[jazzmanzoot]

Lets Hope the Man grows into his Hat, in more ways than One.

Go Isaiah, Lester Young is routing for ya !

[30303018]

It is ok. i mean if he played a more intresting song. I can play sax. It is an aazing instrument. Type in "10 year old playing saxaphone" then u will see me.

[bielsk8sax]

[radrayrush]

[poptart0420]

yeah, ok, but like i could do that when i was 8 lol, i am more curious about the old bari player in the back

[divavommainever]

wow good sound but its not soo really complicated but he will be a good saxophonist

[frankwilliams977]

Thanks for the comment, he was only 8 years old at the time and had only picked up the Sax 12 weeks prior to this rendition of Just in time. had had never played an instrument before or read any music so as a father i was impressed to the point that I wanted to share it with everyone in Youtube land.

[salynredoran]

well, nice job Dad. Keep him motivated. He's great!

[frankwilliams977]

Thank you very much!!!

[IamAWSM]

[Shialuk]

[babyboo025]

thats how my tenor looks on me :)

aww he's soo cutee!! lol

he's gunna be greatttt when he's olderr!!

[frizzzzzzal]

If he can play like this at 8 I would love to see him in 20 some odd years when he gets crazy good

[robbertzzzzz]

Too bad his sax is just just out of pitch. Nice playing and timing, especially for someone that age, but his sax should be a tiny little bit down...

[frankwilliams977]

thanks for the comment

[Timovich666]

yup youre right slightly false sometimes but further a good job for a kid his age

[Famuboy2007]

agreed about the tuning.......but hes good for his age

[xxkilla59xx]

dude i want that outfit its looks so coooool!

[LRobbie03]

@xxkilla59xx i want his hat!!

[Frizzyjack]

@xxkilla59xx He's a sooouuull maaaan~ haha. He's good for his age O.o

[darianpopman]

@xxkilla59xx looks like fitty cent

[JazzyBlues804]

Great job buddy! Keep up the good work. You will go far as long as music stays a passion, and not a chore.

[SakuraShinobi5]

[hallalison1]

[haypenny]

[pkak333]

god job

[frankwilliams977]

Thanks

[L3G3nD0001]

Think you can play some sad song?

Or Military TAPS (There's an alternative version script rewritten from the trumpet for saxophones)

[frankwilliams977]

A Big thanks to all of you that have made comments thank you all very much

[KGMarking]

Wow. I am very jealous. This kid plays some great whole, half, and quarter notes!

Pathetic.

[arakami]

Hey, you need to stop being such an asshole.

He's an 8 year old boy, dont take anything out on his playing just because your playing sucks at an older age.

[raulzzd3]

i dont think hes calling him pathetic i think hes calling himself that, cuz look, he sed he was jealous

[KGMarking]

Wow, you guys are retards.

[gamesfreak0]

wow dude i use to go to basketball with you and your cusion that performance blew me away!

[MyCh3micalR0mance365]

Wow very nice

[latefahsimmons]

THAT IS HOT KEEP IT UP YOURE GREAT

[Bruniinhoo95]

Not is totally good, but is more or less...

[saxysam]

I wish i was dthat good at that age, heck I wasn't even playing yet!! awesome.

[dogfry5d1]

good. but get more into the jazz rythum

[gfs2509]

Good kid!

[sophisrock8]

keep it up kid tht wut i say

[kungfukae]

Mad props.

[flinty2006]

That kids ACE!

I envy him :)

[tdogmaddog]

i think it's fake or this kid is god

[frankwilliams977]

its not fake

[aaldredge]

No, it's totally believable that this playing. All he is doing is playing the head. Not bad for an eight year old but doable.

[LightWingX]

A few times it sounded like he missed a note but other than that he sounds like an A+ Alto player!

Bet he's gonna be pure pwnage when he becomes an adult xD

[honkysaxophone]

aww i love his little outfit :)

[JayyRod]

8 years old ! that kid is amazing ! , the only problem was that his sax prob wasn't tuned but he got the notes and sounded great ! good job dude

[meamfood]

ughhh pretty bad i know hes 8... but hes probably been playing longer than me. and im waaay better than that. oh and by the way ive been playing for a year and im 13.

[frankwilliams977]

Isaiah was only 8 went this video was posted and he had only began to learn the saxophone 12 weeks before this video was posted he is now 9 years old and is way better than this now.

[meamfood]

i didnt realize that he was playing for 12 weeks my bad. didn't mean to be a dick

[tdogmaddog]

listen man this sh^* is fake

[turtleonlsd]

well I it isn't allways the time you've played an instrument that matters sommetimes it's age or it's learning capability but if this kid has been playing for only 12 weeks I salute him for being

brave enough to play infront of that many people.

[saxolady]

Wow! this is the beginning of the next cannonball!!

[libbyrose1995]

it looks fake.

[arabano23]

hehe, if it's real then amazing :D

[prophysys]

holy cow his GOOOD and i mean he has talent....wow his amazing lol but i pity him...he's kinda small in size and the saxophones almost half the size of his body lool seems to have problem reaching the keys with his right hand but good job anyway carry on this and u may become the next kenny G

[yomammy92]

i wish i got to play with bands at 8, i wasnt playin the sax till 10 or 11, but still. the world needs more sax players. good job kid.

[kjoproductions24]

Some people have it and some just don't.... this kid has definatley got it!!! I've been playing sax about 5 years now loved every minute I hope he continues playing... GREAT job!!!! *applause*

[Zeltrax11]

Needs to hold up the sax... Has lots of potential!

[Xulld00]

3 months at 8 awesome!

[frankwilliams977]

Thanks for the comment

[ckala13]

I'll give him credit for taking up an instrument like the alto sax, but jeez his notes were flat or sharp most of the time. Still, he is quite brave to being playing in front of such a huge crowd.

[frankwilliams977]

he has never had any sort of music lesson prior to 3 months (12 weeks) before he did this event. as a matter of fact he only picked up the sax three months before this so as his father I am very proud of his accomplishment

[andwii]

hummm... out of tune, but for his age, im threatened

[frankwilliams977]

he has never had any sort of music lesson prior to 3 months (12 weeks) before he did this event. as a matter of fact he only picked up the sax three months before this so as his father I am very proud of his accomplishment

[tarikmckeython]

control??????

[pooprscupr]

lol the next james carter

[tarikmckeython]

he should have played a one of those curved sapranos

they look tight and they are good for younger players

[aaronwithajewfro]

Soprano is way more difficult to control than alto as a beginner, so it's really easier to play alto.

[tarikmckeython]

control??

[frankwilliams977]

i aggree

[ashely470]

that is freakin serious right there. thats an easy song. but he killled it good job

[frankwilliams977]

thanks man

[abcdmybutt]

he is good, but i was laughing at how big the alto is compared to him. nice video. i love the sax, i play bari and alto, i want to try soprano and tenor

[femaletenorsax]

Tenor rocks! I love it! I would like to try alto, though.

[bLuEnOsEbLeEd]

yay, out of tune whole notes, just cuz hes young doesnt make him so good...hes good but...damn

[vuckovicflux]

You don't do better!

He's Fantastic, Very Well!

Imagine when he is with 20 years old.

Here Speaks a Brazilian.

THE BEST IN MUSIC!

[frankwilliams977]

Congratulations!! =)

I am from chile

[frankwilliams977]

Thank you

[penndude92]

nice job kid...keep practicing

[NahTekNuhCheck]

Honestly ... that is talent, and at 8 years old? I know many older people would have to step back ... if I'm fortunate to see him in a few years time, I know I'll be seeing someone who will be able to knock x-amount of saxophonists out of their socks ...

Keep it up Isiah, keep it up...

[frankwilliams977]

Thank you

[radensaufi]

Born to be a Blues Man

[Smittastic]

He needs to work on intonation, but he's better than 90% of the high school saxes I've met xD

[saxingenio]

very nice, grand tone in the alto sax, good rithmic, Bravissimo!

[Ranard1]

i feel bad watching this a 8 year old playing almost over me

[JPSaxMan]

lol

[sa8vsaxman]

natural!

[SteelersR1]

he'll be amazing when he goes to college (he might not have to with his talent.) it's a good thing he's getting used to crowds at an early age.

[10303090103]

good job just imagine when he is 13 he'll be in the jazz band
