I just love Nelson Rangell. Smooth jazz artist like him don't get the recognition in the industry as they should.

I hear you and sort of understand. The funny thing is that I see it almost the opposite...only smooth Jazz artists seem to get airplay meanwhile the real Jazzers go unnoticed. Nelson is definitely talented but I think this type of sax music is pretty much the only type these days. To hear the straight ahead or more "orthodox" Jazz, one has to really go digging. Real Jazz venues are going the way of the unicorn and the way of the bookstore...

This is Funk; this is Fusion; this is Soul; this is Contemporary Smooth Jazz, the true application of the latter terminology. There are very few 'real' jazz artists who can effectively and comfortably employ improvisational Jazz licks within the confines of rhythmic and harmonic environment. Given any rhythmic pulse, Charlie Parker played Jazz capably and comfortably. And so does Wilton Felder of (Jazz) Crusaders; and so did Stanley Turrentine. Since his 1980s LP Debut, Nelson has demonstrated just this with ease and comfortability of exuberance and poignancy . Buoyancy! Easiness! Natural for Nelson Rangel who has been a classically trained flute player. An excellently trained Classical artist has the tools - more than the tools - to be an exceptional Jazz performer a La Charlie Parker or Sonny Stitt. Proper selection, memory and coherent application of classical passages are winning ingredients, in this regard. Listen Nelson Rangell, who seems to have been initially inspired and influenced by David Sanborn but went on to eclipse him after studying and effectively utilising the techniques of Charlie Parker. Nelson is a superb reader of chronicled and documented music - an advantaged over many, but by no means all, non-trained musicians. Even though Nelson plays soprano, alto and tenor saxophones, as well as flutes and piccolo, his mastery is least effective on tenor saxophone. That tenor sound...I guess he pays least attention to this instrument. He demonstrates the true intended sound-voice of soprano and alto saxophones; his altissimos on them are without blemish. Posterity will doubtlessly chronicle and preserve the dexterity and prowess of Nelson Rangell in the heart of historical eminence and longevity.

wyndhl eodumegwu well said. As a fellow Alto player, I can relate to him. He puts his soul into his songs and his solos. He is the master of melody.

Wow. In this age of cold automated music how blowing away and rare is to see a musician throwing an unbelievable musical performance from his heart and soul straight from beginning to end without one computer edit or gimmick. That is what is called talent, and it is becoming in true short supply.

Been listening to Nelson since "To Begin Again". His music has never cookie cutter. He really has carved out his unique space in smooth jazz. How great is the hook that kicks off this tune? The rhythm track is spot on as is Nelson's playing. Never tire of this tune.

Rangell! How long I have waited for the release of your new album! You unmatched sax player. I think the best in the world! The most sensual and soulful. My acquaintance with your creativity happened when I was 12 years old back in 1990 in Soviet Union (Kazakhstan). My friend who learned to play the saxophone, got a recording with "Givin 'The' Hi 'Sign", "NYC", "The Carousel" ... It was a re-recorded probably hundreds of times audio cassette. It's hissed, creaked, but the music that was on it was fantastic. The worst thing that the cassette had no any label, neither name... Few years later i has lost this cassette. It was the darkest day. Many times I asked peoples, humming a melody, and trying to find out who was on those tape. ... and only in 2000 when we had the Internet and Amazon (while CDNOW) I found that it was YOU. It was a revelation. Rangell! Thank you very much for your creativity and skill. You have no idea how many people you inspire to play music and including me. Thank you from all of my heart!

Clearly a unique talent that hasn't gotten his just due credit in the Cjazz circuit, what I've discovered in my years of enjoying 'The Talent' is that when you hear the/a song you know 'The Player' Nelson has that unique original flavor! Still loving and listening 11/07/2020. Love your talent and this song/sound is @Nelson Rangell 🎷 thanks for sharing/posting.

Al saxofonista Nelson Rangell la música le viene de familia, sus tres hermanos son también músicos y el empezó con la flauta cuando tenía quince años para poco después asistir al conservatorio de Boston, y al terminar marcharse a Nueva York para empezar su carrera como músico, donde grabo un primer trabajo antes de firmar con GRP Records con quienes grabo ocho álbumes. Este "Point of Departure" es el tema que abre "Red", un álbum que forma un conjunto con "Blue", ambos publicados en febrero de 2015. #SmoothJazz

I guess I should have looked at the date. This would have been before the switch to TW. Yes, that is obviously the Beechler Custom.
