Sweet version of this classic. Very nice!

[joelmcneil]

When really good players play a song, you don't just hear the song, you FEEL the song. I felt that song!!

[painterluke]

interesting how these simple songs with a simple story resonate throughout the years for people of all cultures who find them a challenge to interpret, yet stay within the song as it was written. they challenge the true musician who wishes to absorb their simplicity without jumping all over the place using gimmicks to replace true talent. the oriental people find these songs a real challenge, perhaps because their lives revovle around simplicity.

[ferreiraronald]

Only someoe with a beautiful and sensitive soul can play such a beautiful and sensitive sax solo. I can't stop replaying this truely lovely version over and over again.

[ferreiraronald]

Wonderful version of this soulful and romantic song played with sensitivity by this group, the sax solo is great.

[ferreiraronald]

Exquisite solo by the lady on the sax.
