  • Love he smooth playing of it. Heard too many musicians who play this masterpiece in a very staccato way.

    Thumbs up!

  • sounds better on the bari... more of a hearty sound :]

  • Excellent interpretation of a classic masterpiece. Thanks for all the videos posted, they help a lot young mucisians to improve their chops. Wish to participate in one of your performances.

  • Alas, I have never played in Greece, but maybe there is a possibility in the future.

    Kind regards,

    Bert Brandsma

  • EXCELLENT: I think Bert is in the same league as alto saxman Johnny Hodges who also has a nice arrangement of this tune on some of the Ellington records Leebm29

  • I don't which version I prefer: your or Harry Carney's at Newport 1956. Very difficult to say.

  • I consider this remark as a very big compliment, since Ellington's sax saxion, and then esp. the 1940 one, with Hardwick, Hodges, Bigard, Webster and Carney is my very favourite to listen to.

    Vielen dank, freue mich in Januar/Februar wieder in Deutschland zu spielen!
