The soprano sax can sound intense and vicious

Eric Marienthal shredding like there is no tomorrow on his soprano saxophone with Chick Corea's Elektric Band II. This is from a live concert in Warsaw, Poland 1994. The tune is called "Tumba Island". Incredible intensity building from Eric and the whole band. Here is the link to the original concert (solo around 10:20 in) • Chick Corea Elektric B...

I've always had a special love for Eric Marienthals soprano sound concept. Incredible tension building by the whole band supporting Eric's amazing shred fest. And that part at 1:56 and 2:07 really sound a bit like you'd be listening at 1.25 speed 😂 Like when somebody's losing his mind, but then, controlled.
Let me know if you dig, this might not be for everybody, I get that.

Definitely dig it

This live performance with this band lineup of Tumba Island has always been spectacular ear candy to me! It's incredible! ❤ Soo cool to see Eric's solo transcribed!

The existence of smooth jazz implies the existence of chunky jazz

[@Marunius]

Now that's a video title haha

[@siechamontillado]

With or without nuts?

[@mokey1966]

...and the origin of the phrase, “blowing chunks”

[@HaydenG_07]

To be fair, late trane on sorpano makes this sound like Smooth jazz (check out any live take of My Favorite Things past 1965-- the Olatunji Concert is particularly astonishing, with the distortion at times making him sound like an electric guitar)

@@Distractionalist Yes, thanks. Ogunde is another of the tracks that's especially chaotic

Afro Blue too

[@mambojazz1]

Correction: No, late Trane does NOT sound like smooth jazz!!

@@mambojazz1 I think you misread what I typed buddy! 🤓👆

This is amazing, thanks. Eric is the consummate musician but I don’t think I ever heard him play with this wild abandon once his GRP records started coming out. He is an incredible player but after the electric band, he plays much more calculated rather than raw like this.

[@coajrmusic]

Wow!

[@Matheusjazz]

Muito bom esse solo do Erick!!!

[@dylanstukins9879]

Is that a Michael brecker quote at 1:33 ?

[@Marunius]

Who is going harder, him or the drummer?! Epic, didn't know this one. And love Frank's comping, not so common a thing!

[@alxsmac733]

Because it's not Frank lol

[@Marunius]

F me, I just assumed it is :D

[@matteomarini6031]

I always wondered which sax played the sop solo on Gordon Goodwin's Mueva Los Huesos.. can tell by just listening to this it was Eric. His sound and style is too recognisable

Fusion was the best!!!!!!!!!!!!
