*Something inflamatory out of envy*

[DesertFox101]

That tenor player's quite something.

[Vitruvian42]

Why Sammy Nestico would write this ballad in F as well as C is beyond me. It sounds much better in C. The tenor sound doesn't really fit the sound, either. I'll just leave the other comments where they are and keep your self-esteem up where it will surely stay.

Daaaaaang, that tenor player's amazing. I'll have to work my butt off to get my tone that nice. :D

[halsbrad]

That's a reeeeallly long cadenza there.

5/5 stars - excellent work.

[bobthathead3]

[CDM3794]

the triplets in the trumpets at the beggining are too short at 45-51 seconds. yea a crap load of note cracking..but other then that great, the sax was beautiful
