Angel Eyes on Tenor Sax
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- A great slow bluesy tune, composed by Matt Dennis, with lyrics by Earl Brent. It was first used in the 1953 film, Jennifer.
This is on a new mouthpiece, a Jody Jazz HR7* It is an easy blow compared to the link, and a little less stuffy. Still getting used to it, so apologies for the odd tuning problem
Half cut off bourbon whiskey, sitting here, watching the smoke from my cigar whirl around in the twinkling light, I wonder, what happened. Why am I here. Why am I not cruising around the streets of Los Angeles in my 46 Lincoln Continental? Top down. Heading to my favorite club. Why am I living in 2016 and not the 40's where I belong. I wonder.....
This was the first jazz tune I ever heard when I was 13 just starting on saxophone, and it was from your video. Now I play this tune all the time at my gigs and jams. Thanks for the inspiration!
A masterful performance! You did such a great job showing restraint - masterful restraint. So unhurried, so lyrical - excellent!
Man, this is where it's at. You did this song up right. I listen to it before I go to bed at night. Well done, sir!
This is absolutely gorgeous. such an emotional song!
The tenor saxophone sound-voice... beautiful!
Definitely one of the best versions of the song that I have ever heard. Great job man.
beautiful instrument!
I fell in love with this song years ago listening to Frank Sinatra who did a great version, then I heard this by Mattew Stone and new this song was written for the tenor sax and this version reaches down to the depths of the blues. Thank you, George Traganos
Love your tone, and style...haunting--mysterious....GREAT!
This is an awesome performance. I dream that someday I wil play like that. So here is the deal. When I see videos like this I am inspired to work harder. And when I see encourageing comments like some on here it makes me listen better. Thanks to all
I Love this KinD of TUNE!!!! BRAVO!!!!
one of the most sensuous interpretations of this sensuous tune . Always happy to find you are playing a tune I want to study . thank you for posting
Sounds better than most well known musicians. Its two beauties at the same time - beautiful composition, beautifully played. Go on crazydaisydoo, keep the world so happy. A warm hug to you.
Amazing sound. I play tenor, but I can't get a sound quite that smooth. Very well done!
I’ll be listening more, I liked it. 🎼🎷😃
Beautiful!
Matt...I think I may have been one of your very first listeners right after you signed up here. I remember your first saxophone upload, and all I can say is..."You've Come A Long Way, Baby". You're getting a nice professional sound these days. In the beginning I thought this might be a hobby you were just toying around with, but you've pleasantly surprised me with the amount of dedication and steady effort you've put into it from day one. It's clearly paying off.
This is your best so far...

Como todas magnifico, la he escuchado un montón de veces pero hoy escribo el comentario, enhorabuena y gracias por hacernos gozar con tus interpretaciones.
Thanks man! This music became so important to me and my friends cause I used it as a soundtrack to my RPG campaign! It is really amazing, thank you again!
I so dig this. What an awesome job. I wish i had this kind of talent.
Sweet..Just sweet Matt.
Oh, Matthew you are making me REALLY want to get a tenor(as well)...that is gorgeous! Your progress has been awesome.

Impresionante con el tenor, regards
That is really cool I don't understand why it only has 29594 views!!!you are soooo great
very nice i think i may have to play this for one of our jazz band ballads even though we did a few years back on clarinet GO SAX
Hi Matthew! We seem to love the same songs. This is another one of your great "late night jazz club" titles. You must make a CD "jazz for melancholic lovers :-) ...
The new mpc sounds good.
Awesome as usual.
This is soooo nice...
2 Thumb Up!
Angel Eyes has such a beautifully written melody. Thanks for your keeping true to the melody and just adding a bit of your own flavor.
I have heard so many other versions where the actual melody gets lost by the musician because they get too absorbed into their own interpretation. That may be okay on some tunes but for me, I just personally love the melody Angel Eyes as written. Thanks again. Nice work!
Wonderful!
Excelent tone man! Nice job thanks !
This cat can play ..... beautiful tone quality and nice chops man !
Peace -
TC~
This is a sublime performance! I just love jamming to it. Would you mind if I upload a video of me jamming to this on my guitar (only when I think I could do justice to this!)?
Inspiring!
Very nice, I played it on my chromatic harmonica but faster, the sound of saxophone is so rich!
Nice sound and style
Wow! Yes, I too am inspired to practice more. Wish I could get that good a response in the low register. I tried a JJ on alto but like the VanDorens better. The VanDorens on tenor are pretty good too. Anyway, keep it coming man !
Hey Matt when are you going to cut a cd ? I never get tired of this man! Hope the new year is starting just right for you. Thank you for posting..
Get on itunes, I will buy this!
Nice.
Wow...Amazing sound. I just ordered a JJHR7* and I hope i can subtone like that
:)
Very cool.
Love your playing... it is some of the best on the tube. I love to play along with you, as I pratice. What is a good clip on mic for a tenor? Thanks CDD and keep em coming.
Slow and sultry are some of my favourite things. I could listen to this all day! With the mic's, is there much difference between the 2? Over here the SM57 (on sale) us 1/3 the price of the NT2a
Nice! Where’s my fedora?
Try searching UA-cam for "Angel Eyes Backing Track in Am with Sax Solo" There is also one in Dm and one "for Melody Instruments in Am"
Weres the "love" button when you need one :/
Wonderful! Love your tone. What kind of mouthpiece, reed, do you use?
Where can I find the music sheets for this song? It is beautiful. Is it in an Ingersol book? thanks
Great Video as always! How long does it take to create a new video?
Hi, I watched you clip over 100 times, it`s so gread sound and play! Anyway, can you pls tell me where can I find that backing track? I would appreciate your help very much!!! Thanks :)
Sounds great. Can you name some of your influences?
This is a part of music I'd love to get more familiar with, but don't know where to start out exactly.
Hi Matthew great playing! I'm still learning, are you using the subtone technique to get the smooth airy loose sound, especially on the lower notes?
grandmasterflash213 Yes
Awesome just Awesome.
Where did crazydaisydoo come from?
Question: Where can I buy your CD, please tell me you have a CD...... The World needs to enjoy your Music.
Oh, I just noticed, you have two mic's set up. One high and one low. Please explain ? Thanks !
I agree with Ryan, except i wouldn't have a cigar, I would have a slinky red dress on, and....... Hmmmmmm
lookin at Matt's other clips, he probably is using Jamey Aebersold
@crazypianolady I'd also like to know that !
Where did you get the backing track from? Do you think I could have a copy? :D
a sea of sugar
Hey Man--Thats beautiful-but gene ammons s the "BOMB"
where can I buy the music sheet ? thank you
any g answer on thetr backing track awesom
BIG O?
where can i find the accompaniment and sheet music??
Sergey Brazhnik on You Tube, click "videos"
too bad Charlie Parker never played like this...he would a been much better if he toned it down and played nice music like this:)
altologist:
Charles played alto saxophone - the best within the confines of any rhythm (and mood)
He once substituted on tenor saxophone for the great Budd Johnson in the Earl Hinds Band.
Oh, what a masterful tenor saxophonist was he! Talk about beauty! Awesome!
"The best was Charlie Parker", said even Ben Webster, himself one of the most lyrical saxophonists.
I know that you know better but merely want to be provocative; which is your right.
What is it about the music (above) that you appreciate?
Be kind enough to share your musical thoughts; won't you?
its a tennor
