I love It !! This is what real musicians sound like!! Just mind blowing !!

[@randytrader3026]

I've played trumpet 40+ years.. where I live in S.C. there's nobody to form a jazz band, so I'm playing keys in a rock band. Lol. Listening to you guys really makes me miss playing with other horn players.. thanks for the great music...

[@onebrightheart]

This is just incredible music. Mindi is the real deal! I have met her and she is one of the authentic musicians truly living her music. There is no act there! Music is just who she is, and she naturally moves with the music. It's really wonderful to see someone so authentically dedicated to how the music moves them. It comes through in the positive feel her music has too. Just wonderful. I love this video!

[@saxmanjpr5092]

I used to take saxophone lessons from Mindi before she made it big in the music industry!

[@gnome434]

This is so good....Left me with a very nice feeling too. Nobody mentioned the fine job the organist did. Well done to all.

[@MindofRiches]

I can't say what is greater, her perfect passion for what she does or how much I enjoy listening and watching her do her thing. Spectacular!!!

[@kgoyena]

Just saw Mindi live last night in Seattle and she performed this song. She and the band were awesome!

[@NorWeFLA]

I am a saxophone player coming back to the scene after a long hiatus. I look forward to growing old and playing. Mindi Adair showed up on my radar when I would watch American Idol, eagerly. I voted for her then, and I still vote for her now. If she needed it. Tears of joy.

[@carryjgful]

I think ur mistaken...Mindi has been an exceptional artist for decades...I have two cds. She never needed to compete on AI

[@paintednumbers4713]

God damn it's good to be a Human that gets to hear beautiful noise like that!! Those drums and bass hold it down the keys and sax just make it sexier. How fun!!

[@astormingus2957]

Mindi seems to transmit so much energy by her saxophone! I love her music, but this is my favourite music video! This blonde musicians gives her best performance on live stage. Great!

[@brucebbass]

I have been a paid musician for 40 years, bass player. I really like this. Great job y'all!!

[@ronbontz5053]

She and Dulfer definitely have that Sanborn sound. Just awesome. Imagine the three of them jamming together. WOW!

[@robertknapp6422]

They are not in the same league as Sanborn. Eric Marienthal, Brandon Fields, Gerald Albright, Andy Snitzer? Much better

[@thanksalot7858]

How nice to be able to hear something so beautiful for free on youtube. Thank you all

[@TRIPOLL]

WOW What a great song played this way!!! IT IS JUST PERFECT!!! I LOVE IT SOOOOOO MUCH!!!

[@Luvallmybbs]

Love this song. Love Mindi she is amazing. Seen her a few times and each time she is fantastic. Love Love her music.

[@thinhhuynh30]

listen to all of you haters, my lord. how small are you people to come here and complain. just enjoy her music and thank her for allowing you to enjoy this video. thanks mcjollyman for sharing, this video is awesome.

[@tirolermic2]

Love it :-) And Samuel L. Jackson playing the drums is also a nice touch ;-)

[@Bashanvibe]

nice arrangement I wish I could hear more bands cover this song the lyrics is powerful

[@dabsofreality2719]

Not only an incredible sax player, but skilled in staying on that table in all positions!

[@PhinAI]

That's how a sax should sound. Sadly, I can barely rise above the squeaks to play a few simple staccato melodies. I'm grateful to the skills of the inspirational!

[@jimhowell4317]

I got here following the Y/T wormhole. In a debate about Jack Bruce vs. Wayman Tisdale as best bass player ever I saw Mindi in a video with the big man. I click on this and I'm treated to a B3 Hammond Organ, smooth riffs, and a spectacular rendition of an iconic song. Thanks.

[@elmelmon]

I love to see musicians having fun! She's cute too!

[@mlocker4]

Some of the best of what the human spirit has to offer . I enjoyed this version very much!

[@brucebbass]

the guy on the B3 is an excellent musician, and knows well how to make a B3 sing so beautifully!!!!

[@arlan8289]

thanks

[@JamesWoodard1222]

First viewed this in 2011, right after it was released. I come back to it minimum 4 times a week since. She absolutely killed it.

[@GregBrownsWorldORacing]

They All Seem (well, not seem - seeing is believing) to be having a great time & that it sounds so good... is even bettah!!

[@65LB]

Love the studio. Proves you can make good . . . great music anywhere!

[@jlp8464]

Awesome - best version i’ve heard- should have way above 10 million clicks

[@rorrysmith2197]

Hi Mindi, I've seen you perform with Peter White in Reading, PA a few times around Christmas You are great! I have some of your Cd's. We live in Winter Haven, FL now. Maybe we will get to see some of your concerts in Tampa.

[@raquelrodrigues4794]

[@전병학-e8z]

[@CoolSaxMusic]

I keep coming back to watch this again and again.... it's so cool.

[@christineseyes261]

I feel like learning to play music when I hear stuff like this..... WOW

[@laurentfortier5929]

Bravo ! Superbement joué ! Ce jeu de saxo est magnifique !

[@FlyingSebastian]

Masterpiece! That´s so amazing. Really great performance.

[@jolisparrow]

Je ne me lasse pas de cette vidéo :-). J'apprends le saxo ténor depuis 1 an et ça me donne envie d'essayer l'Alto ! Magnifique arrangement de Imagine qui me fait frissonner à chaque écoute !!!

[@ronalda.saname396]

A very talented young lady. She is not one of the best female Renor Sax players, she is one of the best Tenor Sax players period, regardless of gender.

[@gmarte12]

young? lol

[@MrSeniorLoveDaddy]

😂

[@sportsguy23]

That's an alto 😂😂😂

[@teddirob]

I’m a saxophonist, that’s an alto.

[@stevedukes]

Could literally listen to her all day and night ❤

[@fabricelamarche6803]

Mindi Abair, j'ai appris à vous connaitre sur KZbin et je suis devenu Fan de votre musique. je suis un très grand Admirateur de Saxo et je tiens à vous saluer très sincèrement. Très Cordialement Biz

[@recbeatloop]

Love this cover version! Arlan Schierbaum on organ Mindi Abair created her own sax mouthpiece (available on her homepage)

[@clarencebaggett8789]

Awesome, Beautiful Playin', So Much Soul & Passion, I Loved It Thank Ya, Y'all Are Fantastic

[@philpreston6406]

[@gboard7]

I'm a one man band on youtube. Hope you can enjoy one of my songs.

[@jeremoe1]

Anyone not liking this, don't know music! That was jamming!

[@MrLovebirdbreeder]

Great tune guys. All totally engrossed in the music you play.

[@LifeWithZach]

This is amazing and I'm gonna make my own version of this with my band today

[@sebby2129]

Yea how’d that work out. Update: 2020 is bad

[@leostewart363]

Zack,I'm 75 and something tells even me it's not going to be the same even if you dye that long hair blonde.

[@richardj8853]

@@leostewart363 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@gow33333]

You guys are awesome. specially the drummer thats a groove man

[@hummusbinshawarma9962]

I told years ago this lovely woman that i wanted my King to hear her music. Fede Konge ved hvem hun er.

[@natanjan1054]

I heard the best what cover. Expression, inventiveness, commitment this has all Mindi.I adore her on the scene.Let him stay on the day on the night for ever there.Miras from Poland.

[@joesheikhelard9296]

[@Late2theShowagain]

Mindi Kicks Ass. Nice soulful sound. Good stuff!

[@AndersonHenriqueHRV]

Nossa ficou muito bom, parabéns

[@zurek5605]

Świetny kawałek, pięknie zagrany 😮🙆‍♂️🤸‍♂️😊🙃❤️

[@simonjones6133]

i don't understand why this doesnt have like 10 million veiws, cats falling off stupid walls etc have more, mindi is as cute as a kitten here and music is sweet as a button

[@DKrankiKapitan]

simon jones because everybody dosen't like sax. Stupid cat is a society phénomène

[@jaeungrhee977]

ALL RIGHT....

[@山田隆義-k6f]

simon jones

[@simonjones6133]

this is a perfect example of acoustic music played well. Even if it is a cover. I'd take 3 seconds of this sax playing over 20 years of shite 'hip hop' computerised shite that passes for a good track currently.

[@AbeLuedtke]

Cuz it's terrible!!

[@gourizanjoelnate4254]

No doubt,it's the truth. God bless you famous jazz woman.

[@tiaomacele9264]

Nota dez direto do Brasil!!!

[@houzhead6588]

This is nice Mindi❤❤❤❤ You guys sound REAL GOOD TOGETHER

[@hippiehairstylist]

Are those not real stairs behind them ?! 😂 that's so cool & funny lmao. Also, CHILLSSS 😍😍 loved this video ❤ I just bought my first sax earlier today !

[@arlan8289]

the stairs and rocks in the background are very real ~ (o:

[@MrChrissy1r]

It's a living room edition! LOL

[@ai-of6bx]

[@chazsteiner1372]

Funky, jazzy, chilling, good job, great music!

[@JonathasFilipeMont]

MARAVILHOSOO!! Amazing! ") Perfeito! Perfect ")

[@labonnemedia]

Got here because of the sax, stayed and watched 30 more times for the mesmerizing keys.

[@metodozebedeu]

Sensacional!

[@rixtria]

Mindi is my second cousin, I'm NOT kidding. I met her when she was on tour and came around my area. We got to go back stage, watch them practice, and her dad paid the tickets for us! It was a really great experience and I would love to see her again! (No hate replies, please. I'm being completely and truly honest!)

[@johningram2153]

Wow, I was just searching for Imagine played on a Hammond. I wasn't expecting all this. Great band! Good job, KZbin.

[@emiliocanal3497]

CONGRATULATIONS MINDI FANTASTIC SAX!!!!!

[@OfficialMindiAbair]

Thanks!

[@crystalbrown2621]

Mindi is BOSS!!!!! But that Hammond B12 or whatever he's playing......WHEW!!!!!! Love this

[@markyncole]

I remember seeing her on Adam Sandler's live HBO concert in 96 and thinking,"That's the hottest Sax player ever!"

[@byrddog2495]

Also very talented.

[@tainaedwards5061]

Lookup candy dulfer. Mindi is really cool but candy is ultimate

[@maverickdallas100]

Damn! She can REALLY play that thing...and have a whole lot of fun doing it!

[@Aldissimo90]

That Hammond sound

[@paxwallacejazz]

Candy Dulfer and this little post Sanborn phenom. What's up with all the babes burning on sax? Well give me more! Great B3 solo

[@Cubsfan122112]

i was a little worried she would fall out of her chair. another reason i always stand when i perform. lol

[@JazzizCafeLoveJazz]

Thanks for share it! La saxofonista Mindi Abair reinventaba así en 2011 el clásico de John Lennon, "Imagine", un tema grabado en directo donde destaca además el sonido del órgano. De "Imagine", escrita en 1971 por Lennon, BMI dice que es una de las 100 canciones más interpretadas del siglo XX, y para la RIAA ocupa el puesto 30 en la lista de las 365 Canciones del Siglo, además obtuvo un premio del Salón de la Fama de los Grammy y esta en el Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll en su lista de 500 canciones que dieron forma al Rock and Roll. #smoothjazz

[@Jessica-fe8vl]

The keyboard guy kinda reminds me of David Spade lol

[@voltherolokollo1319]

and Mindi looks like Malin Akerman .. lol

[@BillKinsman]

Arlan Schierbaum is a great keyboard player. This was actually filmed at his house. He didn't get 10 cents for this, either.

[@officialclairegmusician]

Haha! The drummer kinda reminds me of John's son Ravi Coltrane!!!!!!🎷🎷🎷😁😁😁

[@saxocoustic]

Brilliant video and audio / you’ve got great tone and dynamics you’ve inspired me to pick up my sax again and update my channel thanks for sharing. 5 Star Performance.Love it.

[@enzocypriani5055]

What an organ! which is that? is he using any effects?

[@dialermd6754]

Enzo Cypriani Hammond organ probably from 80s or 90s designed

[@enzocypriani5055]

Dialer Md cool! thanks

[@arlanoscar]

1959 Hammond B3 with internal Organ Mate reverb ~ Leslie 122 speaker

[@AbeLuedtke]

he's using an effect that plays an additional minor 9th above the specified tone.

[@AbeLuedtke]

its an effect that makes it sound better for autistic ppl

[@jameslowry2304]

The Keyboardist is Arlan Scheierbaum, He played with Joe Bonamassa for a couple of years. He rocks the keyboards. We had the pleasure of seeing him with Joe Bonamassa in Vegas. What a concert!

[@virginiaveludo4012]

Fantastica!!
