Cry Me A River, Jazz Ballad on Tenor Sax
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 січ 2013
- About 25 years ago, when I was 18, I had an older girlfriend, she a much wiser 27. She was nice,... cool. She had a little flat right in the centre of town. Sometimes in the middle of the night we would sit at her window, smoking, looking down at the busy streets below. She had a cassette tape of Julie London's "Julie is her Name" album and we'd listen to it on rotation. This tune of course is a classic, but let's not forget the haunting "Laura", "Gone with the Wind" and "It never entered my mind" I was playing the guitar back then, just learning some jazz. I was blown away by the lovely guitar of Barney Kessell. That music will stay with me for the rest of my life, the girlfriend, sadly did not :-)
i love how you never go overboard & have the perfect amount of everything in your performance.

The story of your much older GF.. sure wonderful memories
Now that's what I call a great tenor sound, very full 👌
Reminds me of Paris :) ,honestly some of the best smooth jazz I've ever heard.
Good sound and music.
I'm in sixth grade band I play the ten nor sax
fucking liar
Its made me cry a river - so many memories. I love it so beautifully played
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.
I was sad i few hours ago and by listening this music makes me feel the real sense of life and happy again.
Fantastic to rehear this number. Matthew is a star.
Bonjour superbe interprétation un grand BRAVO bonne journée amicalement Michel 👍 💯 💥 👏👏👏
I've been playing this song for a few years now, still enjoy it like the first time, cup of dark strong coffee and a damn relaxing cigarrete. Cheers.
The story says it all. Beautiful.
Man I can't stop listen to you over and over again!!! I love your version!!! It's fantastic!!
Matthew, that was beautiful. You weren't just playing the notes, you were interpreting the Lyrics. You got the emotion of that 'lost love but I'll get over it' song. Great Tnr technique, & your sensitive use of vibrato really sold it. It is a lesson on how to play a Ballad. Very enjoyable. Thanks.
Great memories, great feelings, great music !
Quite a few comments to talk about hear. I listen to Mathew a lot having bought
myself a tenor last Xmas after 65 years playing the drums ! No good listening to
Golson Coltrane etc (other than for enjoyment) guys like Mathew inspire me to
emulate them rather than hoping for the impossible.(A) its never to late to start
Im 80 (B) it neednt be expensive I bought my sax on Ebay for £150 (C) look and
listen to yourself (bathroom mirror is great accoustics are good there too) Practice
long notes to develop your tone. Dont worry about cheeks in or out etc being
comfortable blowing is more important to start with the rest will develop as you
progress.
Right on, just bought my first Conn around 1928. getting a good education hear.
Michael McDermott You guys might look up the difference between 'hear' and 'here'. Yes, I'm a grammar Nazi.
Just bought my first sax (Baritone, for 6oth birthday) ....and a Tenor sax a few weeks later, love playing both. Long way to go but it is fun! Lovin the tone of this Mathew.
Great comment talbot
Absolutely beautiful! I am just about to add this to my repertoire. Thank you so much!
Beautiful. Simply beautiful. Cudos to you sir.
what a sound !!!! Love it !
Beautiful! Thank you for your music.
Magical moments. Love every nuanced highs and lows
Great song, great music for a great musician.
Thank you Matthew stone.
I could listen to this all day. Just starting out, hope I can sound like this one day.
Some say UA-cam is bad for the music industry , but without it I would have never found one of my new favorite tenor sax players. I can't think of a better player for slow jazz songs.
You're honestly amazing, I sincerely wish you the best on whatever remarkable journey's life takes you on. Best of luck and stick with it, you're doing amazing.
Perfect intonation and lovely melodies in your improv. And definite kudos for not falling back on the blues scale. Very nice work.
I just love this. I've been listening to this for over a year now and just wanted you to know this is my favourite version on saxophone. Of course I really go for Julie London's vocal version.
Those kind never do, but it can make some nice memories like these. Nice story, beautiful tunes.
Amazing and perfect , thanks 🎷
You have an impeccable sense of timing! + & soul! Thanks 4 sharing
Go Matthew....... WOW......You got it man.YEAH. Play on play play play..
BEAUTIFUL tone and skill.
I have played the guitar for 35 years, still do. 3 years ago i started on the sax, first on the alto, for the last 2 years on the tenor. Damn hard instrument. I'm not giving up though! Nice playing and great sound!
Bit the bullit last week Selmer Tenor 1964 mk6 no damage stayed in the family this is the tune for me excellent!
I've been playing a clarinet since 6th grade even though all I ever wanted was to play the saxophone. I'm a junior in high school and the urge of wanting to play has come back. I've been contemplating on whether I should switch or not since I only had 2 years left but listening to you play made me decide to switch, thank you!
Music is a lifelong hobby. Plus if you know how to play clarinet, saxophone will be really easy for you to pick up. The fingers are pretty much the same. I would say go for a try. Never know unless you try.
Its been 2 years already so whats up
Yeah what’s up? I play clarinet and sax both are fun
Don’t contemplate, just do it. It’s loads of fun
vera yeah what happened ?
fantastic sound! Iv'e listened to this and other tunes you have recorded over and over. Love the sound.
Trop beau ! ça vous prend les tripes ! J'écouterai pendant des heures... Quel merveilleux instrument que le saxo !
Beautiful!! WOW!
Awh! Those fond found memories... The Sultry Ms Julie... 1:30 / 2:a.m. and didn't want to fold up shop, as yet anyway... ha! Thanks Matt - Your playing is "top shelf"... Your stimulating memories - well - "out of this world"... Thanks \o/
Real Nice Tone, Phrasing, tone and Breath control A+
Beau discourt, belle sonorité, belle technique, de la belle musique.Un exemple à suivre. Merci.
So beautiful tone and performance... Thanks You for share it!
WOW.. what a sound! Beautiful! :-)
Kind of smooth song one never get enough.
Beautifully played! This is one of the tenor saxophone videos that strengthened my desire to really save up and try to buy and learn to play a tenor saxophone :) I guess the tenor sax will be my second instrument (I'm primarily a pianist), I want to play the tenor sax as beautifully as you :D
Simply beautiful, amazing sound, true skill! I love it! Keep it up!
great and soft dynamic sound
Dear Matthew sonds awesome..bless you and thank you..
Beautiful song, and spotless execution,,,!

Interesting story. It's amazing how a song mark our lives, we spend situations where the music is more than a striking image.
This song is beautiful, I like very much, great interpretation, getting better and the sound of Reference forget it.
Show
Fantastic sounding, thank you so much.
Wow. Thank you. I've been scouring UA-cam, trying to find people with the touch and tone and emotion that first hooked me on the sax three decades ago. Now I've found it. My alto and me don't sound anything like you, but listening to you has given the buzz to pick it up again.
I listened to it 100 times in 7 days i think. I am playing the saxophone for 4 months now 2 hours a day and i am trying to learn your version by ear. Because i love this version.
Smooth as the gloss on a top photographic mag.!!

Muy bueno! A mi me recuerda a la gran interpretación que hace de este tema Diana Krall. Ese arrastre irresistible, mezcla de tristeza y sensualidad a la vez.
Magnífico como siempre!
Sigue así, dignificando al Jazz y al Saxofón!
