Jazz becomes classical music...... priceless😀
Paul Desmond would be proud to hear that beautiful rendition on the Sax. They played it beautifully right down to keeping it in the original 5/4 time.
She plays the sax very well, I like it !!
Femke, you got the spirit of the original composer. Congratulations!
Great to hear an alto sax with such a pure sound. I love it. Never heard of her, but knew about Candy Dulfer. Prefer Femke's sound, but both are awesome players.
Some peeps are just gifted. Great Job including the North Netherlands Orchestra.
AWESOME!!
You're Truly a great Alto player!! I'm not blaming you, but I'm Very Confused, as to who started this Rumor about Dave Brubeck being the Composer of Take Five??! When I was Very young, I attended a concert by D. Brubeck in Abadan, Iran and during the break, He spent a couple of minutes with us. He Clearly told me that, "Take Five" was indeed entirely Composed by the great Alto Sax Player, Paul Desmond, and not by himself (Brubeck)!! It's quite unfair to not give Credit to Paul Desmond, when Brubeck himself admitted to the aforementioned fact!!
Thank You so much, and what an impressive Orchestra, also I'm certain that my comment won't be one that you'll like, but truth and Justice means everything to me. And besides, Paul Desmond isn't around to defend his famous composition!! 😊
Femki me declaro fan #1
As a river flow thanks
Top!
Fantastic, so so beautiful tone, you gv new meaning to the sweet classics when the music are still sweet and beautiful. I was depressed because people seemed to forget the pre 1980 music, but now happy to say a single person cud create such beautiful tones as Mantovani, Bert kaemptfurt, Louis Armstrong etc. Pls tell us here how to order your music video at higher fidelity and resolution. Now i cud hv new beautiful music to play at night to the dearn - from Singapore
