As a fellow musician and singer, I can say that it is incredibly hard to sustain and maintain such a high level of energy when you are playing a pop song like this with no singer. The sax player on the right has so much swag, and attitude to his playing that I could totally listen to this version on a regular basis. This is great musician ship and stage presence and I’m really glad I found this video. If you are any sort of instrumentalist, you can learn a lot from this guy
Disagree: Alto 1 brings too much energy, it's an overload. He's breaking the balance of the song by playing everything too loud and adding a too-pop vibrato/embrochure over a Funky song (Funk sax ≠ pop sax). He is in the line that separates music and noise, and, from My perspective, he crossed it a bit
I play sax,guitar,keys,violin,bass,drums,sing,anyone with drive can play cross-harp, the only thing I Am learning here is I have been cheated and underappreciated for 50 years (72 yrs old now, painting houses,live music is mostly non-existent.
OMG... Was there anything left of that Sax??? That sound... CRISP with an Edge that can cut Diamonds!!! That staccato sounded like it had only 1 vibration of the reed!!!! Well done!!! This band is Absolutely Brilliant and on Point!!!! Rock on...PLEASE!!!!
What an awesome performance!! The whole band sounds great. Every time I watch this I'm blown away how good Eric Darius is on that Alto, a truly talented musician.
hey! I'm Nil and I had Mr Clark when I was in band at Corner Canyon HS and let me tell you that he was the best teacher. I'm from Spain, and I came to America with a really low clarinet level. Music didn't really ment anything to me till I see how fun it can be. I don't know if he remembers me, but he made me love music. Maybe this dpesn't mean anything to anyone, but I think he sould be really proud of his job and what he is doing with all those kids. I hope I'll meet you in the future. Thanks for everything!!
I witnessed Eric Darius performed at the Cancun Jazz festival 2018 and he turned it out even when it started raining the guy came out into the audience and jammed his butt off. He was amazing!
Outstanding job performed by Eric Darius! He's by far my favorite Saxophone player now. He plays with such passion that it's obvious this man is doing what he loves and is living his dream. Amazing! :)
Just speechless this is incredible!!! I love how the others stand back and watch him in awe as well! I've just started learning and watching the way he moves with the sax is crazy! I've never seen someone play as if the sax is apart of them. What a dream to be able to even play half as good as that!
Bought a cannonball raven tenor last year. After 30 years playing on a Selmer I got to say the Cannonball is so flexible and fun to play it’s amazing ! Plus the quality is spot on 👍
I think Eric must be one of the best contemporary sax players on the planet. He shreds the horn, all kinds of monster madness in this scene, and I don’t normally post - but had to put a post above the lame comment from two right shoes below. Excellent work Eric, keep growing into an even bigger Monster Player!
Amazing player, Eric Darius! He was just immersing himself totally in that music. With great skill and body language, I can’t help but replay the song again and again.
•Tevis Laukat on Bari- outstanding! The Altoist listens to Maceo Parker and Adderly shattering tone. Great solos by all Saxophonists. Awesome groove by the hard hitting drummer
Damn it's like that sax was glued to his mouth when he was born! The man is speaking saxophonese !
Lmao thats funny
It's saxophonecian, actually
I wish we have accent or language like that😅
Habla saxofón nativo

If this doesn't make you fall in love with the sax, I don't know what will!
look at video called Tubax by Moon Hooch XD
I already fell in love with it 8 years ago 😂
I am drummer but I really love sax but the drum will always be my passion❤️🥁
Pretty much anything Leo P does.
Sammie Sanzone as soon I picked u my alto i loved it
4:12 is the nastiest growl and one of my favorite so far. Randall Clark never dissapoint when it comes to growl sound.
It’s actually called a split tone, Randal Clark made a video explaining how he does it
See that split tone is why I play sax I want to be that guy who can do that
The lead alto is killing it!!
Well I guess I'm late to the party but that's a tenor
@@iandehaan649 if you check description, it's an alto, I mean like there's two altos, 1 tenor, and a bari
Ian DeHaan thats an alto🤦♂️ if u actually think thats a tenor then ur dumb
That's not a tenor lmao. The one in the white shirt is a tenor.
U're all dumb, that's a C-melody sax ...
That bass lick in 6:04 is insane!
A round of applause for Eric Darius! He's actually so rude in this, he killed it! Actual goals! The Baritone was good as well

This reminds me of PRINCE saying "real music for real music lovers." And this band hits that nail right on the head. Absolutely fantastic.

That was so much fun watching that Lead Sax player!!!

Fancy seeing you here! lol
Hi Anthony!

Anthony your here

Eric showing what it's like to have full command of an instrument! Just living in the music and melody.
I'm still perplex by the fact that the lead alto grooved the crap out of me with just his sax. I Felt his energy! GG!
Tevis punches it out with the Bari. The Alto man is exceptional, that silver horn has a magnificent tone. Highly skilled combination.
So wholesome, all the sax players standing and looking in awe at each other soloing
Outstanding job performed by Eric Darius! He's by far my favorite Saxophone player now. He plays with such passion that it's obvious this man is doing what he loves and is living his dream. Amazing! :)
Matthew Fox hes the only saxophone player
@@ChronoKnight-hj8ps I know it's been 10 months since you commented this but what.
Do you not see like the whole team is made of saxophones.
I agree 100%
who is he? 4:12
OMG... ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!
5:02 damn, that note! ... Darius is extraordinary
no auto tune. no samples. authentic talent. kudos to the band. well got damn for E.D. for morphing into the zone. powerful.
I can't get enough of this! 😀 Eric Darius was one of the artists that influenced me to get a Cannonball Big Bell Stone Series!
ladysmoothsax:
How much did you pay for it and where can I hear your music?
Just speechless this is incredible!!!

What a dream to be able to even play half as good as that!
Could listen to this ALL DAY. Awww yeah! 🎷🎷🎷🎷🎸🎸🎹🥁🎶🎶
Break it down, get funky, get loose!
Great band, great arrangement, all the saxophonists were superb.
Dude on right end, rocks that sax like a guitar! 🤘😁
Eric's neck strap is AMAZING!
Joey Lancia and only he can wear it. I remember when I first saw it. I was like "aw heck naw". lol
matches his personality perfectly!
lmao where can i get one
Evertime I listen to this with Eric Darius's astounding mastery of the saxophone...I am humbled. Wow ...
this is a real music
The energy of that guy just made me smile uncontrollably
What a fantastic player
Alto

Bari sax here, just gotta say the all black bari looks like a dream to play LOVE THIS COVER ❤
Listen to the bass at 6:04 OMG!!
At 06.20 is a creazy
David Damm oh fuck you so right dude!!!
1 ĺn 970
Bro I heard this song at a party. I heard the bass and immediately searched it up and see if anyone commented on that bass.
YES! And he had a really solid groove throughout the song!
i started playing saxophone 2 years ago... i fell in love with it watching this video... i love you black man on the right with your silver alto
This man is the cure for depression that medicine still seeks
Bought a cannonball raven tenor last year. After 30 years playing on a Selmer I got to say the Cannonball is so flexible and fun to play it’s amazing ! Plus the quality is spot on 👍
wow I'm astonished until now! The sound,articulations, musicality!You guys are great! Fantastic!
Just found this video by accident...Eric Darius is a musical genius...A caliber of musician that is one of a kind...
The way he handles that sax is so forceful, yet gentle. You can tell he loves to play it.
I have never seen so much heart and soul from a sax before. Bravo guys
4:37 Great Charlie Parker quote, love it
What song?
Damn!!! Wow!! Love it!!!
The lead saxphone is killing it!!!

Excellent work Eric, keep growing into an even bigger Monster Player!
Super playing Eric! I'm sure Grover looks down and smiles everytime this video is played!
Who is listening to their music like me?
It is a delight to listen to it at full volume, at night, and driving on the road. ✨❤️🙌
No cap I'm listening to this on a regular basis
I just found you guys!!! Amazing!!! So fun to hear and watch...thank you :)
That baritone was so epic!! Especially at 2:49
Sebastian Garcia please don’t ever call a bari sax a baritone ever again😅
Just call it a bari
AESTHETIC AsTrOnAuTa why does it matter? It’s the same thing -_-
Amazing player, Eric Darius! He was just immersing himself totally in that music. With great skill and body language, I can’t help but replay the song again and again.
Darius is so sick, I absolutely love his Sound.
There are no words to describe how good this is! Loved every second
What an amazing lead! Loved it!!! 😍😍😍 Proud cannonball owner!! ❤
Sheeeesh. Darius is a some kinda sax monster. The man screams THE most liberated alto sax ever.
That movement of the silver sax is sooo cool 😎 love it ♥
Eric Darius!! Too Awesome!!
Just WOW!!!!!
Fantastic - big Kenny Garrett vibes off the feature Altoist. Really melodic whilst stepping out too, love it ❤
S E N S A C I O N A L.... arrepiante amo sax e essa composição está demais... parabéns
BLESS YOU YOU ALL I LOVE THE SAX!!!!!
Wonderful work guys especially by Eric
Eric is a man possessed by a supernatural force! Nice job everyone!
Hot damn! Call the police & the fireman.
Puts a big smile on your face and dance in your step
Wow! Incredible, really no words to describe this jamming out!

Black dud is really rocking!! Best music of all times!!!
I keep coming back to this and the live version of Spain by Stevie Wonder and his band whenever i want to hear great music and just vibe. ♥️👍
Thoroughly Enjoyed that !!!
....gracias por compartir tan buena música , excelente TODOS....el saxo solista y los demás ...da gusto escucharlos .
I have listened to this at least six times; I'm totally in love! Thank you guys. x
Fantastic musicians!!!
That was straight fire. From everyone, the Rhodes, the drums, the guitarz, and god damn, the bassist. Man was ripping it.
That black guy is going to need an Exorcist to get his soul back out of that sax, man he poured his existence into that instrument!
100%!
man wtf
Great comment!!
@@geiletoni764 Maybe one of the best I´ve ever seen! :D
The power of Sax compels you!
The black guy is from the Soul movie. Wow he is amazing!!!!!
I never really liked the sax, but this band changed my mind. I avoided any band that had a sax when I was a teenager.This is really good though.
You don't know what you've been missing out on
I avoid bands that *don’t* have saxes lol
the black man of the alto sax is amazing!!!!
The 2nd alto is so underrated!
Why? He is playing good. But i don't really like his sound its like paper 😂
@@sermit4826 everyone has different taste lmao
damn that black bari sax melted my heart. looks amazing
Well....Guess I'm getting a sax. This revived my passion I once had in HS.
