He was my band director but he quit for a higher paying job in our district and now his band director is ours.

[sugarcube1994]

I recently bought the score for this piece, and can't wait till it comes. It's #3 on my list of favorite concert band pieces.

[vlamwong]

I want to rate it be 5 stars. Very fantastic performance

[bshuker]

Fantastic rendition, sorry to trouble you but do you happen to know if this arrangement (for wind band) is published? Or is this a rearrangement of the version for orchestra which is available. If you don't know then not to worry, but if you do it would be very helpful! Thanks

Why r the ratings disabled. I'm sure it would be a 5 star.

[TheRealNojo]

I'm proud to say that was my HS band director.

Awesome solo Dave.

Reach for the Schuyler!!!

[johnlauriejt]

And I'm proud to say i was IN high school band with Dave.

Geez, we're old. :)

[Lancex9384]

I could've sworn it was a tenor solo. But I could be wrong

[ericroberts007]

you're wrong

[hhollis1]

Your wrong. It's an alto solo. The movie has alto solos in it too.

[XxMySelfxX]

i really adore this piece...

i really like how Claude Delange plays it.

this video is for 5 stars. :)

[jazziesax]

Exactly: if ratings weren't disabled, this would be a 5 star for sure!

[jazziesax]

Just amazing!

[mikemrvp]

i have heard a lot of sounds for alto sounds such as buddy collette, timothy sun and others but out of all of these i love yours the best, you should do a sonata piece and maybee a video on your ambusher because your sound is so good

[andersaxx]

David, are you still playing on that Mark VII? Beautiful job, buddy. You've been practicing! I coached a student through that suite for the state solo festival. And great work with your jazz band. They sound awesome. You've really been living your dream. --Anders

Hello,

This is Mike (grandfather of one of David's students). David is not only an amazing musician, but also an extraordinary teacher / director. And his students genuinely love and respect him.

Be sure to watch the videos on "DVHSjazz" also. David's jazz band is considered to be one of the best in America. And I am thrilled that my granddaughter is able to participate in it (alto sax player).

I'm sure David will respond to your comment personally too.

Best regards,

Mike

[andersaxx]

Thanks, Mike. Dave and I are old HS and college buddies.

[DVHSband]

I thought that was probably the case.

[Nicolasballois]

Pour un orchestre amateur, belle performance, surtou dans la deuxième partie du morceau (thème lent), joli vibrato! Bravo!

Merci infiniment de vos commentaires gentils. Je suis humilié par vos mots gentils au sujet de mon jeu.
