The best version on a wind instrument by far. So much attention to detail. To involving the listener An improvisation that anyone can get into.... The tone. It's all perfect! Bravo! Inspirational!

C'est superbe! Merci Alex.
You sont nées a camera man your are The sound .

You sound amazing on all the saxes you play. Nevertheless I'd like to encourage you to also record on clarinet every now and then, since you belong to the few clarinetists out there that make it really happen some kind of magic in the sound together with a high dexterity that preserves musicality.

What a beautiful sound. Thank you for posting this!

Hi Alex, please make another clarinet video. In my opinion you have one of the most beautiful and elegant sounds I've heard. Please don't neglect the clarinet. You sound awesome and at the same time I get encouraged by listening to you with my playing. Keep it up. By the way I've changed to a B45 88 profile and has opened up my sound very nicely. Thanks

Great everything!!! So enjoyable! Thank you!

Hi Axel again. I want to tell you that I usually listen to your performance of Ceora when I want to experiment the joy of music and the joy of life!
I want to thank Lee Morgan for his creation and to thank you for your great performance. I can be repeated but I can't help listening and listening this jewel.
English is my secong language and it was a bit hard to express this feelings in english.

Maybe you could produce a rendition of The Island by Lins?
It would suit your tone colour and control...
Very promising.

[jaimesarasal]

What microphone and audio interface were you using for this record? May I dare to say a Neuman TLM 103?

[jaimesarasal]

Where did you get the inspiration to play such beautiful melodic lines? Did you play them just off the cuff or did you make a little preparation (some particular scale, lick, etc)? Excuse my being so persistent, but I'd love to hear you playing another jazz standard with the clarinet. It's inspiring.

[jaimesarasal]

I've enjoyed every single note of this performance. This is how clarinet should be played. By the way, what setup were you using?
I use Vandoren B40 & Vandoren traditional reeds nº3.
I'm looking forward to watching more of your clarinet videos.

Really nice playing, but sounds too much like trying to copy Eddie Daniels. I think you should try to do something more original with all that ability.
