This is a simply breath-taking cover of the Ray Charles classic, covered here by Marty Paoletta. You can hear all the warmness of the alto saxophone in this song, halped along by some truly inspired playing.
In Marty's youtube account he says: "I get asked frequently how I am able to get the Sanborn tone. Believe me, I worked on it for months as a young musician. I finally figured out a couple of things, mainly to keep your mouth cavity wide open and let the reed vibrate naturally. The rest is just feel and passion. "
Hopefully beginner saxophonists wn't be put off, but rather motivated to keep up the practice and get this good!
