ferociously good
steven crammer, distinguished william paterson alumnus
This is a really rhythmically nice piece, so much elements, pretty cool.
Awesome tone, man!! Sounds so much like Prez
wonderful!! but next time, tell that woman in the background to shut up and appreciate that masterpiece.
Came hehe via your website which now seem semi defunc. , anyway Great playing really. It made me happy. Cheers
killer tune!
Great band!
Sir your videos are amazing. I am connected with you. Your title is too long, description is not SEO related. Does anyone find a topic with such a long title on UA-cam? Title and description should be keyword dependent. It affects the view. What do you think? I am a professional UA-cam expert with 5 years of experience.
Thanks for share your music.We‘re met before at Eastshore ,When you come back to China for the show?😊
I'll be visiting in May, not sure if I'll play, but I might sit in on a friend's gig
Oh, man... Beautiful. Prez was a saxophone god.
LoL I was gonna tell you how I found you, but I forgot 😂 I think it was IG and I linktreed to your UA-cam. Either way, this is great stuff. I miss being able to sit in on a jazz session pre covid and this scratches that itch
thanks for checking out my stuff! appreciate it
YES
shredding for inhumanity
Sounds very good. I always liked this song played by Cannonball Adderley quintet, so much happiness and joy. Thanks gor sharing.
Pres............ Go Kevin.
Kevin "Porkpie" Sun
best nickname i've received
Yes, Yes, Yes
Hell Yea!!
Thumbs up!👏👍👍
Why don't you play your own solo?
...
you can play as fast as coltrane but there will always be a huge room for digging solos like lester did
Cocky, referring to Joe Henderson with the album cover design. I like it. I'm enjoying the album and expect to spend a lot of time checking it out.
Lester lives!
i am a fan Kevin. What mouthpiece are playing here? Really clear, speaks evenly through the entire register. Even gives you a little Joe Hen when you you want.
Thanks as always bob. This is a brilhart hard rubber mouthpiece, worked on by Pete Yakowec around 2018 or so. I’ve been playing it on and off for years, I like it a lot but am torn between it and the metal selmer England piece I’ve also played on and off. To be continued..
Thanks Kevin! Both sound good. But different. I think having different sounds available is really important@@kevinsun
@@bobblues1158 thank you, and that's a good point. i'm sure i will continue to experiment for a long time to come!
So good:)
nice couch
muito bom !! great !!!😉💜👍👏🎼🎶🎵🎺🎷🔊
oh yeah this tune rulez
Yo! Smoking it down bro!!
Wow! This had me deep listening all the way. The momentum kept shifting all the time but ramping up to the end the whole time. You should send your stuff to Jim Mcneely at the Frankfurt Radio band . To WDR big band in Cologne. To Miho Hazama .They are always looking for new interesting music to orchestrate for big band. I mean this for real. I live in Copenhagen and was in the Radio band here. This music of yours would be great for big band. These are REALLY good bands and can play this type of music easily. I have been following you for the last year.
*Promo SM* 💕
Still amazing! Always coming back to Mark's solo sax videos.
Nice playing … pretentious title.
