    As a fellow musician and singer, I can say that it is incredibly hard to sustain and maintain such a high level of energy when you are playing a pop song like this with no singer. The sax player on the right has so much swag, and attitude to his playing that I could totally listen to this version on a regular basis. This is great musician ship and stage presence and I’m really glad I found this video. If you are any sort of instrumentalist, you can learn a lot from this guy

      Disagree: Alto 1 brings too much energy, it's an overload. He's breaking the balance of the song by playing everything too loud and adding a too-pop vibrato/embrochure over a Funky song (Funk sax ≠ pop sax). He is in the line that separates music and noise, and, from My perspective, he crossed it a bit

    I'm Nil and I had Mr Clark when I was in band at Corner Canyon HS and let me tell you that he was the best teacher. I'm from Spain, and I came to America with a really low clarinet level. Music didn't really ment anything to me till I see how fun it can be. I don't know if he remembers me, but he made me love music. Maybe this dpesn't mean anything to anyone, but I think he sould be really proud of his job and what he is doing with all those kids. I hope I'll meet you in the future.
    Thanks for everything!!
