BIO by Scott Yanow ( www.scottyanow... )
...Sal Nistico's explosive tenor solos with Woody Herman in the mid-'60s helped make that edition of Herman's Herd into a success. Originally an altoist, Nistico switched to tenor in 1956 and played with RB bands for 3 years. He gigged with and made his recording debut in 1959-1960 with the Jazz Brothers, a band also including Chuck & Gap Mangione. But it was while with Herman in 1962-1965 that Nistico made history. In 1965, he spent 5mos. with Count Basie. He returned to Basie in 1967 and to Herman on several occasions (1968-1970, 1971, 1981-1982). Otherwise, tenorist freelanced throughout his career, playing with Don Ellis & Buddy Rich, but mostly working with pick-up groups. Nistico recorded for several labels as a leader including Riverside, Red, and Beehive.

MUSICIANS WHO
KNEW SAL REMINISCING:
** “I doubt we'll ever hear players like Sal again. EVER! Sal was a true spirit.”
** “Even though he was a gifted musician, he also was very humble.”
** “Sal Nistico was my hero. When I heard him with Woody in 1964, I knew I wanted to be a tenor sax player like Sal. I didn't know how, but I knew that's what I wanted. Thank God I got to meet him a couple of times and tell him how much he meant to me.”

After hearing Sal Nistico I don't understand how people can get excited by Coltrane or Michael Brecker. This guy doesn't have that wimpy, shrieky sound that most tenor players adopted after Coltrane. Tone has gone out the window for technique, and listen to this guys technique! And he has a great sound.
The most underrated and unheard of Tenor Sax player who ever graced the Earth bar none. He knocked me out at Al Hirt's Club on Bourbon Street in New Orleans Louisiana in 1961 or there about when I was one of the hottest Tenor Sax players of the time, because I could play Yakety Sax. I never did forget that night and never caught his name or heard of him. I discovered him a few years back here on RUclips. I couldn't believe it. Ain't this internet sumpton!
Шикарный незаурядный музыкант! )))
Thanks for your comment - so very true! I ran it thru the translator => "Gorgeous extraordinary musician!" (Russian)
Great sound from that Conn 10M. My 10M is from 1953.
My 10M is 1941, and he can play it at least twice as fast as I can play my Mark VI! That's a metal Otto Link mpc.
He caught lightning in a bottle when he found Sal. And prob my fav lineup save the 40th anniversary concert
Holy $hit!!! SAL swung his ass off!!!! This Syracuse native was in a league of his own!!!!! RIP SAL NISTICO
He was like a machine gun!!!!
Been playing tenor for 20+ years, I've heard his name, but wow man, this is the first time hearing him. He's an absolute beast on the horn, how the hell did I not hear him over the last 20 years?! He reminds me of Sonny Stitt when he's at 250 or higher bpm. What a legend. I mean, his articulation at that speed is mind-blowing and happens to be one of my favorite styles in faster playing. Again, wow.
One of the reasons Woody's albums of the 60's were among the best big band sides ever.
Sal Nestico: An amazingly under rated player.....clean, quick, great musical lines, relentless drive...
Nistico
This should have a million views. Sal was so wonderful. He was a bebop monster and had insane technique. But, I really dig his ballads and melodic playing in styles like Bossa. He was always a wonderful storyteller. He had it all. His articulation on fast stuff is just ridiculous.
His brain works at a different speed than any normal man !
his tounge is pretty rapid-fire too
so underrated
That first 40 second excerpt is actually, "Deep Purple" ;))
so many incredible players came out of Woody Herman big band during this era..Sal Nistico is phenomenal player..
This guy is scarily good
I'm clocking Apple Honey at about 380bpm. #Burning!
Have heard of Nistico since I the sixties, and amazing tenor player. I hope he passed well!
Dear god the man could play some sax...awesome stuff, guy had indestructible chops.
Thank you @!!!!!!!
this is melting--my god
with compliments
Thats a whole lot of rippin tenor. He and johnny griffin, stitt. Fast as hell

I always laughed at Caldonia!
Just Awesome!

Sal and Gerry Niewood are my all time favorites (very melodic players)........runner up is Gary Foster (my jazz teacher}
Let's not forget Joe Romano from Rochester. New York!!!
Molasses!!!!! What the F!!!! Sal lays it down!!! In the pocket!!! Gritty! Nasty!!! Soulful!!!
