Kirk Whalum performs I Will Always Love You

[bonjour100]

I'm confused. When he is talking about the sharp note, is he talking about the actual released studio version, or the version that is in the ending of the film?

[Chosenoneization]

Great story! Thanks for Sharing Kirk!

[DavidGuilmourBS]

Antídoto para Justin Bieber...

[Torradadd]

does anyone know where the original recording is? the one Kirk is referring to

[SingDriver101]

@Torradadd That's the official song itself, that's what he just said. It was a straight rough cut.

[straussd]

[tobeydicaprio]

lol. David you should get a studio band and also get a singer. Love Whitney! Props to er for her loyalty to her band and props to Clive for sticking with her.

[eldridgehenry2]

very informative

[titus120]

He is awesome, but I still think that this piece will sound better with a tenor saxophone. I just think that a soprano is too high.

[MrRelax3737]

Kirk you are the Best ! What a warm sense of melody. Your style is sooooo Hip !

Thanks Brother ....Doug G. in LV

[WH012]

what are you guys talking about? Kirk Whalem is an excellent speaker. and that information he gave us was vital and rare. I enjoyed the story more than his playing. not taking away from his playing which was awesome. the one and only Kirk Whalem.

[aFightingChristian]

dont talk,play sax.

[bleuivy]

Love you, Kirk!

[sopranosaxophonist]

bRIGHT or dark tone mainly come from the concept of a saxophonist.If he doesn't like so bright tone,it really doesn't matter. So David Sanborn, Paul Desmond are great in different aspects in terms of tone quality but still sound excellent.

[saxzappia]

bla bla bla...ok? just play

[Gessylord]

KIRK FOREVER

[improm2u]

All day Kirk.

[jamaicanballer]

After watching this vid, I am wondering how he has such a unique sound on soprano. I know everybody has a unique tone, but they tend have that oboe sound. Unlike most soprano saxophonist he doesn't have much of a bright (oboe sound) on soprano.

[Blackpairable]

He's playing in the low notes on the soprano sax, which gives it a rather dull tone.

[Americanjazzlady]

This man is not only a great sax player, but a wonderful man of GOD who has such love in him. Check out his website where he reads the Bible every day.

[customz]

wow!!!!!!!!!!

[michaelteter]

I _really_ like hearing his back story at the beginning here. For those of us with no professional experience, it's very enlightening.

[klarinetta]

I saw a lesson clip from Cannonbal sax with him and he impressed me a lot as he could be a great teacher.

[fliptojazz]

kirk is one of the greatest on the sax i love your jazz God bless you

[Americanjazzlady]

I love this song. It still makes me cry and I love that movie too!! God bless you Kirk.

I forgot.....David Foster is a musical genius. GOD BLESS HIM TOO!!!!

[udomma1]
