Steemit Open Mic Week 51 - My One and Only Love
This is one of my favorite ballads. According to Wikipedia, it was written by Guy Wood and published in 1952. It became a jazz standard and was recorded by many of my tenor saxophone heroes like John Coltrane, Michael Brecker and Joshua Redman. I'm playing along to a rhythm section track provided by LearnJazzStandards.com. Hope you enjoy it!

really like that tune!
Thank you for checking it out!
Great!
wow brother, you are the first saxophonist I came across. I am so please to meet a talent like you.
Thank you, that's nice of you to say. It's lonely as a saxophonist in this contest of so many singer/songwriters :)
I am not a singer myself too...that makes the two of us...
Oh man, this is beautiful. I need to learn the sax one day. :) Inspirational.
very nice and relaxing
Thanks for listening. Glad you liked it.
Nice tone man. Enjoyed listening. I have a soprano that I inherited, but am really more a guitar man. I would love to have a tenor though. I studied clarinet for 3 years, mostly because it got me in the school band and I didn't want to play violin (I had perfect pitch), not a good look in a tough boys school. So I blow the sax occasionally when no ones listening lol. You make me want to swap the soprano for a tenor though:)
Soprano's cool too. I looked at your blog and saw you were in Cologne recently. Did you check out Papa Joe's jazz club? It's a great atmosphere there.
No, didn't know about it, what a shame, was a long day so we just had one quiet night, but would have loved to have gone.
Smooth, cool, and enchanting - what a great performance, man!
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Classic one. Wish I had learned sax.
It's never too late to learn :)
