      @@gregfolland8452 the best part is he can play wickedly blazing fast lines with amazing voicing and melody, improv or other wise while keeping such a beautiful consistent tone and then he can play ballads like this one with such buttery smooth perfect tenor tone its insane. Truly a master of the sax and jazz

    I only wish the average listener could understand how hard it is to play a ballad on tenor(actually on any instrument) at this level. Chad is unbelievable. He makes it seem effortless. But saxophonists know how much work and dedication Chad must have put into his craft to be able to sound like this. Clearly he has dedicated his heart and soul to playing the saxophone. I have nothing but respect for this brilliant artist.

    Chad Lefkowitz-Brown, you are a really great tenor player. It is unfortunate that only 3.3k watched.......if you screamed unintelligible crap whilst accompanying yourself on a ukuele naked, you'd would probably have got 333k. Life's not fair, but please don't stop making such brilliant music!

    • @TheCabbageMan
      @TheCabbageMan 5 років тому +9

      but the the people that matter can see Chad is an insane player, one of the best modern day jazz saxophonists and the people who's opinions matter (the educated musicians) know chad is a literal god, while naked ukulele girl is just another copy pasta 1 chord wonder and when their 15 mins of fame is done they vanish but Chad and his following stays for life.
