nightly. Don`t expect you to believe me but I went out and bought a tenor sax ( I have never played before) just so I could find the notes to these two songs of yours and try to sound like you. It`s hard but I told my family that I would learn how to play these two songs by the end of the year. If I don`t it won't be because I haven't been practicing daily. Love love your musical sound.
+Randy Young Hi, Randy. I'm amazed by your ambition and I wish you well! Let me know if I can help you in any way, okay? And thanks for listening, man - I appreciate you! ~Mark
Mark Maxwell, I was reading other comments. Did I understand that if I purchace this song that you would also send me the sheet music to it as well? I would love to have the sheet music of this version of aint no sunshine and also your version of papa got a brand new bag. I don`t read music but if I could have someone show me the notes I can figure out the fingering. Thank you again for the wonderful sound that you produce on your saxophone. All i want to do by the end of the year is to learn these two songs of yours and play them as you played them in these videos. Thank you
+Randy Young I don't have the sheet music for either of those songs, Randy. And besides, I highly recommend learning those songs by ear. You'll learn more and better that way. The best advice I can give you is to try and play every day, if even for a few minutes. Take your sax out, put it on a sax stand, and leave it where you can just grab it without having to take it out of the case. Playing every day even for 5 minutes will increase your skills greatly and quickly!
Does anyone have the score for this version or link. I have the music for another older version (from blies harmonica vol. 1) but I like this version more.. thanks
Hey, jaymac, thanks for the kind words - I appreciate it very much. That's actually an SR Tech mouthpiece, and I think when I did this video I was using Fibracell reeds (I have since switched to cane reeds). 🙏 I appreciate you, man! 😊
Hello Jonathon. You can find a transcription here -> www.backingtracks.pro/sheet-music/. That transcription is for the albums version of the song, though, and that can be found here -> markmaxwellmusic.com/saxomonica-blues. 🙏
+pedro fonseca Hey, Pedro, thanks for your inquiry. I'm sorry to say that there is no play-along to my version of "After The Dance". Anything else I can help you with?
Hi. Am thinking of getting the backing track as mentioned in descriptions etc but the full instrumental with sax is over 4 mins but the backing track is just over 2 mins in length. Am I missing something. Reluctant to buy at the moment
The backing track can be found here -> www.backingtracks.pro/downloads/aint-no-sunshine/. It's 4:21 long, same exact track that I used on this video. 🙏 Enjoy!
+Idreesy Koum Yes, I did play that by ear (sorry, you told me not to tell you that). I don't have this version written out, but someone did take the time to write out one of my previous versions; you can find that here: saxtranscriptions.com/tenor%20sax%20songs.html . Look in the "M" section. Good luck, let me know if I can help further! ~Mark
+Idreesy Koum Alright, here's what you should do: go to markmaxwellmusic.com/contact and send me a message from there. I'll email you back with the sheet music. Cool?
Love your channel, love the music, love your altruism. Wishing you the best life has to offer. P.S. Can you find some Sax stuff in the vein of Jimmy Sax? Please? th-cam.com/users/misterluqui

Most very kind of you to say, @johnstefan-vn9sg - you do me great honor! 🙏 I appreciate you!
In my opinion it is the best sax version of this song. 👏👏
I appreciate the love, Stefano, and your very kind words! 😊
I'm usually not a fan of saxophone music but goodness I could listen to for hours. It's the right song with the right tempo and the right instrument, love it :D
So nice of you to take the time to reach out to me, friend. I appreciate your kind words and I appreciate you! ~Mark
You listen to this and all the shit around you goes away. Once you turn if off it's like being on withdrawal only worse.
The best sound I have heard on the saxophone so far. thanks for sharing your talent friend
I appreciate the love, Fabian! Thrilled that you enjoyed it. 🙏
This is probably the smoothest live version I've heard. Very nicely done!! This is my favorite song to listen to when I feel like listening to instrumental jazz.

I like this one more, too, H&FS, but there is no transcription for it. Sorry. 🙏
NICE , is that a Dukoff and if not what mouthpiece is it and what read you like ?
Thanks
Hey, jaymac, thanks for the kind words - I appreciate it very much. That's actually an SR Tech mouthpiece, and I think when I did this video I was using Fibracell reeds (I have since switched to cane reeds). 🙏 I appreciate you, man! 😊
Any sheet music for the version youre playing?

Where you simply playing the vocal notes or was there also rythm notes being played as well?
Thanks for the question, WR. I was playing a combination of the vocal notes and a lot of jazz-style improvisation.
who is playing the harmonica?
That is my buddy, Paul Michael Meredith from San Francisco on the harmonica. Smokin', ain't he?
Bu çalgı aleti sırf türkiyede Saksafonun farklı anlamlara çekilmesinden dolayı çalınmaması ilginç. Babacım saksafonmu çalion 😎😉
reminds me alot of pink floyd or kingston wall
