Thanks for posting that! I find it amazing he is totally self taught and can't really read music.


There may have been songs that have done a sax-buildup better, but right now I can't think of one:

wonder are you considering only a specific genre or is the entirety of jazz history brass reed instrument artists approved for inclusion on your survey ballots?

What happened to Sky Ferreira? You can't just drop awesomeness like this and then just go away.**

Except if you're Sky Ferreira

Having looked into it, it seems that what happened to Sky Ferreira was that the 'Heroin Chic'-look wasn't just a look.

This leave me a bit torn. On the one hand I'm obviously not supporting the use of heavy drugs. On the other hand, if it results in stuff like this, then... yea, I still don't condone it. At least not officially.

I'm not pretentious enough to claim to know what the 'entirety of jazz history brass reed instrument artists approved' even encompasses, so I'll just go for the fact that I like a cute girl with a pretty good voice doing a very catchy song with a kicking sax as accompaniment.

Purely sax, I'd rate "I still believe" from The Lost Boys, most Candy Dulfer and obviously Baker street above this, but we need to consider drum-banging in the sunset before we make any hasty decisions.

Broken YouTube Link

needed a reminder of this one

that is Laur Joamets on guitar if your familiar ear has not met him yet
and of course Miles Miller on drums
while all apologies for not initially mentioning bassist Kevin Black


now back to the initial premise of who would exactly think that long standing texts on saxaphone traditions full of hood ornamental recomendations told anyone else dominating the appropriate tone of near future posting space

meanwhile Illinois Jacquet released ths bomb upon some of our grandparents ears to primairly entertain wwii troops way back last century in 1942


is there a need to go any further?
more that happy to continue with a few other popular examples

Skerik on the sax...

Serious-ass rock n' roll going on here.



In case anyone was wondering, this is what an age 18 Sailor was doing 49 years ago tonight...


So the evening started out pretty normal - youtube was feeding me the normal selection of music I enjoy. I clicked this, I clicked that and without quite knowing how I ended up there, I ended up here:

I'm not saying I regret it. But sometimes I question both youtube and myself and at those times I'm not sure who is most to blame.




So you know how youtube will sometimes...

Nevermind - let's just get to it:

Bookmarked against the day Dom ever does another band draft.

likely more sparsely received here than in the jazz thread
but Eric Dolphy was a powerhouse, as was the rest of this particular ensemble so i thought i'd share
absolutly wonderful with headphones

for those who try to keep track of such things and reminding me yet again of a need to take deeper dives into hearing the Reggie Workman and Art Davis discographies

John Coltrane - soprano sax (1), tenor sax (2, 3)
Freddie Hubbard - trumpet
George Lane (Eric Dolphy) - flute (1), alto sax (2, 3)
McCoy Tyner - piano
Reggie Workman - bass
Art Davis - bass (1, 2)
Elvin Jones - drums
