sax player @ central park

[ThomasC1222]

He's playing a Paris Selmer Mark VI, I'm born and raised in Brooklyn NY and there many great musicians in NYC.

There was an 11 year asian girl playing violin on the corner of 5th Ave and 42nd St. with her mother sitting there next to her right her next to the library and someone stuck in traffic was listening to her performance and week later, this little girl was playing in Carnegie Hall, right place, right time .....

All the best and thanks for posting this clip .... Peace~

Get him a gig! lol

[InBy9OutBy5]

It's hard to play in the cold, and harder with full gloves on. I couldn't do it.

[2259269587]

Anyone recognize the song? It is "All of Me" and I think anyone playing in the freezing cold, must be putting "All of Me" out there! Just saying! (The latest "buzz" phrase) He is playing on an Otto Link Jazz mouthpiece (probably a "New York" Link). Looks like he is playing an old Conn Tenor. What do you observe? Why would someone do this? Makes you wonder. Expression is a good thing! Nice Jazz sound!

@2259269587 Hey, thanks for your comment. I wish I could give all this positive feedback to the artist, but I was just visiting NYC. Thanks a lot, man!

[Jazzsaxman1]

He plays "all of me" at 1:40 lol He might have been blowing over those changes the whole time, idk lol

[Jazzsaxman1]

This guy is actually good lol

[pierresplace]

Let me tell you guys something about musicians like this on the streets of NY, of which I am native born. They ARE pros! These are people that do gigs at night, open mics where they sit in, and so studio work as well. Every little bit helps and that's free advertising he's doing plus making tips.

[dhans59h]

I miss my tenor so much!! :( I had to sell it to pay rent about 8 years ago and couldn't get it back... worst dec of my life. I regret it every day.

So impressed he could play that well with gloves on. Even if they're thin, they still affect how you can feel the keys and the sax responding to your fingers. Great upload...

(And great shot of the chick in the back LMAO!!)

[tchago]

Thanks for the attention! :)

I feel bad about your sax and rend. It sure was painful. Hope you can get your sax back soon!

I had a camera on too, we were taking beautiful shots!

[nguyenanhpiano]

very good saxo

[EwiekeuKlavier]

Did you ask him his mouthpiece setup? Lol :D That guy is crazy

[saxman1vl]

ohhh, i thought that was snowon the floor, but in the other video you could see it right

[einsteinian]

I sure hope that everyone who took photos and video of him at the very least put a bill in the mans case. Its nice to marvel at him but its even better to pay him for his efforts. Nice video.

[tchago]

I did. ;)

[1234Jesus1234]

what is he doing on the streets?

[joesaxophon]

BRAVO SAXOPHONISTA. BRAVO! Un abracio musicale da Napoli.

[Saxophonic]

i live in london i'm 16 and i've been playing sax for a year, but i would love to play saxophone in central park at least once in my life, the atmosphere looks great.

[jazzinjj]

The guy is good man....good!! no work out there!!!!

[gsaxita]

HAHAAHA the to guy with camera go away with out give to him money :) sad peaple

[danielwaynehernandez]

i think that he should be playing the alto or the soprano, not the tenor.

[FLsaxman007]

whats wrong with tenor??

[utfan781]

tenor is where its at

check out lenny picket, chris potter, michael brecker

the list goes on and on

[Saxophonic]

kenny g might be making money but for the wrong reasons

[PrimaryFunctions]

Kenny G doesn't play jazz, nor does he claim to. He is, however, the highest paid saxophonist ever. So, he must be doing something right. Jazz couldn't make him any money, although his old jazz stuff is pretty good. He used to play tenor. He inspired me to pick up a sax. He is a legend.

[Saxmaster1230]

he still does play tenor on his records and at his concerts, but he can play real jazz but it doesnt make him any money like you said

[fermatajazz]

Good chops Thats the song; All of me  positiveg17

[positiveg17]

thanks

[cnelson90]

what song is that?

[boung33]

all of me , c'est All of me et bravo à ce monsieur

[joetighe]

wow...this guy is great....so damn great and I dont recognize him....another unknown sax soldier.

[positiveg17]

awesome! too bad Kenny G gets so much attention when there are real jazz musicians out there unknown. Anyone know what song this is?

[Alphamale69]

man, i don't see how he can play in that cold weather. i hope that heifer did give him some money. who knows, she might have layed him later that night.

[tchago]

ahahhaahhahahahahaahahahha

who knows?

[musicnotes1]

ya if u take his pic u should at least put some money in his case. man he is good. to me some of the people on the streets play just as good as pros do.

[tchago]

of course i did, and yeah, he sounded like a pro

[jazzcat87]

[sirnose713]
