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 :-)

    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.

    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.

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!

Great Tnr technique, & your sensitive use of vibrato really sold it. It is a lesson on how to play a Ballad. Very enjoyable. Thanks.
