As a former student at the Paris Conservatory with the Master, Marcel Mule, (1958-1961, same time as Eugene Rousseau), I would only like to specify one thing. The recordings played by Marcel Mule which are published on TH-cam, give only a very approximate idea from how his sound really was. These are recordings made more a 60 years ago, with poor equipment and afterwards passed trough filters in order to clean the noise out. During the lessons (always class lessons) he played all the time for us. He never did bring a horn, but take one from a student and it was not always a Selmer. His timbre was simply incredible, also the vibrato does not sound exactly at it did in real. Even his best students felt very small playing after him. I am in the process of recording a video, which will be published on my new website, in about one month’s, where I will speak about my experience with this great virtuoso and teacher. I think only survivors as Jean-Marie Londeix, Fred Hemke, Eugène Rousseau and myself can give the real dimension of Marcel Mule as a saxophonist and creator of playing this instrument in classical as well as in jazz style. Marcel Mule and Sigurd Rascher were the fathers of modern saxophone playing they were both great players and made enormous contribution, but Marcel Mule had a natural talent, which has never been reached by any player until today.

Wow, thank you. However, please dispense with the processing in the future. It is making artifact noise (noise resulting from the noise removal processing) that is distracting from this precious music.
Only one thing to say: The Greatest of saxofonist!..
