That dude on the lead alto is a fucking beast! A FUCKING BEAST! Good god, an absolute treat to watch! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@kaspartambur]

And to listen to, true majestic phrasing of the melody (even without a bass saxophone/trombone/french horn or anything other low)

[@javiersalman570]

Such an exquisit version!! This song is so satisfying in so many levels!!

[@stephenhathaway269]

The Musicianship is astounding. I keep returning to this and repeat.

[@18joe48]

I think the intro is to be understood as a tribute to Charlie parker who is the dedicatee of this piece which may not be known.

[@kaspartambur]

cool, glad to know now

[@aaronkandlik]

I would have hope the title was a giveaway

[@ironmyno]

If I practice the saxophone for the next 15 years.. I'll never come close to what I just heard.. That was awesome 👍

Bravo!!!

[@DimitriSafarikas]

Amazing performance ... Really gotta work more on my alto sax skills :D

[@rentsboy]

Bravo

[@gabrielsaenz2253]

Bravo! You sir are what I aspire to be as an alto saxophonist if you have the sheet music for that intro I owe tacos, my medium of art where I am any where you are!

[@WassamelonSeed]

The musicianship in this is outstanding, but I feel that it is missing the soulful connection each instrument has with one another in the original. In the actual song, the melody bounces back and forth between the alto, tenor, and bari like its own language.

[@laurensenhanne]

Jullie mogen gerust in onze huiskamer komen spelen!

[@RaCology]

Ok, but that intro... :(

[@arnaudrousseaux7985]

RaCology Hi, I'm a guy from the close future. Have you change your mind ?

[@Deathtank75]

@@arnaudrousseaux7985 probably not. xD

[@andreaires3205]

Hi, i'm another guy from a not that close future. Have you, now?

[@cosmecome]

In my opinion this intro And outro Is a real+

[@yummyjackalmeat]

damn

[@extanegautham8950]

not sure in which way the heavy metal opening enhanced the project...

[@ricarleite]

Starts at 1:25, after some horrible narcissistic intro.

[@rjs62888]

hahaha

[@RP-lg7up]

It reminds us of a bird singing •

[@ixionwayne7153]

Hahahaha.. you are right. But, it's pretty awesome, thou!

[@andreaires3205]

projection alert! projection alert!!

[@MZophiel]

Intro is not for me :(

[@pageboy25]

the solo at the beginning was unnecessary

[@TonyGazzo19134]

Pageboy25 i enjoyed it , he just let them know what’s up and be ready

[@BufordDuckworth]

Save some notes for the rest of us, buddy!

[@tellitlikeitis-rg4ny]

great but these players have no souls they just playing notes
