An excellent musician based in Connecticut, Randy Kemp on his You Tube video of “Tale As Old As Time” from Disney’s Beauty And The Beast aminated classic, is featured on both tenor-sax and piano. The video at first shows an excerpt from the beloved movie and then Kemp plays his version of the song for a touching scene in which the Beast dances with the Beauty. The video alternates very effectively between the dance and Kemp’s saxophone playing. Throughout this performance, Randy Kemp effectively turns the movie music into a memorable jazz ballad. While the song is reharmonized a bit, the sweet melody is beautifully played and his melodic variations add to the piece. In fact, Randy Kemp’s playing is so warm and his swing so natural that the romantic ballad sounds as if it was a jazz standard. ---Scott Yanow, jazz journalist and author youtu.be/Zh8ARfIbuwo
