Belive it or not, it's Bill Watrous singing and playing with the Bill Causey Big Band in Monroe, LA.
Sorry for the unstable video. fyi..I was tired and really hungry from the drive. Also, if I had any idea that he was going to sing, then I would have recorded the intro to the song. I didn't expect him to do so because the last time I had played with him he didn't sing at all.

It's a great challenge to play in the style of Watrous... playing in silence, ''horn sound'', high notes, technically difficult patterns, and of course precise attacking in all register... I think, he has a quite unique, flexible embuchure which makes it possible to play high notes with less energy...
