Lucy's by Mindi Abair

- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- Saxophonist Mindi Abair has reached that critical juncture. After more than a decade of performing, songwriting and recording, she has taken a step back from the more polished sensibilities of contemporary jazz and embraced the sounds of past decades -- specifically the '60s and early '70s, a period widely regarded as the golden age of R&B, soul and funk. The result is In Hi-Fi Stereo. The album captures the raw and edgy aesthetic of that golden age, when a slab of vinyl could instantaneously put band and listener together in the same room and establish a visceral and enduring connection. Loaded with infectious grooves generated by a high-caliber crew of players, In Hi-Fi Stereo rekindles that spark for a new generation of ears.
I once heard my mother play this song in the car on the way back home from a long day. We had travelled a ways to get where we were. Don't even remember what we were doing. I just remember that safe feeling you get when you're truly winded and someone else is taking you home. I fell asleep listening to this specific song while we were passing through a mountain tunnel. A magical experience in my life.
Mindi Abair. simply superb!
I love it. There's something very melodic about the saxophone, and Mindi makes it sing.
Gorgeous. One of the few musicians who plays and sings as beautifully in studio as in person.
Infreakincredible😜♥️
One of the greatest artist in this genre and she is beautiful too
Beautiful and very talented. I lost count how many times, listening to their performances.
There is nothing better than hearing a awesome saxophone.
Great sound
LOVE her music!!!
How can anyone say anything negative about Mindi's playing ability? The girl plays that Sax like nobodys business. After winning a meet and greet luncheon with her on two different occasions I find that she is a very down to earth and a fine young lady! Keep jammin like you know how Mindi!
Great song.
I saw her in person awesome player
Lovely!!
My first fav by Mindi.
Me too 👍
I just love this cut and enjoy it every time I hear it. What a talent!
Jest cudowna !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jest Ok.
Dope as hell❤
Beautiful
I remember listening to that song when I was five. I first heard that on 94.7 KSSJ. KSSJ is gone. I wish it returned. We haven't listened to KSSJ music in a long time. I put it on my KEDJN Volume 4 CD to honor the tenth anniversary of Mindi Abair's second CD, It Just Happens This Way. She's heard a lot on the radio. Lucy's is a very big radio hit.
That is one talented Chick! Love this song!
A while back I got tired of listening to rock and so I switched over to jazz for a while. I'm back on rock now, but I still love listening to Mindi Abair.
I hear you songs all the time on the radio. 106.3 the seabreeze
❤✌🤘🌹🔥 love it🎷Beautiful and very talented Such a gem,
The best saxophone player of our present Time
We played this gem on KKSF back in the day. It always made my day when it was scheduled on my show. Mindi you ARE pretty damn good for a girl.
👍💐🤗Simply divine
So I was in my local Fred Meyer department store last night, and what do I hear over the PA but this very recording! I couldn't help but hum/sing along. It was such a treat to hear this -- it's my second favorite song from the set!
Amazing!!💕😇💕
Love. It. Great job!!!

Such a gem of a song. Love this.
I can’t get this song out of my head. Lucky me.
Yes real good is right. I saw Mindi in concert and she was great.
Heard this on jazz FM and looked her up, great artist and i really need to get another album of hers soon
If u go to see her, u will see that she is INDEED this talented. Go Mindi!!
Love this simple groove...awesome....:)
Wow, impressive performance. She's playing the sax very fluently. I like this song. :-)
Wow!!! I am glad to see Mindi's success! Mindi would sit in as a sub for our reguler sax player Dixie Dawkens at a moments notice, AND was able to improvise without even knowing some songs. What a great talent and a great sport!
💕Beautiful 🎶👌
Most excellent, always Loved this tune. She is so good you can't help but want to hear more.
It would be pretty cool if Mindi did a live album and put this version of Lucy's on it.
One of my favorite jazz songs!!!
I gotta get this album.
Love this piece.
Thats right Al she is truly amazing!!!!
So i totally met Mindi in Orlando and played on stage with her :)
Great Live Mindis a great performer..
Me gusta el trabajo artistico de Mindi, su dominio en el saxofón y su carisma artístico. I am your fan Mindi. So wonderful your artistic work.
Loved her for years!! She's also one of the nicest people you'll meet in the music biz!
I BELIEVE THIS GIRL IS ONE OF THE BEST SAX PLAYERS EVER.AS FOR HER SMILL WHAT A RAY OF SUNSHINE.
Mindy can play a breathy sax some of the best I have ever listened to.

Love this! My 11-year-old daughter is playing alto sax and I want her to continue on and play like you!
Love this song!
She is just divine, my new favorite performer!
Awesome. She is great on the Sax and totally rocks. Try listening to Joyce Cooling on guitar, another great lady.
@@michaelprosperity3420 Thanks, will do!

Jesus is a sure foundation. When you build your life on Jesus you will not be moved. You may shake, you may bend but you will not break. Trust in the Lord, in His arms you will find salvation, peace, joy, wisdom, and protection. Praise the Lord, Hallelujah to the King
That was a swell performance Mindi

🧡❤️🔥🖤
She is appearing at The Canyon in Agoura, CA on Sept. 14, 2011. Come on out.
@smleek1969 You are so lucky! I wonder when she's coming to Michigan. I hope she plays "Smile" at the concert you are attending of hers.
Heard this on Dave Koz radio from Pandora.
im not trying to hate but i was not expecting that sound to come out of her sax and i know shes only sayin one word but she has a nice voice too. i give her props for entering a music genre that is over run by men and she does it well.
I never realized she still had that hot voice when older.
Only just got in to the saxophone from bass guitar and she’s an inspiration
Go out and get this album! You wont be disappointed.
i love you mindi
da da da da da da da da da.... da da da da da... :)
How could this woman not be a monster in music? Is she and I don't know it?
I want to see a Simpson's episode with Lisa & Mindi jammin'
I do like Mindi. She's certainly easy on the eyes and pretty talented on the sax. She's almost as pretty and as talented as Candy Dulfer. Let's face it, we can't have too many beautiful, talented women in this world, am I right?
DE ARGENTINA PILAR BUENOS AIRES
So which was first: this song or Maroon 5's "She Will be Loved"? The notes seem awfully similar.
