I took several "snap shots" of the sax with print screen. looks like a MKVI to me. I did enjoy the video. Thanx!
 
Sorry John

Don't care what kind of sax, it's just a joy to listen to such a smooooth piece, and you don't need an excuse to post a link like this on the cafe🙂))john

Hey gladsaxisme. I totally agree with you and thanks. For some reason his tone just caught me more than a lot of MKVI's that I have heard through the years. And the band is excellent!

We use to play that song a lot but got away from it since no one danced to it. More of a "listening while having a good drink" type of song. 🙂 Still like it.

Hi guys,
Deffinately not a BA crook. It sounds so good, I'm tempted to chase up my old buddy, who has a1957 Mk6. (last I heard, not played since 1960!) and make him an offer he can't refuse. My wife has been on at me to do this for months. She has even been on the internet and found his new address. So I'm coming back next week on a mission.

johnboy.

Did you work out the score yourself or is it published? I'd love to add this to our set list....

I don't have Smooth Operator, but I do have Your Love is King knocking around somewhere - there's a nice little sax riff at the start which I presume was by the same player.
