You should play In The Mood!

[@Chitozeta89]

You are one of my favorite saxophonists. I really like your jazz-flavored style I send you greetings and a hug from Chile, I am a street saxophonist.

[@ekaufman4800]

You cruise through those high notes without being shrill or sharp. I'm awestruck

[@georgieboi1518]

Classic! Great tone always amazed by the quality of your saxes.

[@bettertrax5640]
