um dos maiores saxofonista de que eu tenha conhecimento.sopro limpo e afinadissimo! era o meu som de infancia .tocava tanto o disco que gastou as faixas!!!
Wow My father used to rave about this guy,he told me that he was possibly the finest saxophonist ever and after listening to him by stumbling on him by accident (looking for Fred Gardner Sinatra impersonator, who I might add is good but not a patch on the real thing) I have to say as always my father was right. Thanks for posting the video.
Flowing, lyrical interpretation of a beautiful song. No steam hammer rythm section and no instrumentalists competing to be front line, So relaxing and reassuring that musical music can still be found. I heard many years ago Freddy`s version of another beautiful song " Roses of Picardy". Is there anyone out there who is willing and able to upload Freddy`s version? Mr Jelly
me too I remember being able to buy only3 45's --6 songs in 1952(?) and trying desperately to find more-- I'm new at maneuvering this stuff and pleasantly surprised to find so much --- so listen to Freddy and shed a tear or 2 with me
This is another that died too young! A truly great sax player! I have the album this song this was taken from ,and also have a cd of Freddy called (Freddy Gardner and his Swing Orchestra 1937-1939)that has 24 of his recordings on it ! Great music!!! Freddy died in 1950 at the age of 40--Brain Hemorrhage!!!! Stu.
Smooth as silk ......what a musician

Music is heavenly! I'm a fan of Earl Bostic, just as good but different!

So sad that he died at age 39 from a stroke that occurred while he was fixing his son's bike. A truly brilliant artist.

I first bought this album in the early 50's, and I've never tired of it. Such a wonderful artist.

Easy listening that doesn't go in one ear and straight out the other.
This chap could improvise as well. I suppose the tremulous tone dates it but Mr. Gardner could certainly play. Ace.

This was a favorite of my mother's and I remember purchasing the album for her in the very early 60's. It is a wonderful rendition of a great song.
