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. 🎩🎼🎩
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!
It’s true. One band that I work with, the leader told me not to get him any jazz guys when he asks me to find other horns. Because he doesnt want people doing this exact thing
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
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
If he’d have kept it swinging I’d have been w it lmsoooo
Sonny Rollins would be proud of you.
Real
I honestly wish more producers actually did this I love hearing instrumentalists shred on a pop song
That’s the best part of the gig, a single moment of bliss amongst an evening of slow death
Tenor madness is always in the back pocket
Has to be 😤
I’m dead the tenor madness intro and then just flying straight into outside playing 😭
We get paid by the note!! 🎶🎷🦆💨

Bro the shameless tenor madness lick is crazy 😭
Can’t stop thinking about this
😀
The keys be like "eeeeh.. I guess I'll play the lick..?"
Sick solo bro!
Minibrute 2 on the keyboard stand ❤
He started off gangsta...lol...then he went all "sheets of sound" lol
Hahaha
Bb blues strikes again
"The lick" from the keys brings it all together
Not the lick, missing a couple notes...
the way he started with tenor madness 😂
I know you’re good enough to have played that in the right key
i love how the lick is already in espresso1
This goes hard tho lmao
That was awesome dude! So close to sounding wrong, but sounding soooo right. Love it ❤
Transpose it to the right key and it’s FIRE!

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. 😔
Nice solo

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
😂

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Tenor Madness.
to be fair, that was a terrible solo though, no matter the genre tag you choose to apply to it
Disagree. I think it was cool as hell. Also it's jazz.
