Misty

[nckdgmzsax]

There are so many people on youtube utterly disgracing this tune. How refreshing to hear someone convince me once again of its beauty.

[luksaxtenor]

Class... Over the top!!!! Sheer beauty... So in style!

[MrSophiticated]

Exquisite !



[juillet64]

You are wonderful!

Hail the King.......

[zootsum]

THIS IS THE BUISSNESS.......CLASS

[mattissurf]

I have just started playing the tenor saxophone after having played the clarinet for years (as an amateur). I'm looking for some inspiration, and I sure found one - right here. Stan Getz and Ben Webster might just go home - if they could. This is how a tenor saxophone should sound. Congrats from Norway.

[TURBOPIGEUR]

tres bon son bravo yann.

[saxtabe01]

I like it the best!!



[leonardomarinosax]

This is the right way to play an instrument!

(E' il modo con il quale si dovrebbe suonare un sax!!!)

[lobohombo123]

excelente ejecucuin MAESTRO



[hottsaxman]

Dear Mr. Graves, I think you are a wonderful player. Could you please let me know what background music set up that you're using while doing your video performance? I would like to stay in touch. Winfield Gaylor My channel is Hottsaxman on You Tube.

[dinocostable1]

L'essenza del suono unito ad una tecnica ineccepibile ma sopratutto tanto cuore,cosa dire....Stupenda interpretazione!

[L7788Hernandez1]

Great job man love the sound. loved your playing! great job

[ADBRAGA]

Great! For me that I am beginning, it is a great inspiration. Congratulations! It forgives the English poor person, I am Brazilian

[liberguty]

oh man you play real great thats very awsome your sound. thats what I call jazz is the most great lovley genere of music 10 stars to you

[ARAYHER]

Mr Graves How are you doing? My most favorite sax player on YOUTUBE... for a long time. I listen to you when I want to get inspired. Love it!!!!

[mallund]

Wow - very nice. I hear some licks that are similar to Dexter Gordon's "You've Changed". Do you know the song?

[jamkirton]

beautiful, beautiful sound. Thank you.

[missingimprovisation]

His "setup" is a ton of talent, and dozens of years of dedication. Aubra, you sound amazing on everything I hear!  But FWIW, I like you best on the Conn and the Link.

[leefowler]

It's been said already. Bravo and a encore. SUPER!!!!!!!!

[MrSlomar]

My dear man

After trawling through the utter trash in connection with sax and sax players it is nothing short of bliss to come accross your videos and to hear a pro at work. May God grant you many many more years of giving people like me the pleasure of your skills!

[warri1000]

if you asked Aubra what mouthpiece he uses i am sure he will tell you no matter what mouthpiece he uses he will come back to that amazing sound on any one of them .So take note all you budding sax players out there your mouth is your tone chamber not your mouthpiece.So dont go wasting money on all different mouthpieces. Graham MALTA.

[sopranojoe11]

@warri1000 Excellent point! Thanks for the tip. So many new sax players have this idea in their heads that the sound is all about the mouthpiece, and it is not. Once again, thanks for reminding all of us this important message.

[efitzpat2011]

@sopranojoe11 although it definitely makes the difference once you hit that level

[hxosjazznick]

beautiful.......great........

[juanbermi]

muy bueno, !!!

[Kidd2Nowitzki41]

you made my 4:48 time very happy.

[zbalder14]

this is absolutely amazing....

[silverlions6]

great

[silverlions6]

Sir:

Right now it's 3:30 in the morning and I am sitting in my room in Afghanistan. I have been trying to learn the tenor saxophone forever and I must tell you that you are amazing. Thanks for making what seems like a terrible time here sound as if I'm so close to heaven when I close my eyes - Always Silverlions6

[cygnetdoc]

utter genius .. nothing more need be said

[gladsaxisme]

well that was absolutely brilliant but just one thing! can you try not to make it look so damned easy when it's so hard to do that, thanks a real WOW!

[gsoccer2004]

Great Job Aubra! AMAZING VERSION. Reminiscent of better times!

:D

[sopranosaxophonist]

Would you please to tell me how many years have you played saxophone?

[francopich]

que fenomeno! la hace parecer facil y todo.

genio absoluto, que sonido!

[hece155]

Mr Gaves, definitivamente Ud. es un verdadero saxofonista, se ha convertido para mi, la inspiración y solo deseo que me alcance la vida no para imitarlo sino para escucharlo. De todas sus interpretaciones ninguna, ninguna es desagradable, al contrario escucharlo es relajante. Espero que El Todo Poderoso nos lo tenga por mucho tiempo, además escuchando más de sus interpretaciones.

[avidal09]

OLE,OLE Y OLE,Felicidades,si señor toca usted como un maestro,

me ha encantado. Saludos

[filmmakerboy]

Mr Graves you're a great musician, great sound, thanks you for posting your videos

delle sue performances,che mettono in risalto la sua bravura e duttilità musicale e so

pratutto aggiunge,se mai ve ne era bisogno,una ulteriore riprova che il sax tenore è lo

[chinagermany]

Absolutely beautiful. Actually no words can describe the level of this performance of a real, great artist.

[Garraliposker]

Amazing. Marvellous. Superb. I love this playing.

[saviesax]

[MAnuciao79]

Left a videoreply.

Greetings from germany

Manuciao

[rfedson]

All, I just played a gig with Aubra last weekend. He's the real deal alright. Sounded great!, and we threw a lot of things at him that he hasn't done here. Wonderful man too. 5 stars!! We should all be able to play like this at 82, yes, 82.

[41conn]

When he started on Youtube I think he was 82. He'll be 85 next month. Thanks for keeping him playing with good players!

[juancamore]

beautiful sound, Master, congratulations, Thanks for that song, warms my life

[rpcolomer]

muy bueno gran talento, que saxo es? is it a buffet? the mouthpiece is it Otto link'? gracias por tu musica regards

[HawaiianTenor]

wow nice tone! :D you sound beautiful, you should record this on a cd cause i would buy it!

[saxagain]

Vous avez vraiment beaucoup de talent et c'est vraiment un régal de vous écouter.

[Zat01ch1]

I'm pretty sure he's using Jamie Aebersold's play-alongs. I use em to, you can't get better backing tracks for jazz. Aubra, you sound amazing and are a great inspiration for me! Keep it up!

[HawaiianTenor]

haha well some aebersolds could be a little...well better haha they are great but all the ones the rythm section just starts rushing and then it gets to the point where you wonder why its so hard to improvise and i would start the track over and couldnt believe how much slower it was before haha not all of them rush but most of the ones i have played have

[yunyonghan]

Is that "Alto? tenor? saxophone".which one? plz reply....

[Shenanigns]

Where did you get the backing track from this song?

[marisol730730]

You play with good taste and the right notes !!!! Congratulation.... who are you ?? Wich sax and mouthpiece and reed do you have ? Give me your email pls .. Marisa

[marrano123456]

Marisol, por su comentario cualquier diría que es poco menos que Anat Cohen...si cantara al menos la mitad que Rita Pavone, todavia...pero he visto su video y...la verdad que a ud si que le falta bastante estudio, pero sobre todo, talento. Este SEÑOR MUSICO, no toca simplemente "the right notes", sencillamente está haciendo música, y de una manera brillante. Lo suyo es ARTE puro, musicalidad al 100%. Hay que saber ubicarse

[FightingTheWitness]

i really really enjoy your playing. what's a suggestion you would give for getting that thick rich warm vibrato

[iSax1234]

wow i like this like the subtone feel, i thought you were playing a dukoff its just got the sound but its great! BTW I seen your playing with an otto link. I'm assuming your using windows to record..due to the windows movie maker beginning. What are using to record? Software and hardware?

[Yosodarmo]

Mr Graves, I enjoy your wonderful interpretations, thank you.

warm regards

Yosodarmo - Indonesia

[saxaltotenor]

muito bom adorei a a suavidade dos graves comecei a estudar o sax tenor tem pouco tempo mas um dia chego nesse nivel parabens assisto todos os dias

[iranbernardes]

Two thumbs up for you!

[DangerousParadox]

Amazing ballad tone. Keep up the good work.

[DangerousParadox]

By the way do you have a cd out or something?

[catandpiddle]

wonderful!

[neohtel]

Mister Graves, I salute you.

[hitmanisbackmk2]

that is the way you play a sax top superb fantastic

[hece155]

Definitivamente es lo mejor que he visto, es todo un maestro de maestros e intérprete del saxo tenor y alto todo un caballero, un inmenso abrazo al señor Aubra graves y a you tube por darnos el privilegio de verlo y escucharlo.

[SPARKLINGSERVICE]

Mr Graves,

I would like you to know that I really enjoy listening to your interpretations of these classics.

If you find time in your busy work schedule perhaps you could add Night and Day, or Girl from Impanema to your playlist.

I hope you are in good health.

Best Regards

[hece155]

Totalmente de acuerdo con Ud.

[kroniquedubaboo]

[guerillas1]

hi! Could you please tell me what tenor sax and mouthpiece do you use? the sound is awesome! thanks in advance

[jazzsaxtenor]

I am playing a selmer Mk V11 (seven) very early ser. no. 242--- has all of the eng. etc. My mouthpiece is a New York 7* otto Link. Thanks for listening. A.Graves

[bernodevous7]

mr. Graves have you done any recording??

[altojohnny]

Hi from scotland, your playing is inspiring and I have played on and off for the last thirty odd years, I would be glad to just listen to you for the next thirty! what a player I wish I had your knowledge and your tone. live for evever and keep playing!!

[acleimusica]

that's awesome!! may I know your father's sax setup? (mpc, reed, lig)

thx

[mnose]

Hello Mr. Graves.

You're great.

We can feel the love for music and for Jazz coming out of that horn. Dexter and Bird are very present in your playing. You must have incredible stories to tell in such a long career.Keep telling us your stories. But please forget that reverb. It kills your lovely tone. You sound so much greater - and truer- with no electronic effects.

Much respect from Portugal

José

[hitmanisback]

amazing nuff said

[bigsaxman]

I've watched this five times and I'm beginning to get tears in my eyes, it is that good. I am so completely impressed that I do get misty.

[ulrichhoebler]

I agree with the others. This is one more little masterpiece from you! The full tone, the sense of direction, the elegance of the melodic ideas - all this is extraordinary.

Thank you for the music, Mr Graves!

Ulrich Höbler

[bigsaxman]

I still say:

You are the greatest, Mr. Graves.

Absolutely flawless, supreme, perfection!

With great respect,

Mike

[uribengal]

Hi,

I really admire your father's playing. Do you know the mouthpiece he used on the tune "Nancy"(it was silver-colored metal)? I thought his tone on that tune was really exceptional. Thanks.

uribengal

[uribengal]

Hi,

I really admire your father's playing. I especially enjoyed the tone of his alto ( a hard tone) on the tune "Nancy". Do you know the type of mouthpiece he used there (it was silver looking)? Thanks.
