[maidenforever666]

hey im just starting to play saxophone and i was wondering what would be a nice jazz saxophone, yours sounds smooth but is that because of your playing or the instrument itself, i like to play blues and jazz on my guitar and i want to do the same on sax any tips. By the way those 4 dislikes are from deff people

[gcornielje]

Nice sound and style reminds me a lot of Getz!!

De inglés algo pero lo que quiero manifestarle es que su interpretacion del saxo es muy interesante,es muy agradable escucharlo, mil felicidades.

Hello Matthew,

I'm french and I like your way of playing sax !

Please, go and see "STAN GETZ COMMUNITY" a special web site dedicate to Stan Getz ...I add on this site your video "THE GIRL OF IPANEMA"...I think you must enlist yourself in this good site...you will know why when you will do it ( Like that I could make you playing in Monaco and the French Riviera)!

I'm very pleased to ear you! Gérard

[Jazzsaxman1]

Very nice...However I like your sound on your new JJ HR* piece better...Keepp it up.

:)

[loganeski]

I love your version of Autumn in NY and would like to use it in my amateur video I made of a ride to see the foliage in upstate New York.

[crazydaisydoo]

No problem, i'm flattered, send me your email address and I mail you an mp3

[dragoneyes8888]

hey im trying to learn my songs so i can get gigs the only song i know so far is on green dolphin street. i am working on that song

[drgrl]

You can't beat the sax for that smoky, langorous tone that is so evocative. Very nice, I could listen all day.

[mandolaman12]

Beautiful way to go out of 2007!

[Teltsa]

You play a smooth Sax, I love your style, thank you for posting it, your worth spending my evenings listening to..

[Troydiedwardo]

you have a really smooth sound. you should throw some longer moving phrases in there. just a suggestion

[MDsaxguy103]

hey i love your sound...what sax/mouthpiece/ligature/reed do you use?...great playing keep it up!

[crazydaisydoo]

Thanks, my set up on this is simple. An otto link 5* HR with a cheapo metal lig, and a rico royal 3. It is great for ballads like this, but playing out it is little too soft sounding, so I have just changed to a Otto Link 7* STM NY, and gone down to a 2.5 reed. Gives me a bit more edge

[blu242424]

stan getz plays a beautiful version of this with woody herman

[Zorgorath]

Wow! You play with so much feeling, that I just dreamed away while listening! Great job!

[IsDaBlues]

"Stan" lives!

Very nice interpretation. I've only listened to it 4 times in a row now. :)

What's your setup? (sax/mpc/reed/mic). What software are you using to edit video/audio?

[Chordwayze]

Totally agree with Laurence... Just the right mood, a result of fine playing. Nice one Matthew. I am trying to master this melody myself for a solo! Hmmmm!

Thanks for this.

John

[Aitsch2Be]

I must say, I'm very much impressed.

Wonderful tune. Wished I'd play (any) instrument like that.

Thx a lot for this !!!

[kzm25697]

very lyrical deccription.

[crazydaisydoo]

Thanks, I always play as if I am singing, it is a simple technique, but it works. I kind of sing it in my head as I play, if that make sense. Happy New Year!

[saxophonedave]

Great Playing! I really like your approach to playing, I believe that is similar as to how the greats intepreted the music, through song and singing! Very Cool! Check out my accapella version, I like yours better!

[ulrichhoebler]

An enchanting interpretation of this wonderful song, Matthew. I always associate it with the great Billie Holiday - who does not? - and with its twin, "One For My Baby", also done by Lady Day. I can only say you're on the right road, going in the right direction: Your tenor playing is absolutely confident and convincing and conveys the atmosphere desertlight describes.

[crazydaisydoo]

Interesting, this song was new to me, so due to my terrible dot reading, I listened to a version I had by Mel Torme. I often use his recordings as he has a pure and simple approach. I have just listened to Lady Day's, wow! Thanks for the suggestion

[desertlight]

Very night life sounding. I can see the patrons hunched over drinks re-living morose bittersweet memories. Then the music picks up tempo and brightness. This is really beautiful, Matthew.

[crazydaisydoo]

Thanks Laurence, kind words, it was exactly what I was trying to achieve....
