[@peterpiece2102]

Pretty tone! Amazing Old fashioned sound! ☝

[@wyndhleodumegwu253]

If there is anything as ' Smooth Jazz', well here it is: a ballad played by a master bluesman. In this group belong Houston Pearson, Paul Gonsalves, Paul Pinnochette, Ben Webster, Flip Philips,Sil Austin, Arnet Cobb, Clifford Jordon, Harold Land, Scott Hamilton, Ricky Woodward, etc. Excellent!

[@rannoupascal3408]

Paul Quinichette, perhaps?

[@latinkeys1]

David Fathead Newman played in the Ray Charles band and had a Battle with another saxophonist named Tina Brooks. Tina Brooks was my uncle. Please look up the battle

[@LaDinamoCreativa]

Bob, I really love your uncle´s playing.

Tina Brooks was amazing.

[@SketchPLAY1]

Tina left way to soon, can't get enough of his sound.

[@3JoeLee]

Così si suona il sax. Grandissimo.

[@roderickberry2508]

My man got a lot of life lived in his horn

[@sparkle3000]

[@Oaktownrob]

Anybody know the other players?

[@llirrub]

Hey, this is ripped off from my film, A.K.A. Fathead, also on you KZbin, and can be seen on my channel: llirrub. It would have been nice to at least give credit. For the record, the other players are Peter Bernstein, guitar Steve Nelson, vibes, John Menegon, bass, David Leonhardt, piano.

[@marcarchaz]

thx to you anyway!

[@alankaye2933]

thank you , i saw this at his memorial at st peter's. inspiring.

[@michaeldean9338]

Thanks for this, llirrub... and to the other un credited musicians, as well. Beautiful moment caught here.

[@latinkeys1]

Thank you such a beautiful video

[@davenelson6077]

great version of a great song.. Burt's best in my opinion

[@treslongwell1332]

ouch man, Peter got the evil eye at 4:08.

[@treslongwell1332]

did they switch to 3/4 for the solos?

[@michaeldean9338]

Sounds more like one.

[@Houseof1817]

Is this on a record?

Played along with this on my tenor as I had the music. Great until the last bit where he completely and unrecognisably changes to a different key....

[@albertbrown359]

Well so what.Thats why we call it African American Classical music. You have to learn how to feel.There are only feelings in our music.Stop criticizing.I completely dug his story.This man is a legend. TIRED OF TWO BIT WANNABE EUROPEANS WHO ALWAYS CRITICIZE. HIS CHORD CHANGES COME FROM WHAT HE FEELS.THERE IS NO TEXTBOOK FOR THAT.

[@tellitlikeitis-rg4ny]

@@albertbrown359 i. A two bit englishman we ate not all the same so stop the racism yank

[@albertbrown359]

@@tellitlikeitis-rg4ny Its seems like all hit dogs bark racism. You are damn right we are not the same.I defend my people and OUR greatness at all times. So bark all you desire.

[@saxophonedave]

I love David Newman and his tenor sound, but it is really hard to listen in such a dead sounding room with no reflection. Listening or playback thru a headphone mix would have sounded better than recording his sound in the room. I don't like recording or recordings in such a dead sounding space. Too bad we can't hear the finished product instead.
