I am a saxophone player coming back to the scene after a long hiatus. I look forward to growing old and playing. Mindi Adair showed up on my radar when I would watch American Idol, eagerly. I voted for her then, and I still vote for her now. If she needed it. Tears of joy.
I've played trumpet 40+ years.. where I live in S.C. there's nobody to form a jazz band, so I'm playing keys in a rock band. Lol. Listening to you guys really makes me miss playing with other horn players.. thanks for the great music...
God damn it's good to be a Human that gets to hear beautiful noise like that!! Those drums and bass hold it down the keys and sax just make it sexier. How fun!!
This is just incredible music. Mindi is the real deal! I have met her and she is one of the authentic musicians truly living her music. There is no act there! Music is just who she is, and she naturally moves with the music. It's really wonderful to see someone so authentically dedicated to how the music moves them. It comes through in the positive feel her music has too. Just wonderful. I love this video!
Mindi seems to transmit so much energy by her saxophone! I love her music, but this is my favourite music video! This blonde musicians gives her best performance on live stage. Great!
I got here following the Y/T wormhole. In a debate about Jack Bruce vs. Wayman Tisdale as best bass player ever I saw Mindi in a video with the big man. I click on this and I'm treated to a B3 Hammond Organ, smooth riffs, and a spectacular rendition of an iconic song. Thanks.
Love the way she gets lost in her music. Even when she plays on American Idol from some of the potential singers as with Phillip and others. She gets into a zone when she performs and it's amazing. It's good seeing a true musician and seeing how they really love what they do!
Mindi is my second cousin, I'm NOT kidding. I met her when she was on tour and came around my area. We got to go back stage, watch them practice, and her dad paid the tickets for us! It was a really great experience and I would love to see her again! (No hate replies, please. I'm being completely and truly honest!)
That's how a sax should sound. Sadly, I can barely rise above the squeaks to play a few simple staccato melodies. I'm grateful to the skills of the inspirational!
listen to all of you haters, my lord. how small are you people to come here and complain. just enjoy her music and thank her for allowing you to enjoy this video. thanks mcjollyman for sharing, this video is awesome.
How is this clip not mega viral?! What GREAT music guys -- all of you. It was so organic and honest. In an age where it seems all music is computer assisted, this was a real breath of fresh air.
A very talented young lady. She is not one of the best female Renor Sax players, she is one of the best Tenor Sax players period, regardless of gender.
The Keyboardist is Arlan Scheierbaum, He played with Joe Bonamassa for a couple of years. He rocks the keyboards. We had the pleasure of seeing him with Joe Bonamassa in Vegas. What a concert!
Je ne me lasse pas de cette vidéo :-). J'apprends le saxo ténor depuis 1 an et ça me donne envie d'essayer l'Alto ! Magnifique arrangement de Imagine qui me fait frissonner à chaque écoute !!!
Thanks for share it! La saxofonista Mindi Abair reinventaba así en 2011 el clásico de John Lennon, "Imagine", un tema grabado en directo donde destaca además el sonido del órgano. De "Imagine", escrita en 1971 por Lennon, BMI dice que es una de las 100 canciones más interpretadas del siglo XX, y para la RIAA ocupa el puesto 30 en la lista de las 365 Canciones del Siglo, además obtuvo un premio del Salón de la Fama de los Grammy y esta en el Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll en su lista de 500 canciones que dieron forma al Rock and Roll. #smoothjazz
Mindi Abair, j'ai appris à vous connaitre sur RUclips et je suis devenu Fan de votre musique. je suis un très grand Admirateur de Saxo et je tiens à vous saluer très sincèrement. Très Cordialement Biz
I heard the best what cover. Expression, inventiveness, commitment this has all Mindi.I adore her on the scene.Let him stay on the day on the night for ever there.Miras from Poland.
Are those not real stairs behind them ?! 😂 that's so cool & funny lmao. Also, CHILLSSS 😍😍 loved this video ❤ I just bought my first sax earlier today !
i don't understand why this doesnt have like 10 million veiws, cats falling off stupid walls etc have more, mindi is as cute as a kitten here and music is sweet as a button
this is a perfect example of acoustic music played well. Even if it is a cover. I'd take 3 seconds of this sax playing over 20 years of shite 'hip hop' computerised shite that passes for a good track currently.
Hi Mindi, I've seen you perform with Peter White in Reading, PA a few times around Christmas You are great! I have some of your Cd's. We live in Winter Haven, FL now. Maybe we will get to see some of your concerts in Tampa.
Joli phrasé malgré quelques difficultés dans certains aigus mais vu son âge ça viendra. Elle promet énormément. Forcément un grande artiste en devenir au sax alto. Bravo ! Et puis l'hammond associé aux les cabines Lestie; il n'y a toujours pas mieux même aujourd'hui!
I love It !! This is what real musicians sound like!! Just mind blowing !!

This is so good....Left me with a very nice feeling too. Nobody mentioned the fine job the organist did. Well done to all.
I can't say what is greater, her perfect passion for what she does or how much I enjoy listening and watching her do her thing. Spectacular!!!
I have been a paid musician for 40 years, bass player. I really like this. Great job y'all!!
Just saw Mindi live last night in Seattle and she performed this song. She and the band were awesome!
God damn it's good to be a Human that gets to hear beautiful noise like that!! Those drums and bass hold it down the keys and sax just make it sexier. How fun!!

I used to take saxophone lessons from Mindi before she made it big in the music industry!

Love this song. Love Mindi she is amazing. Seen her a few times and each time she is fantastic. Love Love her music.

She and Dulfer definitely have that Sanborn sound. Just awesome. Imagine the three of them jamming together. WOW!
They are not in the same league as Sanborn. Eric Marienthal, Brandon Fields, Gerald Albright, Andy Snitzer? Much better
Mindi is my second cousin, I'm NOT kidding. I met her when she was on tour and came around my area. We got to go back stage, watch them practice, and her dad paid the tickets for us!

WOW What a great song played this way!!! IT IS JUST PERFECT!!! I LOVE IT SOOOOOO MUCH!!!

the guy on the B3 is an excellent musician, and knows well how to make a B3 sing so beautifully!!!!
thanks
Świetny kawałek, pięknie zagrany 😮🙆♂️🤸♂️😊🙃❤️
How is this clip not mega viral?! What GREAT music guys -- all of you. It was so organic and honest.
In an age where it seems all music is computer assisted, this was a real breath of fresh air.
nice arrangement I wish I could hear more bands cover this song the lyrics is powerful
Some of the best of what the human spirit has to offer . I enjoyed this version very much!
Funky, jazzy, chilling, good job, great music!
I love to see musicians having fun! She's cute too!
They All Seem (well, not seem - seeing is believing) to be having a great time & that it sounds so good... is even bettah!!
Not only an incredible sax player, but skilled in staying on that table in all positions!
First viewed this in 2011, right after it was released. I come back to it minimum 4 times a week since. She absolutely killed it.
A very talented young lady. She is not one of the best female Renor Sax players, she is one of the best Tenor Sax players period, regardless of gender.
young? lol
😂
That's an alto 😂😂😂
I’m a saxophonist, that’s an alto.
Could literally listen to her all day and night ❤
All you guys playing.........has given me goosebumps. Absolutely brilliant!!
Love the studio.
Proves you can make good . . . great music anywhere!
The Keyboardist is Arlan Scheierbaum, He played with Joe Bonamassa for a couple of years. He rocks the keyboards. We had the pleasure of seeing him with Joe Bonamassa in Vegas. What a concert!
Love this cover version!
Arlan Schierbaum on organ
Mindi Abair created her own sax mouthpiece (available on her homepage)

So cool that she has fun with it. Has to be an incredible person
Awesome - best version i’ve heard- should have way above 10 million clicks
Masterpiece! That´s so amazing. Really great performance.
Thanks to the syndicated Blues Deluxe radio show for turning me on to one of the world's BEST sax players and a great vocalist, too!
Mindi Abair, Your "Jazz Musician Ancestors" Up In "HEAVEN THE GOOD AFTERLIFE PARADISE" Would Be So, So, So "PROUD" of You, Girl ! 🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷
Anyone not liking this, don't know music! That was jamming!
CONGRATULATIONS MINDI FANTASTIC SAX!!!!!
Thanks!
Je ne me lasse pas de cette vidéo :-). J'apprends le saxo ténor depuis 1 an et ça me donne envie d'essayer l'Alto !

muito bom!!! Parabéns pelo trabalho não canso de ouvir.
I told years ago this lovely woman that i wanted my King to hear her music. Fede Konge ved hvem hun er.
Got here because of the sax, stayed and watched 30 more times for the mesmerizing keys.
Mindi's dad and I played in a band at FSU in the 60s. Terrific family. When they jam together it is dynamite.
Nota dez direto do Brasil!!!
Mindi Abair you are Amazing sax play from deep your heart thanks for share us your talent
I must’ve heard this more 100 times - literally… Nothing short of amazing…
How nice to be able to hear something so beautiful for free on youtube. Thank you all
Love it. ("imagine" living in the next apartment) LOL
Your sax sounds good. I think if all goes well I'll see you in concert in November.
Mindi Abair, j'ai appris à vous connaitre sur RUclips et je suis devenu Fan de votre musique. je suis un très grand Admirateur de Saxo et je tiens à vous saluer très sincèrement. Très Cordialement Biz

The best Jazz inagine version. Mindi is so amazing.
This is amazing and I'm gonna make my own version of this with my band today
Yea how’d that work out. Update: 2020 is bad
Zack,I'm 75 and something tells even me it's not going to be the same even if you dye that long hair blonde.
@@leostewart363 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow, I was just searching for Imagine played on a Hammond. I wasn't expecting all this. Great band! Good job, RUclips.
Love it :-) And Samuel L. Jackson playing the drums is also a nice touch ;-)
MARAVILHOSOO!! Amazing! ")
Perfeito! Perfect ")
Are those not real stairs behind them ?! 😂 that's so cool & funny lmao.
Also, CHILLSSS 😍😍 loved this video ❤ I just bought my first sax earlier today !
the stairs and rocks in the background are very real ~ (o:
It's a living room edition! LOL

Looks like wallpaper....
WOW! This song gave me the best feelings! Great version! I loved the vibe!!!
Incredible sound guys, just funky and perfect, improvisation sounds cool too!! That sax sound´s wonderful
i don't understand why this doesnt have like 10 million veiws, cats falling off stupid walls etc have more, mindi is as cute as a kitten here and music is sweet as a button
simon jones because everybody dosen't like sax. Stupid cat is a society phénomène
ALL RIGHT....
simon jones
this is a perfect example of acoustic music played well. Even if it is a cover. I'd take 3 seconds of this sax playing over 20 years of shite 'hip hop' computerised shite that passes for a good track currently.
Cuz it's terrible!!
I love that music!
PARABÉNS TOP AMEI O SOM SUCESSO...É UM PRAZER OUVI UMA BELA MÚSICA SENDO BEM TOCADA COM GRANDE TALENTO...

A sax player is wonderful! Amazing band!

That Hammond sound
Hi Mindi, I've seen you perform with Peter White in Reading, PA a few times around Christmas You are great! I have some of your Cd's. We live in Winter Haven, FL now. Maybe we will get to see some of your concerts in Tampa.
ジョンレノンの曲「imagine」をジャズ風にアレンジされてとても心地よいです。私もアルトサックスを購入して吹いてみたくなりまた。
I remember seeing her on Adam Sandler's live HBO concert in 96 and thinking,"That's the hottest Sax player ever!"
Also very talented.
Lookup candy dulfer. Mindi is really cool but candy is ultimate
i was a little worried she would fall out of her chair. another reason i always stand when i perform. lol

Candy Dulfer and this little post Sanborn phenom. What's up with all the babes burning on sax? Well give me more! Great B3 solo
Fantastica!!

John Lennon, Beatles.
See,her and Candy Dulffer
wilda ukago I'm not kidding, Mindi is accually my second cousin! I'm NOT kidding!!
J'adore la groove sportive ainsi que la representation altophonique de Mindi Abair.
She is so smoothly and jazzy)
Sensacional!
She is awesome but I want to know who that organ player is. He fits in so perfectly with the music.
Arlan Scheierbaum is on the keyboards. Also played with Joe Bonamassa
+Biggie Sax Yeah, I think a lot of recognition was taken from the other players who I thought were quite talented.
That girl rocks my world! Awesome Imagine jam.
No doubt,it's the truth.
God bless you famous jazz woman.
Everyone here was amazing!
Thank you... We were having fun!
The keyboard guy kinda reminds me of David Spade lol
and Mindi looks like Malin Akerman .. lol
Arlan Schierbaum is a great keyboard player. This was actually filmed at his house. He didn't get 10 cents for this, either.
Haha! The drummer kinda reminds me of John's son Ravi Coltrane!!!!!!🎷🎷🎷😁😁😁
Wowwwwww. Best version ever the band is Boss. Man that organ its talking...
Absolutely breath taking!!!....and then there was her hot looks to compliment the beautiful sound of her saxophone......the pianist was boss too!
amazing..like spiderman..
OMG YASSS SPIDERMAN IS DEH BOSSS
Incredible hulk is quite beastly as well.
NOPE
so incredible
Love seeing people having fun!!!!!
First time hearing you. Sooooo good. I love your backing group. Love your moves, smiles, you looking at your group, teasing them, i love that!!!
I'm a one man band on youtube. Hope you can enjoy one of my songs.
