[wawbidaf]

This is unbelievable. Beyond my imagination. Respect!

BTW, thank you for your referral to the Brubeck's version. I didn't know that while it's definately worth listening to.

[madmusicianmax]

wow! this sounds like an organ or like an accordion, almost like a piece of bach. it's soothing in a way. i really like it.

[davidpockettrpt]

O Saxophone, O Saxophone!!! Wonderful Holiday music, w/out the usual crap heard on FM radio....

[CooolJazzz]

Thank you very much, David.

[davidpockettrpt]

A pleasure to compliment your lovely and timely music, Saxboy. Keep 'em comin'!!!

[Saxyboy90]

I always enjoy your Christmas tunes. They always put me in a good mood for the holidays. Hoping to hear more!

[CooolJazzz]

Thanks, Saxyboy. I'm hoping there will be more too. I just have to wait for the inspiration to find me.

[Petraworld]

Divine, my friend! Simply, divine!

[CooolJazzz]

Thank you, Petra... :-)

[manulitodos]

Best wishes from germany

Manuel

[CooolJazzz]

Thank you very much, Manuel.

I sympathize with you about the 6 hours a day of Christmas music, but at least it's a job...and a rewarding one hopefully...right?

Cheers!

[JeffG111]

Wow, another beautiful one! Your tuning is so spot on that I first thought it was a MIDI file. You're gonna need to slip up a little so we know you are human. :) Just kidding. Great job. Great arrangement! Thanks again for sharing!

[CooolJazzz]

Thanks, Jeff. I've been accused more than once of my saxophones being MIDI's. I'm starting to take it as a compliment in a weird sort of way...*laugh*

[JeffG111]

Haha. As far as I'm concerned it is definitely meant as a compliment, not because that was your desire to sound like a MIDI file, but because you are in a very small group of musicians who is accurate enough to be mistaken for a computer! :)

[ANTONIVSLVCIVS]

Joseph, my friend 5*****

Your virtual orchestra is fantastic!!! I like your arrangements very much. I prefer your music, instead of the traditional one.

Thank you so much.

Antonio

[CooolJazzz]

Thank you, Antonio.

I have to give Brubeck the credit for the musical interpretation on this one, but I did put a lot of work into adapting it for saxophone ensemble. I was happy with the results though, and I can't always say that. (I'm my own worst critic sometimes).

I'm glad you enjoyed it, my friend. I hope all is well for you and yours.

[vibeman27]

tHAT IS VERY VERY NICE AND SOOTHING. ESPECIALLY THIS MORNING.  :-)

[CooolJazzz]

Thank you very much, Bruce.

I've been thinking about you lately. I hope things are going okay.

[vibeman27]

Actually doing pretty well. In my 6th week of recovery and almost there. Last catheter removed and making normal adjustments. Next will be exercising and regaining my strength so I can resume practicing. :-)

[ProfessorTrevor]

Never ceases to amaze me. Sounds spectacular. Great intonation too otherwise it wouldn't work, and we ALL know how hard it is to keep good intonation with that instrument.

[CooolJazzz]

Thanks, Professor. I try not to ask too much of myself these days, but the day that I can no longer play in tune is the day that I'll give it up for good. A lot of things can be forgiven when it comes to music, but poor intonation isn't one of them, so thanks for noticing. ~smile~

[crazydaisydoo]

Hi CJ, I second the sound quality issues here on youtube, I even "mix" to suit it (it is free though and a GREAT resource) This sounds great even here though, which is a testament to your arrangement and playing. 5 stars without doubt

[CooolJazzz]

Thanks, Matt. Depending on how it's uploaded, the &fmt=18 extension sometimes gives a decent stereo result, but in this case the youtube compression made the &fmt=18 version really terrible so the basic mono version is actually better. Instead of improving, youtube's compression methods just get worse and worse. I'm sure I'd get better results if I had a real microphone to work with instead of this cheap computer voice mic, but I really shouldn't complain considering that it was under $20.
