This is one of my favorite songs on his album My American Songbook. Nelson Rangell is outstanding with this song. His talent in playing flute seems almost supernatural.
it you like jazz then keep supporting it and tesch your children at a young age to enjoy. americans say they love jazz,yet it is us(eeuropeans) that support jazz the most. stop listenimg to rap and rock so much and expand yourself and support jazz so it can stay forever...thank you mr. rangell for you difficult work and making it seem so easy. what a gift to have
why isnt he more known i wonder. he's a brilliant composer and a virtuoso player. i love songs such as "new avengers" and all his songs on the flute. he's so unique and inspiring. thanks for posting this video.
Is amazing that he can play all his horns so damm good. I know he excels in all, but his piccolo flute work is outstanding. And if you did not know, he can whistle with majestry. He used to play also with latinamerican singer Franco de Vita. My standing ovation for Nelson.
He is fantastic live. I've seen him quite a few times and he signed my CD, the first one I bought of his which was about 17 years ago. He used to perform in London every year but we haven't seen him around for quite a number of years now. I shouldn't have taken his many visits for granted, boo hoo.
I bought his very first LP(then) because I loved how the saxman appeared on the cover. The very first note he blew told me that he was/is the man. On sax, flute (his major in training ) and piccolo he is the man. High notes played melodically and harmonically are his forte. Listen to Reasons or A House is not a Home.One of the greatest soprano saxists. Nelson is a neo-jazz purist who happens to play pop/r&b commercially without sacrificing the jazz language.Stanley Turrentine comes to mind in that regard; their performance philosophy - not their style.
I bought several of Nelson's CDs back in the 90's, but haven't listened to them for a long time. Big mistake. This man is unassailable on the flute and his sax work is second to none. His Blue and Red albums are fine listening, indeed.
