I felt transported…happy Sunday..
Thanks Mimi. Me too. These guys are amazing.
Wow. My little alto sax had dreams of being this good in high school. Sadly, no.
🙂 But such admirable intentions…
Very soothing. A nice way to wake up on a Sunday morning.
Soothing Sunday piece. I agree.
I appreciate you letting me know about the Amstel Quartet, David. They are getting my Sunday morning off to a beautiful, thoughtful, melodious start. Also, this is reminding met that I used to love and listen to a jazz saxophone chorus (whose name is escaping me, right now). Thanks for all of it.
Yes Ann. I was transported by this music as well and it too started off my Sunday morning in a good place. Thank you.

Thanks Beth, it was for me too…
Simply beautiful David, when you shut your eyes and listen you can go just about anywhere drifting in the music!
