Harlem Nocturne (cover by The Shades Band)

[Duirate]

SHADES, this is amazingly fine! Can u do it again and stretch it so that the guitar player can pic out a couple verses? I keep waitin' for him to open up on the sucka but he never do!

[evilhunter55]

best version of the song that i've heard so far...nobody's got the soul like you guys

best version of the song that i've heard so far

[JoeyJoelBand]

I had the pleasure of working with Bobby Keys some years ago. I think he would really like this sax player. Tone, dynamics, emotional content and feel... Geez that is about as High a compliment as I can give.

Absolutely first rate performance all around. The Guitar player really made that part sing just beautifully. The entire Band, first rate performance. I find it, inspiring.

[senggedorje]

Great job! Thats was really wonderful.

[flooflox]

Wow! Great rendition!

[east215]

I like the slow tempo. Many artists play it too fast and with too little emphasis on the sax. The sax really drives the song.

[resqume853]

screw sjtom57 be proud of the flag any way you feel the need.....this is one of the best kick ass songs ever, incredible beat and feeling the origional is good but this version tops it all!!!!!

[THESHADESONLINE]

@resqume853 THANK YOU - GLAD YOU ENJOYED THE SONG.

[sjtom57]

Great tune. But wearing the American flag as a shirt or uniform or whatever is very disrespectful. Just look up flag etiquette and you'll see.

[Snoohi1]

[ModernSaxDotCom]

[neilnotneal]

This is by far my favourite version of this tune on YouTube, jazzy but still full of soul AND at the right tempo for my liking! A job well done!!

[THESHADESONLINE]

Thank you for your comment.

[ladybren880]

I liked the guy walking in front of the camera, half way thru the video!! Just kidding.......The Shades are an awesome band and Big Al is a GREAT sax player. He delivers a great sound here and in many of the songs. Hope to see you guys around soon.

Reminds me of the old donut shop on Monroe and Columbia Pike late at night. I was a squirt back.

Have been listening to it most of the day. I type in Harlem Nocturne and 299 show up. What's cool: 8th grade bands, HS bands, college bands, even senior bands. Old Musicians never die - they just decompose. lol ;-}
