Misty

From 1973, here's first saxophone player Dave Edwards of the Lawrence Welk Orchestra and alumni of the Auburn Knights orchestra playing his solo of the jazz standard "Misty"

I love the beautiful, smoky sound produced by Dave Edwards. Very unique. This is the best rendition of "Misty" that I've heard. Lawrence Welk always had top-notch musicians on his show.

Very nice prolonged cadenza type ending. I watch reruns of Lawrence Welk on PBS from time to time, but have not been fortunate enough to see Dave Edwards featured. Thanks for posting this

Excellent orchestration.

WOW! He was fantastic. Dave died a few years ago. He is from my hometown Fairhope, Alabama. I graduated high school with his sister.

Very nice performance, but the video has been looped to make it longer. At 1:38 it loops back to :21, and we see the dancing again, and then at 2:51, where the performance looped back the first time, we see the real ending. Cuts were expertly done though

Solos from Dave Edwards are one of the reasons i liked this show so much. Shows like this are sadly gone forever.
