I met nelson some years (20+) ago performing at the Fashion Valley mall in San Diego. Dude has got such command of his instrument. His whistling is phenomenal. It's a shame when people make such blanket comparisons about musicians. He's better than that guy or this guy is better than him. Stop it already. Music isn't a competition, however, if you want to compare musical ability, I think Nelson is a better all around musician. Classical, contemporary, or straight ahead- the guy is a beast.
David Sanborn and Nelson Rangell...That's like trying to compare kiwi to mango, both are great fruits and have lots to offer in their own way. Sanborn comes from a different era and genre of Jazz, influenced my old school musicians and sitting in sessions, which creates a different style from different experiences. I just enjoy their music and don't try to compare.
Its ok to have more than 1 fave of something, Melvin. Nelson's sound is no way even the same as Grover's or Art Porter's or a number of deceased musicians. Rangell is pretty unique.
hola muy buen saxofonista ecxelente sonido muy bonito,, alguien me puede decir que boquilla usa nelson porfavor? buenos efectos y buena banda muy bien saludos
he only acknowledged his keyboardist. what about the other artists. I live in Orlando, Florida not far from your show. haven't heard from you lately. wonder why. our jazz station is gone.
In my opinion, Nelson Rangell and David Sanborn are not even in the same class. I am a huge Sanborn fan......hands down Rangell is very commercial......which isn't to say that I do not like his sound. There is just no comparison between the two.
If this drummer woulda kept the music steady throughout then this tune would've been the great piece it truly is....not too happy with his performance...
@sopranosaxophonist LMAO...You are actually implying that this cat is in the same realm as Sanborn...Give me a break!!! As for the "more commercial" comment...that's no measure of talent!!!
The musicians are excellent, obviously. The quality of youtube compression not so much. Low rates should be disabled or the video should be deleted and uploaded using 720p only.
kefsound who cares about the quality, they didn't have that high res in 2009. I hate it when they take a black and white film and make it colored, it's fine as it is.
He's a decent enough player, but he's a little full of his own horn. I know guys who have played with him and they say he's a bit of a prima donna. And he's definitely no David Sanborn...the different is star and superstar ranking.
Daemyon Zatarga hold up, slow your roll... Rangell just doesn't have as large a following and work experience as Sanborn.. no way is he less talented.....
I was there filming this too. I wish they have more renowned artists again in the parks for free.
The best live concert ever an the classiest ever.
this is by far my favorite smooth jazz song, no doubts.
I couldnt wait for this song to come on the smooth jazz radio station back in the 90's! Awesome song
Yes it is I have it on my playlist..I used to make a cassette tape of all of my favorite smooth jazz songs
"Turning Night into Day" may be the best smooth jazz album ever.
I loooove Nelson Rangell 🔥🔥❤️❤️
Nothing and nobody like Nelson. My favorite musician of all time.
Nelson has long been one of the best. Great performer. Great musician. Thanks for the post.
Wish I had gone to that concert. It was the last V98.7 Smooth Jazz concert. I was supposed to be there!!!
Brilliant Jazz.mix.first.time.l.have.heard.your.great.music..be.watching.a.lot.more
playability and musicality at the highest level! makes my head go bang bang
This is amazingly beautiful. Mr Rangell you have a style that is unique. Thanks for posting.

One of the Best !!!!
Great song, great group. Love Nelson, a virtuoso on the sax and flute.
Totally outstanding!!!! What a talent- so good it's painful :)
When I need to breath in life..., I listen to Nelson....

Nelson is awesome! Every time I met him, he took time to talk to me for a few minutes. So cool and down to earth! I love him!
Nelson Rangels sound is like the bridge between sanborn and marienthal. Edgier than marienthal and smoother than sanborn.
I wish someday I get to see him perform live. He's amazing, so powerful rendering! So gifted
Nelson....the man's got pure 'soul'. He's a great musician. You should hear him live!
OMG WHEN I SAW THAT BOAT......WHAT A SWEET SCENE....LOVE IT!
718robin Chene Park Detroit,Michigan. It’s now called the Aretha Franklin Ampitheater.
Thanks mr nelson rangel
Wow. Fantastic video. I am reliving his performance in Conn.
Have you heard this guy whistle?
Loved the boots I've heard with Jeff Jenkins on piano.
That combo was ridiculous.
You da man Nelson. Kenny G....who?
Life-affirming performance. Still gives me the feels a decade later...
At about 4:20 Nelson goes into 2nd gear and then 3rd........
Mucha hermosura de Creatividad y Sonido
Love this ..... My fave jazz piece ever.
Amazingly beautiful !!! Mr. Randell have a unigue style it's unbelieveable. Thanks for posting.
Great Performance! Great video quality!))
A truly gifted player!
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why is Nelson so amazing?
Since Grover is gone, Nelson is my fav sax player now.
Its ok to have more than 1 fave of something, Melvin. Nelson's sound is no way even the same as Grover's or Art Porter's or a number of deceased musicians. Rangell is pretty unique.

Who is on the guitar?
He is so amazing.
Somebody should have put up some crime scene tape. Nelson Rangel just murdered a whole audience.
Hey livegigvideo1, can you tell me who the bass player and drummer are in this video. They sound really good together. Thanks
he only acknowledged his keyboardist. what about the other artists. I live in Orlando, Florida not far from your show. haven't heard from you lately. wonder why. our jazz station is gone.
Quem são a banda ???
show de bola

Tell the woman in the third row to shut up and enjoy the show.

Remove the video! The quality is really low.
kefsound lol the quality of musicianship is superb. Go back to troll land. Lol
