I have been playing this a while (still cannot nail it though) a nice simple blues that I somehow manage to overcomplicate. This short version means I don’t get much time for a slow build up after the head. I don’t think I’ll ever be a good blues player, but I keep trying to improve. All constructive advice gratefully received! My own comments are: Too busy, timing a bit off, and tuning a bit wayward due to tired chops. This is on my otto link HR7 with a 3 reed mouthpiece, for those that care 
Spectacular!! I never get tired of listening to your thems. The soundtrack is of aerbersold?
Genius!!
Sounz Great Man!!…Too Much!..Very smooth, I’m just buildin up again on my Tenor to play the Blues’..Thanx so much bro!..The Doc
What background did you use for this recording?? It’s excellent.
It is a faber play-a-long called I Got Rhythmn, very good it is too,
i absulutly love your music! i subscribed. i play alto sax, but i have been having trouble playing really low notes cleanly? any advice?
ive been playing for about 2 1/3 years. but again, i love your sound!
you are very good.
Your sax may have leaks, also work on proper breath support.
If you have a teacher you can have he/she try your sax and see if it is easy to get the low notes, if not prob a leak. A quick use of a leak light will tell. A proper repair tech can adjust or replace a pad or two and prob get you back into 100% easy playing.
very very good!
Very good !
I would like to play on the same play-back with my tenor ?
What are you using to play ? Aebersold or an other music ?
vary good awesome should give more credit
excellent sax player!!! man! perfect for blues!
It does sound great. I would like to correct you though on the publication/playalong. It is in fact by Faber Music, but this one is called “It Don’t Mean a Thing” for tenor saxophone. I’m glad this came up, because I have the “I Got Rhythm” one that you mention and it isn’t on that one, so in doing my web search I discovered many more playalongs I didn’t know existed before. thanks !
Nice tone. I’m aiming towards that.
I play a yanagisawa tenor and most of the songs I play are the same as your selection. I am an older dude and played when I was very young and took it up again about 5years ago, so, I am still learning. I have one video under sonnywalden, Loverman. Shot with a small camera and no sound equipment. What about sound system? Can you help, James
do you work on technique or just trying to play songs by ear?
C’est vraiment super, j’adore,
J’aimerai avoir la partition .merçi
Great!
I have an otto link too. Those are great.
I am trying to find David Sandborn’s rendition of this classic piece… no dice so far.. obviously I hit your vid in my efforts of finding him… Nice rip btw…
Super Matt,
please tell me how the background (rythm section) is done? Is it “band in the box” or anything else in that way?
I love this song…Sinatra sang it sooo great..others too..a new version of Katie Melua… your performance again is AWESOME!!!*****

I’m not a sax player, but I found this after being subjected to 4 hours of industrial jazz at the radio station I work for and had a hungering for something bluesy. It did the trick for me (though admittedly I was jonesing). It does occasionaly seem a little rushed, but it was enjoyable to hear at least.
I love your tone and style. I played an old Conn tenor for years with metal mouth piece. Thanks for sharing your are GREAT!!
Hey man, you have the lead sheet for this? What key did you end up playing this in?
