The Pulse of Entertainment: Saxophonist Theresa Grayson Releases ‘The Best is Yet to Come' with Music Video
(August 21, 2026) - "I want to make sure my audience
can relate...," said saxophonist Theresa Grayson about her new single "The Best is Yet
to Come" from her recently released album "It's All About You - Chapter 2" (Blacksmoke
Music Worldwide). "I watch everyone...I noticed how the audience reacts to songs they know. For the album I chose songs
that have significance...like Bishop Paul Morton, Sr.'s ‘Let it Rain'."
The "The Best is Yet to Come" is a popular Donald Lawrence and The Tri-City Singers song, covered in the
style or sax voice offered by the Grayson. The album title track, "It's All About You" is a Theresa Grayson original.
"I listen
to the melody and apply that to make it sing," she said when praised her on how she makes her sax sing. "It's ear
training. You have to understand your instrument, technique and theory. It's important to me, as an artist, to cover a song...bring
it close to the original as possible."
To master not only the sax and the techniques used to make it sing, but to master the
theory of why the sax should be played in certain ways to get a certain sound is so impressive to me.
"Before I started
this project I was invited to play and minister at church," Theresa said when I asked her about being labeled a Gospel
sax player. "I had to build my Gospel repertoire. I had R&B and Jazz. I chose music that uplifted not only me, but
the church."
I pointed out how beautiful the choir vocalists are on the album and Grayson said, "They are called Radical
Praise. A praise team at my church, They are well trained. You will hear more from them...they're my featured praise team."
The "The
Best is Yet to Come" single is also accompanied by a music video. Aside from the Bishop Paul S. Morton, Sr.'s "Let
It Rain" cover, Theresa Grayson's album also includes Tasha Cobbs Leonard's "Break Every Chain," and VaShawn
Mitchell's "Nobody Greater." Featured artists on the 10-track "It's All About You - Chapter 2" album include
Earnest Pugh, Wess Mortgan and Radical Praise.
"My first experience outside of the class was playing in church," she pointed
out as we continued talking about her being a Gospel sax player. "I was in a band in elementary school and at 11 years-old
I wanted to play in church. My teacher encouraged me to go out there and play."
"I learned to play what's written (sheet
music) in a big band and swing band," Theresa said. "A lot of what I learn now is by ear. I not only play with other
musicians, but I listened to them."
Theresa Grayson, who is now a fluent sax player in Gospel, R&B, and Smooth Jazz,
is on tour and you can see her in Houston, Texas August 29th, September 4th (Blacksmoke Live), November 7 (Mt Moriah Baptist),
