WOW! Your playing and that horn really is so BOSS! Wow! US$ 800? That really is a hellava deal! Those Chinese saxes are getting better, like their Taiwanese competitors. Cheers on your video! I already have a Selmer Reference 54 Alto, but I wouldn’t mind putting money on that horn as well.

Mr.Henry Gad, that there is a warm sounding, highly desirable combination you got going on! Forgive me for lack of knowledge but what is the first song you play at 2:45 before "Body & soul? From memory I can hum along with it but what is it ?! I hate when I hear a song and can't recall the artist! Thank you for sharing your musical gift and passion with the world.
