tenor madness for the win

That was fuckin fire. Lord knows I've sneaked in bebop licks at wedding gigs but haven't dared go too far outside lmao

Sonny Rollins would be proud of you.

I honestly wish more producers actually did this I love hearing instrumentalists shred on a pop song

Tenor madness is always in the back pocket

We get paid by the note!! 🎶🎷🦆💨

I’m dead the tenor madness intro and then just flying straight into outside playing 😭

Bro the shameless tenor madness lick is crazy 😭

That’s the best part of the gig, a single moment of bliss amongst an evening of slow death

The keys be like "eeeeh.. I guess I'll play the lick..?"

I hire jazz/bebop sax players (no hard bop..lol) for my r&b band's dates all the time. They bring a tension and flavor that we love and our audiences seems to appreciate. An added plus is the conversations with them in the green room and in between sets is priceless. One of the funniest lines I ever heard at a gig was when a couple of drunken patrons kept making requests for bizarre songs. Our sax player that evening had grown tired of it and also probably the club's atmosphere..He finally grabbed the mike from our lead singer, held up our song list and shouted to the crowd " This is a setlist, not a freaking menu ". I had never heard that line before or since. Needless to say he's our number one call eventhough he's constantly working. 🎩🎼🎩

Can’t stop thinking about this

the way he started with tenor madness 😂

Bb blues strikes again

This goes hard tho lmao

"The lick" from the keys brings it all together

He started off gangsta...lol...then he went all "sheets of sound" lol

i love how the lick is already in espresso1

That was awesome dude! So close to sounding wrong, but sounding soooo right. Love it ❤

I know you’re good enough to have played that in the right key

Minibrute 2 on the keyboard stand ❤

I dig this!!! ;-)

michael breker had entered the chat

espresso madness

Sick solo bro!

This is great bro 👏 😂 🔥 also killin

Transpose it to the right key and it’s FIRE!

Them licks ridiculous bro

Классный юмор ! Хорошая профессиональная работа !

I do that at my small school sometimes where there's nobody that plays jazz, hoping beyond hope that one day somebody might catch the reference. 😔

Yo i just hollered irl 😂😂

WE GONNA PLAY IN THE HOTEL WITH THIS ONE 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🎷🎷🎷🎷

Hilarious 😅😅😅

I WAS JUST SHEDDING ON TENOR MADNESS NO WAY

Nice solo

Pretty sure the wedding bands I play with wouldn’t book me if I did that. The first half of the solo maybe they’d let me get away with. The second half would get me an invitation to leave!

😂😂 nice!

😍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yea. If I heard that, you would get a thumbs up.

😂😂😂😂😊

The first bars didn't match, but was pretty good

That mouthpiece looks nice... what mouthpiece is that?

😂

😂😂😂😂😂

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Tenor Madness.

Yeah it’s cool but if someone’s that excessive on a pop gig it’s either a low stakes gig or that person is trying to show off and still figuring out the whole professionalism thing

to be fair, that was a terrible solo though, no matter the genre tag you choose to apply to it
