What is this tune?

[Pete Thomas]

How long does it take to identify this (very) famous tune?

(PS: please don't give away the answer in the thread)

I have no idea what the name is!
I don't know...Approx. 45 -50 seconds the thought came to me.

However, it is played very lovely! Quite laconically I might add!

 

[BigMartin]

About 2 bars after the sax entry. I like it!

yeah I got it the first measure( I have the CD) , lovely sound and the sound of the water is a nice attribute!

Embarassing. I have the CD, love the tune. But like so many other pieces of music, I've no idea what it's called. Thought I recognised the player. But wasn't sure. Didn't even connect it with the CD, though I play it often.

I knew I knew it by 38 seconds, but it took several attempts to realize what it was!

 

[Young Col]

If it's what I think it is, it's very different to the version I have and in a very different tempo!

Very creative adaptation of a familiar melody and tasteful improvisation as well. Thanks for sharing this with us.
