I would like a father like him, someone to listen me, to teach me how to play saxophone someone to be my dad. But unfortunately I grew up hearing that I was useless and only after my 40s I decided to buy my first saxophone and now I am living like a man. Today I am a engineer, a have a wonderful family And five years ago when I spoke to my father for the last time he said to me like this " to me you are still useless".
How lucky you are to have an iconic dad like Mr.Graves 🥰 Rest in peace 🙇🏻♂️You dad sound still in my heart every morning I woke up🥰 Thanks again to made my everyday happy 🥰🙇🏻♂️
Sad to hear of his passing. Extremely talented man, Your musicianship lives on UA-cam to be admired for years to come. God bless and Thank you. My condolences to your family RIP Mr Graves.
Rip Mr Graves. You are and will continue to be a huge inspiration to me. Huge loss to those of us that admired your playing. My deepest condolences to your family. Thank for sharing the beauty of your music.
Vladimir Lopez..I’m glad that you share my musical appreciation for Mr. Aubra Graves... As a 30 year+ veteran of the Tenor Saxophone myself ...clearly I still need to learn how to blow my horn 👍❤️
No Saxaphonist...dead or alive can articulate a song like this man. The perfect Ballroom vibe...and his phrasing is unmatched. You willed be missed! SIP!
I am playing a selmer Mk V11 (seven) very early ser. no. 242--- has all of the eng. etc. My mouthpiece is a New York 7* otto Link. Thanks for listening. A.Graves
Truly an artist , not for money or glory, or how many tricks that can be done , but to show us what music can sound like, when it is performed from the heart. We are fortunate to be able to see and hear this, in these times. thanks Mr.Graves
I’m watching this from 2023 and this is still going to be my best Misty saxophone Cover and you have been so far my inspiration to continue playing saxophone 🥰🙇🏻♂️
I listen almost every day to some of the songs he has on UA-cam. What a great talent. The family should be proud of all of the enjoyment he has given to all of us who love Jazz. Thank You Ray
At a time when far too many jazz musicians are intent on simply racing scales through the changes, it's so nice to hear a man make every note and every pause count. Beautiful.
There is so much praise for this (seemingly very humble) fellow, that I thought it superfluous to add my 2 cents worth. But try as I may, I can't hold it back, I just have to let it out: This is just absolutely superb ! There, I feel better now.
Aubra Graves,ottimo solista di sax tenore,offre attraverso You Tube,la cristallina qualità delle sue performances,che mettono in risalto la sua bravura e duttilità musicale e so pratutto aggiunge,se mai ve ne era bisogno,una ulteriore riprova che il sax tenore è lo strumento "principe! della musica jazz: Lettore 725580 .
Кто поставил оценку "не понравилось" - это просто придурки!!!! Это просто ВЕЛИКИЙ тенор -саксофонист...Он играет мелодично и эо самое главное!!! Снимаю шляпу перед вами, mister Aubra!!! Браво!!!
Misty is one of my all time favorite songs and when I heard Mr. Grave's version, I have been enchanted by this song even more. Beautiful rendition. Bravo!!
As a lifelong sax player, you are one of the few that have stirred my passion so profoundly for the instrument. YOU ARE AMAZING! Your playing is now and will always be a source of inspiration for me. I will strive to emulate you for the rest of my playing days. Thank God for you, the internet and youtube for leading me to this.
I have just started playing the tenor saxophone after having played the clarinet for years (as an amateur). I'm looking for some inspiration, and I sure found one - right here. Stan Getz and Ben Webster might just go home - if they could. This is how a tenor saxophone should sound. Congrats from Norway.
Mr Gaves, definitivamente Ud. es un verdadero saxofonista, se ha convertido para mi, la inspiración y solo deseo que me alcance la vida no para imitarlo sino para escucharlo. De todas sus interpretaciones ninguna, ninguna es desagradable, al contrario escucharlo es relajante. Espero que El Todo Poderoso nos lo tenga por mucho tiempo, además escuchando más de sus interpretaciones.
Jeden z ładniejszych światowych utworów. I to jeszcze przepięknie zagrany. Nie wiem czy zauważyliście państwo, że ten sam numer, a jak inaczej zagrany przez Stan Getza. Też prześlicznie...
Definitivamente es lo mejor que he visto, es todo un maestro de maestros e intérprete del saxo tenor y alto todo un caballero, un inmenso abrazo al señor Aubra graves y a you tube por darnos el privilegio de verlo y escucharlo.
It's close to midnight. I'm watching the moon above my city and I miss sooooo much for my girlfriend because she is far away now... I'm listening your play and I feel misty... Thanks man!
Esta es la mejor versión que he escuchado de esta hermosa melodía. Con respeto y admiración lo felicito. Toca formidable este mi instrumento favorito, con sentimiento y gran maestria.
He also played a Selmer Mark 7 at least in one video. The sax in this video doesn't like a conn to me. Look at the neck(connecting rod missing...). Mayb you're right, I'm not an expert...
Sir: Right now it's 3:30 in the morning and I am sitting in my room in Afghanistan. I have been trying to learn the tenor saxophone forever and I must tell you that you are amazing. Thanks for making what seems like a terrible time here sound as if I'm so close to heaven when I close my eyes - Always Silverlions6
He's got Stan Getz beat. I just listened to compare them. Thanks Dad💕

Descanse en Paz señor Graves, inspiración para los tenoristas, siempre vivirá ese eterno sonido y fraseo que tanto deleite produce. RIP.
I'm going to make another video of misty , so you can see every small detail of fingering, coming very soon,
No Saxaphonist...dead or alive can articulate a song like this man. The perfect Ballroom vibe...and his phrasing is unmatched. You willed be missed! SIP!
still probably the best version of this song I've ever heard...
I am playing a selmer Mk V11 (seven) very early ser. no. 242--- has all of the eng. etc. My mouthpiece is a New York 7* otto Link. Thanks for listening. A.Graves
This wonderful man is every bit as good as the legendary greats, and better than many. Why hasn’t the world heard about him!

Graças a Deus pude encontrar um ser iluminado como este senhor... Vai me inspirar para sempre tentar me aproximar dele! Obrigado Deus!
Une des plus belles version de Misty...!!!
One of the best interpretations of Misty, congratulations 🎉😅
and i'm still listening again...and again...Mr Graves, you are smoother than a silk scarf

You are a great musician. An outstanding saxophonist. I'm a late bloomer and hope one day to play like you...

Wow. Why haven't I heard more from you. You're a hidden treasure.
mr graves is my inspiration .. he is 4 yrs older than me ,,, I cant play as good as he does ... great sound and fluid fingers..
bobby G............
This guy's playing really touches your heart!!!!!!!!!
Un grand,très grand saxophoniste qu'elle leçon magnifique.
2018 and I am still listening to this song. Best sax cover of Misty!
Incredible... LOVE listening to Mr. Graves. So beautiful with the best tone and phrasing I've ever heard. Thank you sir.
One cannot get rid of such deligthtful sweet piece of art ...yes this is pure art...
With admiration from Switzerland
thank you for this wonderful playing.
I'm just so impressed about how you make a music out of that sax.
When he started on UA-cam I think he was 82. He'll be 85 next month. Thanks for keeping him playing with good players!
is he still alive now?
I love your sound and execution. You are an awesome player sir.
I have just started playing the tenor saxophone after having played the clarinet for years (as an amateur). I'm looking for some inspiration, and I sure found one - right here.

La mejor versión, de misty, gracias por dejarnos estas grabaciones.
Absolutely Tasteful! Gonna practice this song until im better than this guy! back in 30 years :)
La Mejor versión de Misty en tenor sax que se ha escuchado en el UA-cam. Gracias por compartirla . Saludos desde Guatemala, Centroamérica
Sonny Sit, Charley Sit,John Sit Dex And you Ben Sit Down this Man is a Legend.
Mr. Aubra Graves! You play the saxophone beautifully, your expression, sound and freshness are adorably special. Thanks for sharing your art!
さすが、無駄のないリラックスした演奏は歳を重ねて奏でられるものだと実感。ライトも浴びないでも、本当に素晴らしいリヴィングコンサート、心に残るコンサートでした。若いミュージシャンは是非後に続いてほしい。
It doesn't get better than this... what an amazing tenor player... sweeeeet. Wow!!
What a great performer! Thats amazing. Music-art at it's best. Thank you, Aubra Graves.

Aubre Graves. Canadian master of the ballad.

Splendid in every way. Thanks for that, I don't subscribe to much on You Tube but I will to you, because you are up there with the very best.
still the best on youtube aubra with your own tone no need to copy any one your top man
Lust come across this fantastic player with such a great sound and great ideas. His style of playing will never sound dated.
Jeden z ładniejszych światowych utworów. I to jeszcze przepięknie zagrany. Nie wiem czy zauważyliście państwo, że ten sam numer, a jak inaczej zagrany przez Stan Getza. Też prześlicznie...
I am never bored

It's close to midnight. I'm watching the moon above my city and I miss sooooo much for my girlfriend because she is far away now... I'm listening your play and I feel misty... Thanks man!

Soberbia versión, desprende una perfecta armonía, subyuga y emociona.Un Maestro
Lovely fluid sound down low, beautiful, thanks.
Just crying ❤️ what a bless
I never tire of listening to your sweet sound, it is honey to the ear.
Beautiful tone and execution on this tune, bravo. Best backing track I've heard on youtube.
You get such a sweet sound from that Selmer sax. I love your UA-cam music videos. Just plain wonderful! Thank you.
He plays a Conn 10M ..
He also played a Selmer Mark 7 at least in one video. The sax in this video doesn't like a conn to me. Look at the neck(connecting rod missing...). Mayb you're right, I'm not an expert...
HCL991 you are correct sir...defo not a Conn, no neck bridge and that's where I put my cigar in between blows...
mark 7
a very good moment whith an exceptionnal artist !thank you very much !....

I Love this. Thank You Mr. Graves.
I'm still listening....and the goosebumps are still growing...x
And I'm still listening...and practicing...nearly there, another 20 years and I think I'll have it almost just right
Simply wonderful to listen too....I'm on a learning curve which has taken me to a new level of listening :)
Fantástica música, alimento del alma que hace que mi mente se transforme en un remanzo de paz y armonía...
This cat can play man! Beautiful tone quality, just pop that cork and sit back, relax and enjoy.
