Alexis Van Eeckhout, a self-taught musician and a student of the American Saxophonist J.R. Monterose, comes back, as hobby, with what is called a "Jazz-Fresh" (chill-out) style. His musical experience started at a very early age in his family. His first instrument of predilection whas the Clarinet. He played some Classical pieces o f music with his father who was a professional Classical Composer, Organist, and Orchestra's Chief., Later, he played Tenor sax, Alto sax, Soprano sax and Traverse flute with several Belgian bands . Since 1997, he has focused on blending his musical experiences and influences in order to create his own style. Working on his musical phrasing, melody, harmonisation and rythm as well as on a global musical ambiance for each piece.

Story behind the song
Hello everybody, I have the great pleasure to propose you today a brand new AVanE CLASSICAL SAX . It is my interpretation and arrangement of the well known "NESSUN DORMA" (Turandot) of Giacomo PUCCINI . This piece of music has been created for the OPERA . I think well it is the very first time that it is played by a TENOR SAX instead of being sung by a TENOR SINGER of Opera . Credits: Composed by Giacomo PUCCINI. (1858-1924) Arrangements by Alexis Van Eeckhout . Selmer Mark VII Tenor Sax, Fender piano vsti, Violins vsti, Double-Bass vsti by Alexis Van Eeckhout . (c)Alexis Van Eeckhout 2007 Thanks for listening and reviewing if you got a few time :) I wish you a very HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008 . May all your dreams come true ! All the best Alexis

sorry it took me a while to get back to you. This is a magical rendition of a beautiful song. I'm not much of a classical music listener, but that doesn't matter. I just know that you make it fantastic. I love the resonant sound of your sax. It's like singing a dramatic song with ease. Absolutely fantastic. Mas

Wonderful playing and arrangement Alexis. I am not familiar at all with the composer. The piece is often meloncholy but then there are shades and textures of hope and promise. Complex emotions. Your production skills are as fine as your playing my friend. Thanks for the heads up on this one. Easy 5 stars...Pine
