[@UkuleleAversion]

Chad has everything as a saxophonist: time-feel, unique tone, sense of momentum and effortlessly flowing lines.

[@gregfolland8452]

Tom Parker - Awesome sax tone! Shows off the tenor at its very best.

[@TheCabbageMan]

@@gregfolland8452 the best part is he can play wickedly blazing fast lines with amazing voicing and melody, improv or other wise while keeping such a beautiful consistent tone and then he can play ballads like this one with such buttery smooth perfect tenor tone its insane. Truly a master of the sax and jazz

[@gregfolland8452]

Alex K - Yes, you’ve got that right, he is a true master of sax & jazz technique. Awesome performer - and my favourite saxophonist.

[@Melodie1960]

Devastatingly handsome as well but that is only a +. He is by far the best saxophone player I have heard as well!

[@breckerman7552]

I only wish the average listener could understand how hard it is to play a ballad on tenor(actually on any instrument) at this level. Chad is unbelievable. He makes it seem effortless. But saxophonists know how much work and dedication Chad must have put into his craft to be able to sound like this. Clearly he has dedicated his heart and soul to playing the saxophone. I have nothing but respect for this brilliant artist.

[@rickstokes2239]

I love the control Chad exhibits. He can make that sax scream and yet still bring it down and spread that jam and butter.

[@renaissanceman165]

Absolutely. Smooth as apple butter, Baby! I love playing my saxophones, and this guy's style and sound are tops Check it Out! Ciao!!!

[@thelonecrusader220]

the rendition is absolute perfection...

[@johnsharpe734]

Chad Lefkowitz-Brown, you are a really great tenor player. It is unfortunate that only 3.3k watched.......if you screamed unintelligible crap whilst accompanying yourself on a ukuele naked, you'd would probably have got 333k. Life's not fair, but please don't stop making such brilliant music!

[@TheCabbageMan]

but the the people that matter can see Chad is an insane player, one of the best modern day jazz saxophonists and the people who's opinions matter (the educated musicians) know chad is a literal god, while naked ukulele girl is just another copy pasta 1 chord wonder and when their 15 mins of fame is done they vanish but Chad and his following stays for life.

Good thing he’s gotten a lot more recognition over the years!!

[@imbees2]

John Sharpe: Great musicians don't listen to others tell them about their music. Let along some BS online chit. Nobody plays jazz for the money. Chad plays for himself and for all the people that love and understand his playing. Like I do.

[@Jazzhog]

Chad has developed such a unique voice. No matter what mood you're in, it's bound to hit that sweet spot that keeps you right where you want to be. Outstanding musician !! 🎷😎

[@alicardosi4753]

This is simply beautiful. It brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it.

[@Paul-dp8bo]

Being a sax player myself I find Chads playing SUPERB, his tone and control are fantastic

[@alanflores4538]

This is the most beautiful version of this jazz ballad. Your tone is amazing, your licks and the whole band. Really gorgeous and deep.

[@mjcruiser4238]

Actually the best version is “Ella and Louis “ but, it’s great to hear a young guy play the music with this feeling!

[@darrylwalters5698]

Beautiful relaxed sound stunning low notes and flowing. Improvisation. And he can get up to the top and what a vibrato !!

[@massimilianoconte7901]

This is poetry in music.

[@jonathanfarnhill4564]

This is just so smooth and lyrical , a true talent ! Thank you 🎵🎶🎷🙏

[@kevinbarrow3550]

Why oh why is it that truly genius musicians make it look so easy - I would give a pound of flesh to be able to play like this.

[@petersalisbury108]

Beautiful tone !!!! Such a classy rendition..... love it. Thanks........

[@rafarafin]

Fantastic!!! This is the best interpretation of this song I ever heard....Its sound so romantic that make me feel in Paradise.

[@ivanvivanco8687]

My favorite jazz ballad!!🎷❤

[@randytoole4916]

Beautiful airy and fluid sound and so sensitively done. Thanks Chad for the awesome performance!

[@MrSaxobari]

Just beautiful Chad,no other words.Mario,from ont. Canada

[@billblacker5693]

What a beautiful sound and fresh lyrical ideas. It’s the way a tenor should be played.

[@wyndhleodumegwu253]

This lad is better than best! How I do love it, the treatment with its tonal quality and emotion!

[@SchoolOfSax]

Watched a LOT of your stuff - and this is my favourite. Sublime playing. Complex yet simple, faultless tone, with each listen, I find myself mesmerised by mundane things like the variety of your vibrato. Awesome man. 👍

[@ponslaurent]

Cher Chad, J'écoute en boucle cette balade en rêvant de faire chanter mon ténor de la même manière. Tout cela fait du bien, beaucoup de bien. Merci beaucoup !

[@johnmarshall2048]

Very nicely done. One of my favorites I might add. Glad I found this.

[@Azman.]

Another great piece from my all time favorite ballads tune! Lovely tone! Greetings from Jazz man, Kuala Lumpur!

[@olebirgerpedersen]

The most relaxed embouchure I ever saw. That givs this particulary sound. Wonderful !

[@Andy-mo4yv]

So glad I just discovered you.

[@edthesaxplayer8450]

Absolutely beautiful I wish I could get just a little closer to playing like this

[@the.porter.productions]

Greetings from the Ohio Porters. 🇺🇸 This is such a powerful song. I sang it in an ensemble group back in the 1980s and loved it then. Still sing it when I can. Thanks! 🤩

[@deep6thisdeep6this92]

he's got it all. nice mix of bombastic technique, sensitivity. ...and plaid. kudos.

[@charlesbarry6730]

This sound is reminiscent of Saxophonists like Lester Young and Ben Webster. He is from the school of the big sound.

[@vhondystrickland5262]

That was .... well ... I can't think of words to describe ... "As good as it gets" ... "Awesome" ... "Lovely" ... "Beautiful" ... "What I hope to do someday" .... Thanks ... I really enjoyed

[@edvojtko9270]

Beautiful Chad

[@harddriverecordingandfilmsNY]

How do I go from 40 years of playing like Clearance Clemons' growling sax to playing like this? ;-)

[@rickstokes2239]

Hard Drive Recording Clarence was a great player though. I played with his brother Bill in Arizona. He died the year after Clarence did in a house fire. Really sad. We all miss them both.

[@harddriverecordingandfilmsNY]

@@rickstokes2239 damn, really sad

[@jaykay1053]

I love this in the same way that I love Sonny Rollins' unaccompanied Body & Soul: A true masterpiece of sound, colour, contour and depth.

[@timmo491]

This is a lovely version never loses the tune.

[@burgessbrian9329]

Staggeringly brilliant; thank you 🙏

as an old GETZ & ZOOT fan Chad Lefkowitz Brown has taken my listening and playing to a new level .. i always tried to copy Zoot , Dexter etc but this guy is putting a new face on Jazz ,that, cant be taught but,, can be listened to and copied as close as you can get ..

Forgive Me.................I have been a Jazz player and affectionado for over 50 years of my life..............I have heard them all,......Coleman,.Coltrane,..Bird,.......Dexter..........Paul Desmond....Ferdinand Poval.............but I have never in my life heard a tone that actually brings me to pure tears..........your the only one..........I'm crying as I write this.............It was once said that Miles Davis described Stan Getz, ......as "Sounding good, even reading a newspaper"............I say the same about Chad......................!!

Sublime rendition :) Now go listen to the wondeful Arnett Cobbs' live, bluesey interpretation on You tube (it's incorrectly tilted 'Misty' by the uploader)......hearing both interpretations back to back is the reason I'm addicted to Jazz.

[@imbees2]

I'm just saying. Larry McKenna, has this song on the money. At 80 years old. Chad is playing it, but Larry was PLAYIN IT! Chad, listen and recognize!
