@tonyflamingo89632 жыл бұрын
@@peterkelly8357 Yes, and that’s just the problem. When trying to reach this “perceived perfection” you speak of people often forget that emotion is a large part of that goal. At least from how I see it. Music isn’t a trade it’s an art. And while I think the trades can often be a form of art, it’s not the same as the amount of yourself you put out for the world to see when performing music. Okay I just reread that and I just want to say that I am sorry for how try hardy I sounded there. I only wanted to say that I agree with you. So please take that as the message I’m trying to send here.

Ascolto spesso questo pezzo e devo dire che Alain Mendoza è verament un grande Sassofonista. Sono un fan del Maestro "Gato Barbieri", del Maestro "Greg Vail", "Candy Dulfer", "Kenny G" "Sonny Rollins" Ci sono tantissimi grandi maestri di Sax. Consiglio vivamente Charley Langer, Gaby Sax, Sandro Scuoppo, Antoine Foster, Luis Fonsi (Graziatto), Papetti, Francesco Cafiso, Coltrane, ecc.... il sax esprime, passione, forza, energia, sentimento.... ho suonato per tanti anni da giovane, suonato in bande cittadine, frequentato il conservatorio.... poi son passato ad altro strumento..... credo sinceramente che nessuno strumento sia in grado di esprimere passione come un sax.... personalmente preferisco il contralto ed il tenore.... ciao.
