Cry Me A River, Jazz Ballad on Tenor Sax
Музыка
About 25 years ago, when I was 18, I had an older girlfriend, she a much wiser 27. She was nice,... cool. She had a little flat right in the centre of town. Sometimes in the middle of the night we would sit at her window, smoking, looking down at the busy streets below. She had a cassette tape of Julie London's "Julie is her Name" album and we'd listen to it on rotation. This tune of course is a classic, but let's not forget the haunting "Laura", "Gone with the Wind" and "It never entered my mind" I was playing the guitar back then, just learning some jazz. I was blown away by the lovely guitar of Barney Kessell. That music will stay with me for the rest of my life, the girlfriend, sadly did not :-)

The story of your much older GF.. sure wonderful memories
Now that's what I call a great tenor sound, very full 👌
Its made me cry a river - so many memories. I love it so beautifully played
Some say KZread is bad for the music industry , but without it I would have never found one of my new favorite tenor sax players. I can't think of a better player for slow jazz songs.
I was sad i few hours ago and by listening this music makes me feel the real sense of life and happy again.
I've been playing this song for a few years now, still enjoy it like the first time, cup of dark strong coffee and a damn relaxing cigarrete. Cheers.
Magical moments. Love every nuanced highs and lows
The story says it all. Beautiful.
Great song, great music for a great musician. Thank you Matthew stone.
Man I can't stop listen to you over and over again!!! I love your version!!! It's fantastic!!
Reminds me of Paris :) ,honestly some of the best smooth jazz I've ever heard.

Great memories, great feelings, great music !
I just love this. I've been listening to this for over a year now and just wanted you to know this is my favourite version on saxophone. Of course I really go for Julie London's vocal version.
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.
I could listen to this all day. Just starting out, hope I can sound like this one day.
I have played the guitar for 35 years, still do. 3 years ago i started on the sax, first on the alto, for the last 2 years on the tenor. Damn hard instrument. I'm not giving up though! Nice playing and great sound!
Absolutely beautiful! I am just about to add this to my repertoire. Thank you so much!
Quite a few comments to talk about hear. I listen to Mathew a lot having bought myself a tenor last Xmas after 65 years playing the drums ! No good listening to Golson Coltrane etc (other than for enjoyment) guys like Mathew inspire me to emulate them rather than hoping for the impossible.(A) its never to late to start Im 80 (B) it neednt be expensive I bought my sax on Ebay for £150 (C) look and listen to yourself (bathroom mirror is great accoustics are good there too) Practice long notes to develop your tone. Dont worry about cheeks in or out etc being comfortable blowing is more important to start with the rest will develop as you progress.

Beautiful. Simply beautiful. Cudos to you sir.
Go Matthew....... WOW......You got it man.YEAH. Play on play play play.. BEAUTIFUL tone and skill.
Perfect intonation and lovely melodies in your improv. And definite kudos for not falling back on the blues scale. Very nice work.
Those kind never do, but it can make some nice memories like these. Nice story, beautiful tunes.
Amazing and perfect , thanks 🎷
Fantastic to rehear this number. Matthew is a star.
You're honestly amazing, I sincerely wish you the best on whatever remarkable journey's life takes you on. Best of luck and stick with it, you're doing amazing.
Wow. Thank you. I've been scouring KZread, trying to find people with the touch and tone and emotion that first hooked me on the sax three decades ago. Now I've found it. My alto and me don't sound anything like you, but listening to you has given the buzz to pick it up again.
Beautiful!! WOW!
So beautiful tone and performance... Thanks You for share it!
Kind of smooth song one never get enough.
WOW.. what a sound! Beautiful! :-)
Love this...

You have an impeccable sense of timing! + & soul! Thanks 4 sharing
great and soft dynamic sound
Thanks for the music!
I listened to it 100 times in 7 days i think. I am playing the saxophone for 4 months now 2 hours a day and i am trying to learn your version by ear. Because i love this version.
Fantastic sounding, thank you so much.
Beautifully played
Trop beau ! ça vous prend les tripes ! J'écouterai pendant des heures... Quel merveilleux instrument que le saxo !
I've been playing a clarinet since 6th grade even though all I ever wanted was to play the saxophone. I'm a junior in high school and the urge of wanting to play has come back. I've been contemplating on whether I should switch or not since I only had 2 years left but listening to you play made me decide to switch, thank you!

Music is a lifelong hobby. Plus if you know how to play clarinet, saxophone will be really easy for you to pick up. The fingers are pretty much the same. I would say go for a try. Never know unless you try.

" coisas boas " hoje não temos mais, olhem só isso sim dá gosto de ouvir
Real Nice Tone, Phrasing, tone and Breath control A+
Matthew, that was beautiful. You weren't just playing the notes, you were interpreting the Lyrics. You got the emotion of that 'lost love but I'll get over it' song. Great Tnr technique, & your sensitive use of vibrato really sold it. It is a lesson on how to play a Ballad. Very enjoyable. Thanks.
very good!!! bom demais...curtindo essse som relax aqui...
love this
Dear Matthew sonds awesome..bless you and thank you..
Thank you for this; much appreciated.
Smooth as the gloss on a top photographic mag.!!
Great Tone and sound!!!

Interesting story. It's amazing how a song mark our lives, we spend situations where the music is more than a striking image. This song is beautiful, I like very much, great interpretation, getting better and the sound of Reference forget it.

so nice, wonderful
Muy bueno! A mi me recuerda a la gran interpretación que hace de este tema Diana Krall. Ese arrastre irresistible, mezcla de tristeza y sensualidad a la vez. Magnífico como siempre! Sigue así, dignificando al Jazz y al Saxofón! Felicitaciones y gracias por compartir tu talento y sensibilidad!
I dig your phrasing, your tone, and the songs you play it is so close to what I like. I play tenor too, very nice. thanks
Beautifull song and story ! +1000
Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!! Many thanks!
A very smooth tune.
Sounds Great,, i love it
So beautifully inspiring that I am going to learn it. My tenor awaits

Beautifully played! This is one of the tenor saxophone videos that strengthened my desire to really save up and try to buy and learn to play a tenor saxophone :) I guess the tenor sax will be my second instrument (I'm primarily a pianist), I want to play the tenor sax as beautifully as you :D
Beautiful
