If someone told me I had to do a solo standing next to Gerald Albright I think I would faint. Randal, you absolutely NAILED that, buddy! Very well done, all of you!
Gerald Albright is such a genius, he plays as if he created the sax. So much control over it and Randal Clark's approach is amazing, love his tone too! 😍😍
@@AndRacy-pi8ki he could use any mouthpiece and still sound like this. Sound like this doesn’t come from a mouthpiece …unfortunately. It’s years of practice and voicing control.
I saw Gerald in concert earlier this year. I waited outside for him to come out and got a photo with him. His show was amazing. I've been listening to him, Tom Scott, Jay Beckenstein, Michael Brecker since the '80's.
I thought I was the only one! That solo was awesome! Just goes to show how important feeling is and how sometimes simplicity can be the best for a solo and how to not overplay. He really did play great though!
u really need to get a bari sax to add some bottom to your videos, if u dont want to spend 4-8000 dollars on a bari sax, just get a mendini. they are cheap and play reasonably well, I got mine brand new on amazon for like $1400, with case, stock mouthpiece, generic ligature, Reed, neckstrap, floor peg, gloves, cleaning clothe, cork grease, and neck piece, and a cheap tuner, pleaseeee get one, it would make ur viewers so happy to see u play it. it's a perfect sax for a new bari sax player. it's responsive and the notes pop. intonation is OK. not great , but OK. mendini baritone saxophone with low A and high F#, amazon. 14-1600 bucks, takes about 2-4 weeks. please. I speak for the people .
+BriansThing Amen! This makes me miss the great late Grover Washington, Jr. Amazing talent. I saw G. Albright perform at an outdoor jazz concert in CFL and he is a generous and wonderful performer!
Great arrangement and bad ass solos from the alto sax and guitarist... and of course Brotha Albright...Just puttin' his foot up all in it!!! Funky funky funnkaaayyy!!!! Yeah I KNOW what I'm talking about.❤
Those who know Gerald know he is an outstanding human being as well as a very talented saxophonist. His lack of ego and kindness toward all tells you he's as excited about other players as he is about his own talent as evidenced by how he features other sax players on this video.
Yeah, Randall! Channeling Grover Washington. fer sure. Cannonball (Tevis & Sheryl) deserves huge kudos for what they've done over the years. Gerald- way to soar...........
Give it up 👏 👏 for the person behind the sound setup as well... Everything is so balanced and great to the ear. Gerald is my mentor, id always love to associate myself to his tone. Thank you ☺
How cool is to see the classy and crafted style of Randal mixed with the passionate and virtuoso style of the great Albright in one song.... just loved every single bar of it!
Gerald and the whole band is amazing!! Thank you guys so much for these amazing and inspiring and motivating videos! Hope to see you again one day in tampa Mr. Laukat!
Randal Clark is new to me who am moved by his alto saxophonic dexterity. They are all great. Good output, guys. This has become Gerald Albright's signature - Wine Light. Go Gerald; don't forget the bass now - or the tenor saxophone. Wilton Felder [RIP] never did [smile].
This would be a great big band arrangement I would like to buy.. ^^ :D Well done all. This would be a perfect piece for a medium difficult soloist piece for the aspiring young jazz musician. Love the song and you sound amazing.
6:17 This syncopation and note choice are unmatched my 99.9% of professional saxophonists. Gerald Albright just blitzes pretty much all living saxophonists.
Done with Gerald And his High E's lol ... More than anything he can change characters to keep the vibe/mood no matter how stratospheric it gets in there. Get'M Gerald... Gotta love Randal splittin' all types of tones up there. Good stuff guys!!
+Ryan Lillywhite its just crazy what he can do with that saxophone....he has so much control in altissimo register its crazy ...the altissimo comes outs so thick and resonant
Yeah I see it Ryan...think it might be frequency since every camera in this video more than likely was synced in post using reference audio . It overloaded the on board mic's agc I saw your "over 9000 face" too lol at 7:29 and Randal's too 7:26
If someone told me I had to do a solo standing next to Gerald Albright I think I would faint. Randal, you absolutely NAILED that, buddy! Very well done, all of you!
haha. i was just thinking that. Im having a heart attack at just the thought of it...gulp!!!
He has a Doctorate in Music, and is also a Classical saxophone artist. He came prepared. (:
Gerald Albright is such a genius, he plays as if he created the sax. So much control over it and Randal Clark's approach is amazing, love his tone too! 😍😍
I agree ! Gerald developed a distinct voice, style and technique. Unsurpassed talent ! Love all his work...
Do you know what mouthpiece does he uses?
@@AndRacy-pi8ki I think it's a Theo Wanne hard rubber Datta #8

I've never heard of Gerald Albright until today! I am in love! Yesss.
You should catch him in concert.. AMAZING!
Watch some of his videos . The will blow you away.
GA is absolutely on 🔥. Can we also appreciate Mr Clark’s altissimo notes? What a beauty!!!
Gerald is like a Tsunami.... Comes outta nowhere and is an unstoppable force!
Cannonballs are the standard right now. I got the tenor, then went back and got the Alto! Happy playing my friend.
Randall Clarck's solo was KILLER!
I thought I was the only one! That solo was awesome! Just goes to show how important feeling is and how sometimes simplicity can be the best for a solo and how to not overplay. He really did play great though!
Great job guys! Gerald is the GOAT!

Yeah I KNOW what I'm talking about.❤
Yo, how come I ain't seein props for that NASTY solo by Randal Clark??!!?? That was FIYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The control at 7:20 is incredible.
Stunning tone from Gerald Albright‘ Alto! The greatest of the Great.

just love these double and triple octave jumps - his trademark lick - very recognizable. only marienthal does these once in a while
Fantastic group of Musicians.Gerald Albright is such a monster.
Yeah, Randall! Channeling Grover Washington. fer sure. Cannonball (Tevis & Sheryl) deserves huge kudos for what they've done over the years. Gerald- way to soar...........
Love it
Hope he soon comes over to Germany
Give it up 👏 👏 for the person behind the sound setup as well... Everything is so balanced and great to the ear. Gerald is my mentor, id always love to associate myself to his tone. Thank you ☺
Man, that guitarist is sick! His gain tone is crazy! It's such a sweet lush tone, but still had that edge of crunch to it!
Amazing, the best Cannonball. Gerald and musics players, fantastics.
Talk about a band that truly played in harmony with each other. Go Gerald
Well enjoyable. Huge solo of Randal Clark. Very good taste.
Was he the one in blue? Great solo
Impecable!! One minute you sound like Grover, the next it's King Curtis, feel like selling my horn now, amazing to hear...THANKS
How cool is to see the classy and crafted style of Randal mixed with the passionate and virtuoso style of the great Albright in one song.... just loved every single bar of it!
I love Albright's smile when the soli starts!
Awesome saxes
There is nothing like watching and listening to Gerald Allbright make love to the alto saxophone...So SMOOTH!!
Big Gerald is the man !! Wow has he got chops 👍
This is a historic piece of literature.
Powerful horns section! Greetings from Jazzman Kuala Lumpur.
Well the spirit of this album, Winelight: Gover Washington Jr., just stepped up a few notches from its, well let's say, "intended ecosystem."
IIoveyourvideos!!!
Smooth! I know Grover was looking down smiling! Wonderful playing guys!
Grover would be very proud he is listening from above...
This song been stuck in my head for a week now ...fire this is def the 🐐
The band is so talented and looks great playing together😄!
A joy to watch☺️
This is awesome I wish I could play like this
Thank you Gerald..!! You're amazing.!! Cannonball.. you guys are great..!!
Now that is from the soul. I love the Big black guys solo but also liked the other guy. Would like to hear a solo on the Barytone Sax.
"He is a masterpiece on his own"
Gerald and the whole band is amazing!! Thank you guys so much for these amazing and inspiring and motivating videos! Hope to see you again one day in tampa Mr. Laukat!
Awesome ... Gerald ... WOW!!!

You got that right.
I really want to call my son Adolf now :^)
Deus abençoe voce!
💯👍😎
In My Dreams ! !
Gorgeous Gerald Albright 🙋♀️🇧🇷❤️
Love me some Gerald Albright music, especially featuring Mr. Will Downing, great music to listen to at work....
For Surdi, Winelight song is a staple! Gerald Albright on top with the copper section here! Love & Respects Grover and the Cannonballs! 🎧
Aesthetically that bari-sax is a work of art.
These guys are amazing! Makes me want to practice more.
It does make me practise more, I stop practising and listen to about 20 minutes of music like this and I have to go back at it.
Awesome. They managed to adapt the main motif of Wayne Shorter's "Footprints", a piece in a different time signature, into the sax harmonies.
Absolutely stunning 👍🏻
Wow!!! Incredible!
Wow! Gerald you are the World level!🇺🇸
Amazing!! This song is a staple! I perform it at nearly every show.
Amazzzzzing!!! 🎷🎼🎼😍
7:25 The look the guy next to Gerald gives him when he puts out that note.
Excelent❤️🎷
Great Music ..Gerald Albright is a monster player.The band is tight.
my goal is to be just like Gerald in the music industry.....he is great on and off stage
Man, Randal killed that solo!!!
Randal Clark is new to me who am moved by his alto saxophonic dexterity.
They are all great. Good output, guys.
This has become Gerald Albright's signature - Wine Light.
Go Gerald; don't forget the bass now - or the tenor saxophone.
Wilton Felder [RIP] never did [smile].
Wooow,super Groove 🔊🎼🎸🎼🎷 Great Music🎼Thanks Cannonball Band & Gerald Albright and Grover Washington
RIP Grover, miss him.
Gerald - O M G !

Chulada de música 👍👍...maestro de maestros
Wow you guys the best saxophone lines I have heard in a very long time. Great Job cannonball!!!
Outstanding Arrangement.
First heard Gerald playing the National anthem at a LA Rams game. I could tell he could play,
He is one of the greatest sax players of all time.
Mikki Barker agreed
Randall também tem um timbre muito bonito tem um improviso bonito e um grande músico 😮😮😅😅😅 aliás ai só tem feras a banda toda formidável
6:17 This syncopation and note choice are unmatched my 99.9% of professional saxophonists. Gerald Albright just blitzes pretty much all living saxophonists.
Whew, so inspiring. Fellow tenor sax player. DRM
So beautiful
In memory of Grover Washington.
Fife light it up!
That Is So Very Cool Song!

legend !! love it so much !! je n'ai rien à dire
All I can say is wow Gerald! Grover would be proud! You were so in the groove. Just wow!
Done with Gerald And his High E's lol ... More than anything he can change characters to keep the vibe/mood no matter how stratospheric it gets in there. Get'M Gerald... Gotta love Randal splittin' all types of tones up there. Good stuff guys!!
+ProjectSax check out at 7:23 where his altissimo actually messes up the auto-focus on the camera
+Ryan Lillywhite its just crazy what he can do with that saxophone....he has so much control in altissimo register its crazy ...the altissimo comes outs so thick and resonant
Yeah I see it Ryan...think it might be frequency since every camera in this video more than likely was synced in post using reference audio . It overloaded the on board mic's agc
I saw your "over 9000 face" too lol at 7:29 and Randal's too 7:26
+Ryan Lillywhite Well the range is cool but more than anything is ... what to do when you are up there ... I mean you gotta come down
Amazing
Great sounds guys. A big hug and hello to Kengi on guitar.
