This is really interesting because Andrey and I grew up playing in very similar ways. Not playing well at all at the start, couldn't read music, couldn't improvise. And then we both had a teacher who made us grow into better players, and through hard work and practice we have come very far from what we were. But wow, what a tone he has on that thing. That guy is going places.
Hey Jay, Thanks for posting Andre’s story of faith unedited (allowing him to connect his Artistry with his faith in God without hindrance).
Hey Jay, where can I get one of your Bettersax Tee-shirts, I want to wear one when I'm jamming on the beach with my EAS112 Alto...
I love Andre! I ran into him in Orlando at IKEA of all places and he was very kind and introduced him to my family. I love seeing him get more recognition as I think he is one of the best alto players right now. With his story and talent he could win AGT.
This was one of the most encouraging videos I have seen in a long while .
Both in terms of the musicians determination to get better at sax and the generosity of the human spirit and the strength of faith in Gods providence . Great testimony 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
He deserves all the good things that have, and are still coming to him! - What a beautiful player (and soul) Bob James sounds like an incredible human as well - although one might have guessed this from his music too 😊 Thanks Jay!
Absolutely love his tone :)
Also, shout out to Bob James for being such a wonderful human being.. wow..
Very inspirational indeed! This is the kind of news the world needs more of. Not to mention his chops! Yowza!
Extremely moving. Thank you, Jay, for sharing this with us and introducing us to Andrey. Thank you, Andrey, for sharing your story and for your humility, grace and perseverance in the face of extreme adversity. And thank you, Bob James, for all you've done to help Andrey survive and accomplish his dreams. This is what it's all about.
Willie, I totally agree. What an amazing story. God’s grace for this young man is an amazing blessing. Jay nailed it when he said “ with all the adversity from where Andrey started and did not give up “ is a testament to all of us who inspire to be a better player/musician, or anything else, bottom line,.. do not quit or give up. Andrey’s faith in God and belief persevered, to greatness.
Oh man, that story touched me! Thanks @Better Sax!
Andrey is hands down my favorite saxophone player right now. I think he revolutionized the instrument and introduced something genuinely new and fresh to the scene.
Incredible video!
Andrey is the best. God bless you
Jay, thank you so much for this interview. Andrey has been my mentor since I heard him collaborating with other great musicians with the cover “it is well”. After listening to him, I have been following him till now. He has inspired me more today in my saxophone journey and it is always my dream to play with him one day.
Wow! So inspiring. I've been listening to this guy for some years now and his story is as beautiful as his music. Great job Jay 👍
Thank God for musicians like Andrey Chmut!
Jay, you're my only teacher, but you're so much more. Thanks for this inspiring video.
Fantastic post Jay~ excellent content cheers
Amazing Jay, Andrew is a great sax player and is so good to know his life and testimony. God bless you man.
You’re a blessing Andrey!!!
Hey Jay, thanks for sharing this. What a wonderful, humble man and a superb sax player too. I shall start to follow him. Such a nice person.
So beautiful testimony!!! Thanks!!! 💙🎶
❤The most important video I’ve watch in a very long time ❤
Incredible. Thanks for sharing Jay. This is one of the best interviews on UA-cam or any place else. Another massive thank you to Bob James who clearly has one of the greatest qualities of a human being, a heart for others.❤
Amazing grace. Wonderful player and inspiring🎉
Thanks Jay for sharing this story.
🥲 right in the feels ... and what an incredibly skillful and emotional player!!!
🎶🎷❤
Thank you Andrey and Jay, very inspiring
Reading the comments and it takes me back to Ukraine when I started playing sax around 80. It was just classical because jazz was actually prohibited and there was time when people was jailed for playing jazz. My parents spend a lot of money to buy tenor sax from at that time Czechoslovakia Amati super classic because Soviet union wood winds instrument was terrible and my teacher demand a good instrument because he told my parents if I play bad instrument I will hate to play it. I enjoy playing it but when I finished school I stopped playing because usually at that time during Soviet union time it was a strange think to play any kind of instrument for yourself to enjoy it if you was not a musician. And I stopped. When i moved to Canada at 90 i was amazed to see how different it was compering to the culter i was brought up. In canada or usa we have more people playing music who are not professional musicians. And its great. Couple years ago I buy alto sax and start playing once again. Now it just jazz. I am 50 now and it's so sad we don't have that opportunity back then to enjoy playing jazz. I know a lot of people from ukraine or other former soviet inion republics who after they moved to canada or usa start playing music again. Thanks for the interview. Its inspiring.
Very inspiring
Wow. What an amazing testimony. So inspiring.
Thank you for video about Andrii Chmut ❤
Thank you ! Its incredible story!
Incredible! He plays so well! I bought my sax in Kyiv (in 1995) and did shows in prisons all around Ukraine (L'viv, Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Odesa, Donetsk, ... ) Я родом із Чикаго, але 10 років жив в Україні. Бережи вас Бог, Андрій!
God is good, Andrei! Thank you, Jay, for sharing this artist and his miracle story! You are right. No one has excuses.
Such a beautiful story. Thanks Jay for this interview!
Praise God for his testimony. May Jesus touch the heart of the leader of this channel as well.
I have started to learn to play at 60 😊
I am inspired by Andrey's story. Thank you!
Hi Jay! Another inspiring interview .of this amazing sax player. Very touching.Thank you so much!
Absolute Master!!!
What an amazing story! My grandson loves the sax. In school, they kept switching him to different instruments just because the band was short of those particular instruments. He finally got frustrated and dropped out of band. So sad how the schools treat students.
That's very sad... I'm sorry that happened. Band directors are like that, they need students to play instruments they need in the group. Sometimes it works out and the kid ends up liking that instrument, but sometimes the kid hates it, and drops out of band. Hopefully one day your grandson can get a hold of a saxophone and learn to love playing it.
Beautiful story!
Maravillosa historia!!!
Excelente sound!!
Bendiciones a los 3..!😊😊😊
Bravo Andrey 👏 Praise God 🙌
Awesome story! Lot of hard work!
wow what a story i want to play like him someday i play alto sax myself ive been going to practice for almost a year down in middletown delaware i want to play in a little band someday thats been my dream since i turned 40 im now 41 i want to play for the rest of my life that's how much i love the saxophone thanks andrey for sharing your story with jay your truly an inspiration and god works in mysterious ways just keep practicing and i'll someday be like you andrey maybe meet you in person and play god bless thanks jay for that interview.
Gran historia… uffff… increíble!! Que bien!! Bendecido muchacho!!
This is such a great life story! His faith in what he wanted to become has brought him to live and inspire others. Also, a reminder of when it is your time , you will find what to do. Remember your path has many roads and God will lead you to that which you need.
Good job better sax!!!👏👏👏

Ukrainians are wonderful people! I'm a Pole, I know many of them, two Ukrainians are guests in my home right now. Slava Ukrainie, heroyam slava!
Thanks for helping Ukrainian people! People of Poland are the best! Slava for Poland and your great people!!!
❤🇺🇦
Inspiring .. Slava Ukraini!
Нацистский лозунг. Вы ужасны.
🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Ukraine has got more of a classic saxophone tradition, than a Jazz one. There was a time, when Ukraine was a part of USSR, when saxophone was nearly prohibited, due to it's being considered a western instrument, that spoiled soviet people
So it might not be such a good thing if Ukraine once again becomes part of Russia?
Jay, thank you for that wonderful and inspiring interview. We've all felt the same things he went through as we've experienced our saxophone journeys. God bless and keep my beautiful Ukranian brother.
Украинского брата... ))
