Sad to hear of his passing. Extremely talented man, Your musicianship lives on RUclips to be admired for years to come. God bless and Thank you. My condolences to your family RIP Mr Graves.
Rip Mr Graves. You are and will continue to be a huge inspiration to me. Huge loss to those of us that admired your playing. My deepest condolences to your family. Thank for sharing the beauty of your music.
Vladimir Lopez..I’m glad that you share my musical appreciation for Mr. Aubra Graves... As a 30 year+ veteran of the Tenor Saxophone myself ...clearly I still need to learn how to blow my horn 👍❤️
No Saxaphonist...dead or alive can articulate a song like this man. The perfect Ballroom vibe...and his phrasing is unmatched. You willed be missed! SIP!
I would like a father like him, someone to listen me, to teach me how to play saxophone someone to be my dad. But unfortunately I grew up hearing that I was useless and only after my 40s I decided to buy my first saxophone and now I am living like a man. Today I am a engineer, a have a wonderful family And five years ago when I spoke to my father for the last time he said to me like this " to me you are still useless".
How lucky you are to have an iconic dad like Mr.Graves 🥰 Rest in peace 🙇🏻♂️You dad sound still in my heart every morning I woke up🥰 Thanks again to made my everyday happy 🥰🙇🏻♂️
I listen almost every day to some of the songs he has on RUclips. What a great talent. The family should be proud of all of the enjoyment he has given to all of us who love Jazz. Thank You Ray
Truly an artist , not for money or glory, or how many tricks that can be done , but to show us what music can sound like, when it is performed from the heart. We are fortunate to be able to see and hear this, in these times. thanks Mr.Graves
I’m watching this from 2023 and this is still going to be my best Misty saxophone Cover and you have been so far my inspiration to continue playing saxophone 🥰🙇🏻♂️
At a time when far too many jazz musicians are intent on simply racing scales through the changes, it's so nice to hear a man make every note and every pause count. Beautiful.
Misty is one of my all time favorite songs and when I heard Mr. Grave's version, I have been enchanted by this song even more. Beautiful rendition. Bravo!!
As a lifelong sax player, you are one of the few that have stirred my passion so profoundly for the instrument. YOU ARE AMAZING! Your playing is now and will always be a source of inspiration for me. I will strive to emulate you for the rest of my playing days. Thank God for you, the internet and youtube for leading me to this.
Aubra Graves,ottimo solista di sax tenore,offre attraverso You Tube,la cristallina qualità delle sue performances,che mettono in risalto la sua bravura e duttilità musicale e so pratutto aggiunge,se mai ve ne era bisogno,una ulteriore riprova che il sax tenore è lo strumento "principe! della musica jazz: Lettore 725580 .
There is so much praise for this (seemingly very humble) fellow, that I thought it superfluous to add my 2 cents worth. But try as I may, I can't hold it back, I just have to let it out: This is just absolutely superb ! There, I feel better now.
I have just started playing the tenor saxophone after having played the clarinet for years (as an amateur). I'm looking for some inspiration, and I sure found one - right here. Stan Getz and Ben Webster might just go home - if they could. This is how a tenor saxophone should sound. Congrats from Norway.
Definitivamente es lo mejor que he visto, es todo un maestro de maestros e intérprete del saxo tenor y alto todo un caballero, un inmenso abrazo al señor Aubra graves y a you tube por darnos el privilegio de verlo y escucharlo.
Кто поставил оценку "не понравилось" - это просто придурки!!!! Это просто ВЕЛИКИЙ тенор -саксофонист...Он играет мелодично и эо самое главное!!! Снимаю шляпу перед вами, mister Aubra!!! Браво!!!
I am playing a selmer Mk V11 (seven) very early ser. no. 242--- has all of the eng. etc. My mouthpiece is a New York 7* otto Link. Thanks for listening. A.Graves
Mr Gaves, definitivamente Ud. es un verdadero saxofonista, se ha convertido para mi, la inspiración y solo deseo que me alcance la vida no para imitarlo sino para escucharlo. De todas sus interpretaciones ninguna, ninguna es desagradable, al contrario escucharlo es relajante. Espero que El Todo Poderoso nos lo tenga por mucho tiempo, además escuchando más de sus interpretaciones.
Sir: Right now it's 3:30 in the morning and I am sitting in my room in Afghanistan. I have been trying to learn the tenor saxophone forever and I must tell you that you are amazing. Thanks for making what seems like a terrible time here sound as if I'm so close to heaven when I close my eyes - Always Silverlions6
Esta es la mejor versión que he escuchado de esta hermosa melodía. Con respeto y admiración lo felicito. Toca formidable este mi instrumento favorito, con sentimiento y gran maestria.
It's close to midnight. I'm watching the moon above my city and I miss sooooo much for my girlfriend because she is far away now... I'm listening your play and I feel misty... Thanks man!
My dear man After trawling through the utter trash in connection with sax and sax players it is nothing short of bliss to come accross your videos and to hear a pro at work. May God grant you many many more years of giving people like me the pleasure of your skills!
Jeden z ładniejszych światowych utworów. I to jeszcze przepięknie zagrany. Nie wiem czy zauważyliście państwo, że ten sam numer, a jak inaczej zagrany przez Stan Getza. Też prześlicznie...
Hello Mr. Graves. You're great. We can feel the love for music and for Jazz coming out of that horn. Dexter and Bird are very present in your playing. You must have incredible stories to tell in such a long career.Keep telling us your stories. But please forget that reverb. It kills your lovely tone. You sound so much greater - and truer- with no electronic effects. Much respect from Portugal José
I agree with the others. This is one more little masterpiece from you! The full tone, the sense of direction, the elegance of the melodic ideas - all this is extraordinary. Thank you for the music, Mr Graves! Ulrich Höbler
He also played a Selmer Mark 7 at least in one video. The sax in this video doesn't like a conn to me. Look at the neck(connecting rod missing...). Mayb you're right, I'm not an expert...
Hi from scotland, your playing is inspiring and I have played on and off for the last thirty odd years, I would be glad to just listen to you for the next thirty! what a player I wish I had your knowledge and your tone. live for evever and keep playing!!
Sad to hear of his passing.
Extremely talented man, Your musicianship lives on RUclips to be admired for years to come.
God bless and Thank you.
My condolences to your family

Descanse en Paz señor Graves, inspiración para los tenoristas, siempre vivirá ese eterno sonido y fraseo que tanto deleite produce. RIP.
This wonderful man is every bit as good as the legendary greats, and better than many. Why hasn’t the world heard about him!
No Saxaphonist...dead or alive can articulate a song like this man. The perfect Ballroom vibe...and his phrasing is unmatched. You willed be missed! SIP!
He's got Stan Getz beat. I just listened to compare them. Thanks Dad💕

Graças a Deus pude encontrar um ser iluminado como este senhor... Vai me inspirar para sempre tentar me aproximar dele! Obrigado Deus!
One of the best interpretations of Misty, congratulations 🎉😅
Truly an artist , not for money or glory, or how many tricks that can be done , but to show us what music can sound like, when it is performed from the heart. We are fortunate to be able to see and hear this, in these times. thanks Mr.Graves
still probably the best version of this song I've ever heard...
and i'm still listening again...and again...Mr Graves, you are smoother than a silk scarf
une mélodie exceptionnelle servie par un artiste tout aussi exceptionnel !! un merveilleux moment....MERCI Maître Graves
I’m watching this from 2023 and this is still going to be my best Misty saxophone Cover and you have been so far my inspiration to continue playing saxophone 🥰🙇🏻♂️
Une des plus belles version de Misty...!!!
At a time when far too many jazz musicians are intent on simply racing scales through the changes, it's so nice to hear a man make every note and every pause count. Beautiful.
I am never bored
2018 and I am still listening to this song. Best sax cover of Misty!
Misty is one of my all time favorite songs and when I heard Mr. Grave's version, I have been enchanted by this song even more. Beautiful rendition. Bravo!!
Sublime Mr Graves...I can't listen to enough of your tracks, have added you to top of my fav's...please keep adding more

With admiration from Switzerland
This guy's playing really touches your heart!!!!!!!!!
Incredible... LOVE listening to Mr. Graves. So beautiful with the best tone and phrasing I've ever heard. Thank you sir.

vous avez eu raison : trop se retenir , c'est mauvais pour le coeur haahahaha !!!
jacques deghorain :
C'est vrai - voila l'ironie (de mots)! yeaah!
It doesn't get better than this... what an amazing tenor player... sweeeeet. Wow!!
mr graves is my inspiration .. he is 4 yrs older than me ,,, I cant play as good as he does ... great sound and fluid fingers..
bobby G............
Wow. Why haven't I heard more from you. You're a hidden treasure.
What a great performer! Thats amazing. Music-art at it's best. Thank you, Aubra Graves.
Mr. Aubra Graves! You play the saxophone beautifully, your expression, sound and freshness are adorably special. Thanks for sharing your art!
さすが、無駄のないリラックスした演奏は歳を重ねて奏でられるものだと実感。ライトも浴びないでも、本当に素晴らしいリヴィングコンサート、心に残るコンサートでした。若いミュージシャンは是非後に続いてほしい。
thank you for this wonderful playing.
I'm just so impressed about how you make a music out of that sax.
I have just started playing the tenor saxophone after having played the clarinet for years (as an amateur). I'm looking for some inspiration, and I sure found one - right here. Stan Getz and Ben Webster might just go home - if they could. This is how a tenor saxophone should sound. Congrats from Norway.

La Mejor versión de Misty en tenor sax que se ha escuchado en el RUclips. Gracias por compartirla . Saludos desde Guatemala, Centroamérica
Splendid in every way. Thanks for that, I don't subscribe to much on You Tube but I will to you, because you are up there with the very best.
Lovely lush sound. Getz lives on !
magnifica versión, de lo mejorcito que he oido
Beautiful tone and execution on this tune, bravo. Best backing track I've heard on youtube.
Ugh, as soon as I saw “misty” in your list...I knew you’d kill it! I just got a sax and you are giving me so much inspiration
Hello Mr. Graves.
You're great.
We can feel the love for music and for Jazz coming out of that horn. Dexter and Bird are very present in your playing. You must have incredible stories to tell in such a long career.Keep telling us your stories. But please forget that reverb. It kills your lovely tone. You sound so much greater - and truer- with no electronic effects.
Much respect from Portugal

Aubre Graves. Canadian master of the ballad.
Texas
It's been said already. Bravo and a encore. SUPER!!!!!!!!
Beautiful execution bravo 👏🎷❤️🙏🍀💫
Simply wonderful to listen too....I'm on a learning curve which has taken me to a new level of listening :)
Oh hello, hidden gem of a musician!
Simply delightful.
The very best I ever heard. Fantastic style
Increible, uno de los mejores sonidos que he escuchado
TOP! QUE BALANÇO! SHOW DE BOLA. UM DIA CHEGO NESTE NÍVEL. PARABÉNS!
I'm still listening....and the goosebumps are still growing...x
And I'm still listening...and practicing...nearly there, another 20 years and I think I'll have it almost just right
I agree with the others. This is one more little masterpiece from you! The full tone, the sense of direction, the elegance of the melodic ideas - all this is extraordinary.
Thank you for the music, Mr Graves!
Ulrich Höbler
que fenomeno! la hace parecer facil y todo.
genio absoluto, que sonido!
Best version I have ever heard.
You get such a sweet sound from that Selmer sax. I love your RUclips music videos. Just plain wonderful! Thank you.
He plays a Conn 10M ..
He also played a Selmer Mark 7 at least in one video. The sax in this video doesn't like a conn to me. Look at the neck(connecting rod missing...). Mayb you're right, I'm not an expert...
HCL991 you are correct sir...defo not a Conn, no neck bridge and that's where I put my cigar in between blows...
mark 7
Hi from scotland, your playing is inspiring and I have played on and off for the last thirty odd years, I would be glad to just listen to you for the next thirty! what a player I wish I had your knowledge and your tone. live for evever and keep playing!!
Smooth and lyrical. Sound great and professional even with minus one.
