Unknown Saxophonist

[jovesheerwater]

What a tone!! Live long brother. When you see street musicians people, stop, listen, give some money!!!

[buru44]

Damn he's good.

[Bergunthera]

Really, really annoying sound.

[lanapree]

Aside from the ignorant morons who post stupid sh*t, this man, no matter if he's poor, is someone who has taken the time to learn how to play well. God has to be disgusted with some of the nasty and insolent people in this world. Bless you brother and play on!!!

[TalkToTheMac]

@lanapree only problem is that he sucks

[90rosilviu]

from the bottom of my hearth i thank you for posting this video..it doesn't matter if is a video camera or a mobile phone it's the feeling that counts..thx so much

[drissdesign]

Why the people plain and blaim the TV all the time and they hear many of talents on the street and they are laughing at them, and they vote to stupid singers. Those who playing on the street and homeless are tired of you because that they want just drink and playing.

[InsideDope]

Another clip of the same guy. Wondering if he's crippled in some manner as his feet are tucked in the same way in both clips and he seems to be relying on the garbage can for support.

It won't let me post a link, but the clip can be found under "Milan Saxophonist Does it"

[bdommel1779]

well.... hes no Bill Clinton

[missmuffin39]

wauw 0.o

[TheBlade9851]

shit out of luck when he breaks his reed

[kykyronin]

he plays so open...you can almost feel his pain...wish i knew who he was...and how the hell somebody who can play like this...does so in the streets ....ain't fare...

Is that a tango he's playing....but on a slower tempo ?Don't know..just asking

[blackgaara1]

@kykyronin It's a song by Luis Miguel, just can't remember which one.

[29sonrisa]

@blackgaara1 se llama historia de un amor..... es una cancion viejisima q muchos autores la interpretan . The name is "la historia de un amor" that song is very older

[blackgaara1]

@29sonrisa yup thats the one i'm thinking of, but luis was the first name to come to my mind related to this song.

[MegaCerfvolant]

combien on en voit des gens comme ça dans la rue qui on un talent et que personne ne regarde 

[SuperLiMoNN]

It is C-Melody saxophone.

[jeffreysyang]

sounds wonderful considering it was recorded from a cell phone from 4 years ago. wish I was there in person.

[tctaylor42]

The main goal for instrumentalists is to perfectly mimic the human voice.... And this saxophonist did such a good job in my opinion.

[0live0wire0]

@tctaylor42 well there could be many goals, possibilities are huge with an instrument.

[mannaufstahl]

In a world gone mad with corruption, violence, poverty, and endless war, something this beautiful can be found alongside a garbage can on a street. We don't need to look big for miracles or beauty. We just have to notice when they're around. One love, everyone.

[tonyoycee]

is good,and is playing a beautiful song:D

[himan12345678]

OMFG is he playing a C-melody sax!?

[ShinyToyGuns101]

He should be playing in a professional concert hall.

[TheDeathLovers]

al i can say is this........ it made me cry

[6Geronimo2]

Richtig guter Soul, 1AAA

[dangeova]

This is art... really

[Storbein]

if i ever came across this guy, id give whatever i could. but in my town we only got a guy playing on some sort of african drum with britney spears on a cdplayer in the background.

the saxophone is by far my favourite instrument on this planet, and this guy plays it with a passion.

[Leno1DAC]

@Storbein what about a piano?

[Storbein]

@Leno1DAC nononono.... the saxophone is by far the best sounding instrument, in my honest opinion, it is best played solo where other instruments dont ruin its beautiful sound.

[jessejdmarsh]

eleven people must be dumbasses

[thunderfoot43]

I'm not crying being the music is good....it's the dust in my eyes.....

[Habboboy1995]

Yall should check out my productions

[DVDKC]

what a sound...

[HotLicksSmoothJazz]

You can tell that hes a European without watching the video. He has that characteristic french vibrato which I despise.

[AlvisLiquid]

The song he's playing at the end is "Hopeinen kuu" or "Guarda che luna". Check it out!

[whatJAHbewatchin]

Did this guy memorize sheet music or is he just that Awesome

[Nonavaiable]

sorry disagreed amols with everyone... but this guy is not that good, and it doesn't sound that great! he's probably on the streets because he never wanted to be somewhere else!

[Rokmononov]

@Nonavaiable Obviously you don't play sax. Or have an ability to judge music. I mean, his tone is wonderful, the melody is great, there's obviously emotion in his playing. What else do you want?

[Nonavaiable]

@Rokmononov , this is my opinion... to guy that play on the streets is ok, maybe... but my conception of good music is way above wath this guy have to offer. If you want i can specify why i don't like. Emotion in music is not about the quantity of vibrato, it's to comunicate, and this guy is saying "feel sorry for me"... this is my opinion!

[Rokmononov]

@Nonavaiable Fair enough, I see your point. I still enjoy the music, even if it does seem tailored to evoke a little pity.

[d0ggelito]

FOREVER ALONE

[austinuh]

10 people...wow

[robin17171]

I would want to sit next to him and play along :) Truly amazing.

[kingsalasi]

no words

[MsDolphinBOY]

This is incredibly touching and beautiful. As i saxophonist myself, this is so inspiring as to what I want to sound like.

[flyingdutchman4444]

he should have millions

[artenjoy]

...life..

[floppyfeet426]

that what a crying soul must sound like. god he is amazing. it inspired me to work so much harder so someday maybe i can put that much of my being into playing.

[sentimentalement60]

Superbe et si triste à la fois .... Cet homme souffre , et il dégage une telle émotion à chaque notes qu'il joue ....

[nadavdvd]

whos the heartless people who can dislike this

[diabolique81]

Jak pory roku Vivaldiego... :)

[bboygerman]

anyone know the name of the song?

[TheMustyGina]

wow...why is he on the street?

[TavariusPhillips]

Excellent Vibrato!

(so sad though)

[rivercryforrain]

Priceless, he makes me cry... unbelievably tender...

Thank you for posting it...

violina

[FunkyChicken000]

the french or watever talking in the background makes it even more depressing

[brendaalbarran14]

look at all those people pass by with shopping bags of clothes or whatever, I'm sure they have at least some money to offer him-__-

[crunchanapple13]

Really good.

[aaronamccoy]

gypsy sounding, nice stuff..

[Humberto4790]

We need a better social saftey net to help out homeless people. Conservatives are too greedy and dumb to realise that we need a little bit more socialism.

[zaaz369]

@Humberto4790 this is not in the US, it's in Milan, Italy, genius.

[MiamiHurricaneBound]

True. Unlike rap, this is real talent. I wish I could play as good as him. Rappers don't even use instruments, OR their own voices! This ain't no autotune.

[rodson940]

A lonely soul, wich touches on sensitives souls. God bless you

From:Brazilian soul.

[jelloleggedjedi]

makes my lip quiver

[C46R1]

Shows what art really is :')

[Joybity]

lovely, very very lovely.

[xinx03ovcm]

It penetrates my soul!

[CBR6RR88]

can't agree enough with rickyg65, beautiful playing. Its a shame when truly talented artists get pushed to the side for people who are only good at promoting themselves.

[gregtron111]

cannot stand that vibrato though

[ikillyou72]

just sell the damn thing!

[PortCity7777]

What artistry, what humanity. He is an unsung voice of the human spirit. My prayer is that he will be showered with monetary tribute from all who hear him.

[aerostorm77]

so many pass by, blatently staring, and yet only a few have the heart to give. right here you have humanity at its highest: the ones giving and the sax player, and the lowest: those who pass by without a care. i hope this guy is off the streets by now, he's amazing :)

[rainbowmushtaches]

You can hear the passion and his soul that he puts into his music. This is true art and beauty.

[edstones888]

@rainbowmushtaches Some one can rise this man to concert pls?

[paulj0557]

I'm probably poorer than this guy, but I play a 400 pound organ, aw shit!

[SergioCabrialesJazz]

What a beautiful latin song...

``Historia de un Amor´´ (Story of a Love) is a bolero written in 1955 by the Panamanian author Carlos Eleta Almarán.

[MaGiCpEnGu1n]

@SergioCabrialesJazz That looks french to me?

[SergioCabrialesJazz]

@MaGiCpEnGu1n i don´t know if the guy is french, but the song is from Carlos Almarán, from Panama :D

[MaGiCpEnGu1n]

@SergioCabrialesJazz No i wasn't talking about the guy haha, The name of the song Historia de un amor looks and sounds french. Story of love

[itaisonzai]

i dont know why but this man's music really touched me deep inside

[miguelrasquinho]

Que fantástico!

Um dia tocarei assim :)

[gtfomybrbk]

its not fake -_- there's video lag you jealous douchebags.

[999liam9999]

Fake

[MrSitar18]

@999liam9999 cant be fake. it is recorded with older cell phone camera, where sound was faster than picture (you know, first cll phones with cameras were like that), you also can notice bad picture quality.

[SkinSkaHead]

1:33 FAKE!!

[Ubarin]

@SkinSkaHead Do you know what delay is ?? idiot...

[miphino]

You should have asked him for his name! This video could have made him famous. Now no one can really know who he is.

[wokima258]

Was für ein Fake!!! Der spielt nicht wirklich!!! Schaut euch das Video richtig an, dann werdet ihr es herausfinden.

[thesaxmk]

80 euro for this player on saxophone

[SocioSick]

A gypsy?



[MrBegginerSax]

This is great

[wisconsinkiste8]

@MrBegginerSax not really, it's just a bit like two weeks learned and then got the big chance^^

he's not really good...

[aliciacevalloss]

i'm inlove with this.. what's the name of whatever he play..... ?

[PhychoStylez]

@aliciacevalloss alto sax

[paddymaloney1]

sta' suonando Historia de un amor...

[MrSmiley2403]

PPL WALKING RIGHT PAST HIM WTF GIVE HIM MONEY HE IS A GREAT INSPIRATION !

[MrSmiley2403]

if i asw him i would give him money ppl !

near a trash can having not much money

WTF PPL

[Silveystep33]

Hello! My daughter plays the saxophone for about six years..she is quite good. Please check her out! Thank you so much! Her channel is silveystep33. We should have some videos up soon.

[DNAUFIERO]

@Silveystep33 Dont advertise on other peoples channels.

[swimmingmonky]

This guy is the best sax I have ever heard and he deserves better. He should be living the life of a king. Then again he is living his dream. He puts real feeling into his art that really moves people. Thank you for sharing your story

[MadnessSK206]

increible, si yo huviera estado alli le huviera dado un buen billete la verdad, excelente la melodia que interpreto, llega al alma facilmente ;)

[TheRocinka]

What World we live in....

Thank you for the video.

[tomting90]

telling a story.

[badboy1915]

@tomting90 Definitely telling a long sad story. Just beautifully played. I'm a big trance and hip hop lover but this is top class. This is another level. This is PURE talent.

[MMJ420Gardener]

he plays with his soul!....thats priceless which is why he is probably on the street :( so sad this was amazing

[rickyg65]

very sad, obviously a very talented musician living on the steet working for change. While the rap bands can't play instruments and make millions

[roberthennecke]

@rickyg65 you're telling it like it is. The harsh reality is that music began going downhill big time after the end of the 80's. Too formulaic.

[Templarone1]

@rickyg65

You are absolutely right !!!

[sbwrestler95]

@rickyg65 u couldn't have said it any better! thats what i hate about rap!

[51Slasher]

@rickyg65

Hear, Hear. Well said mate.

Malcolm

[caiestodo07]

omg mola!

[PhabioRAM]

Hey, play that one George Michael song

[catachandevilfang]

is it just me, or did that guy make the sax sound like a violin for a second there? goddamn.........

[48benja]

que bonito, a veces tocar en la calle no es por necesidad, sino que el contacto con gente que pasa por la calle y no le interesa escucharte te aporta madurez musical, si logras que la gente se pare a oirte y le guste......ERES BUENO

[Stedfastwolf]

He can compete with any of the top saxophone players now. I play saxophone too and he is now my idol.

[11202]

WHY THE F**K AREN'T PEOPLE THROWING MONEY AT HIM!

[AwesomeSax97]

he sound amazing

[meikekath]

ese tipo es genial..!!!

[villegasloco]

If you dont get the Blues by now, you never will.

[SyprusGaming]

is it me, or is this fake? Its either that. Or bad syncing :P His fingers dont match the music. And neither does the song and his breaths xD

[rantanen1]

@SyprusGaming

never thought maybe the video is offsync?

[SyprusGaming]

@rantanen1 Offsync videos? in 2011? HAH! (j/k) yeah. Well the sound is amazing. He can come play on my doorstep anytime!

[komen7382]

I think if given the chance he could succeed. not easy to find players like this.

[MadokaCatty]

real touching

[asaultman67]

This guy ... is a pro ... here that vibrating? He's practically singing through his sax.

[tommex84]

Don't you think it's kinda sad that someone talented like him, an artist, has to play in tha streets next to a trash can just for a few bucks, while many others, who are obviously not talented, get payed thousands or millions just for playback singing and shaking their ass on stage?

Things have to change!

[PianoHero1994]

@tommex84

>have to change

>change

>I see what you did there

[smlphill]

Is this just improv, or does anyone known what song this is?

[doherty12ronan]

I love how the street is completely quiet apart from the sax

[laberintodelasoledad]

Who cares about art anymore?

[MoziIIa4000]

@laberintodelasoledad Are you serious?

[shamim033]

wow



[AleksandrsEmsis]

nice one

[juliof777]

Vc é brasileira...enfim. O mundo está cheio de bons sentimentos...até mesmo na rua, ao lado de uma lata de lixo, o ser humano é capaz de transformar o lugar, fazer o tempo parar, e nos fazer refletir..o que é realmente importante? Ter ou sentir?..

Paz!

[chriss1152]

Nice love the sound

[Bears85yemi]

That case should be drowning with money... WTF

[gyperzoom]

возле Дуомо прекрасно играет,какой звук!!

[TheIkikikiriki]

he is amazing :O <3

[nUmBa1cHiLd1]

beautiful stuff. this man should go on americas got talent! haha im sure he would win

[Yesnog05]

If you close your eyes without seeing the artist in a curled up position, you'd have to agree that it's beautiful music he's playing and he deserves some praise from that

[jutuber89]

beautiful.

[forestgumpaed]

he ought to be on the stage,marvelous entertainment to those who appreciate good music.

[rubencortes]

I feel like crying. This guy plays better and and has more groove than many other sax player I've known.

[deathmage1000]

y r the best artist always saxaphone players they r soo good at playing music really they r

[Fanixen989]

Hes obviously sitting by a bin curled up on purpose..

[SEXYDERRICK1]

he is f*ckin awsome i would give him a $50 just bc he is that great

[UknoMySteezz]

i think he just lost a loved one ... when they zoom in on his saxophone case you see pictures of a wife and husband and next to it theres a letter but it looks like its in a different language but damn poor guy ... expressing his feelings threw music on the streets letting everyone feel his sorrow ...there aint no better way to do that then threw music!!!

[MARIPOLES25]

Ya no estas mas a mi lado corazon Wow!!!.

Goosebumps !!! so beautifullllllllllllllllllllll­lllllll Thank you for this geoirgeous melody

[TheMushroomsAreHere]

[dariod2007]

I used to play the fuckoffone once!

[KWOOTfluke]

8 peoples eyes were clouded with tears and they accidently clicked the dislike button
