    2:45 Pause the video. Look at the reaction of the other saxophone players when Eric Marienthal screams up that glissando into his solo. They are knocked out !! When your fellow musicians are impressed and energized by your playing, you know you are doing something right !!

    Bravo, Eric Marienthal !!! You won't hear any alto solo like this in most big bands. Unlike most section players who "drive between the lines" Eric Marienthal combined all the right notes with a huge amount of nasty riffing at full volume insanity that is seriously SICK ! This is the difference between an instrumentalist star and just another competent section player. A star is willing to
    bust through the veneer of polite playing and turn on the afterburners at full throttle. Conformity be damned ! He's going for depth, passion and intensity !!

    I remember seeing this live. I had no idea they were playing at disneyland that day and just happened to be there on that day over 13 years ago. This is the first and only time I got to see them live. It's something that's become a core memory for me.

  • @geniusi810
    @geniusi810 9 лет назад +10

    Love Sal's expression at 2:45 as Eric rips it up! I also loved how he went to the wrong mic first, and in the break in his solo sheepishly moved to the next! All the other guys are just like, "Fuck, I wish I could play like that!"

  • @RhodesMkX
    @RhodesMkX 12 лет назад +30

    The jaw-droppingly funky-ass nature of this chart is only overshadowed by that grandiose saxgasm of a masterpiece coming from the lead alto man's instrument. Mr. Marienthal, you possess the respect of damn near every improvising musician alive after such a display of prowess.

  • @shinnam89
    @shinnam89 13 лет назад +23

  • @frankkcontreras
    @frankkcontreras 10 лет назад +35

    I saw an interview where Eric Marienthal shares that one of his first full-time gigs was with the Disneyland band where he got his break via phone call to play with Chick Corea. I think it's a little ironic that he's back at Disneyland. I wonder what his younger self would have thought if he were told that he'd one day be playing there professionally after travelling the world. I wonder what his younger self would think listening to those licks. What an inspiration.

    Not many people recognize this, but I appreciate the fact that Sal Lozano is getting into Eric's solos, many people in other big bands who are not 1st chair are gloomy assholes who just want to be the sticking out, but someone who can listen to a soloist in the lead chair in front of him/her and show the audience that they genuinely enjoy it is a true honest to goodness person, thanks Sal!

      @southtxguitarist 6 лет назад +12

      Clayton DeVries - Not that Eric isn't fantastic and deserves to be enjoyed by his fellow band members, but I can almost guarantee you that Gordon Goodwin has encouraged this kind of on stage enthusiasm. Our jazz ensemble opened for them at a festival last year, and it was clear to me that a big part of Goodwin's success as a bandleader is the stage presence of the band, something that's often lacking in jazz performances of all kinds. It's not just the music, it's a show.

    • @superrhombus1
      @superrhombus1 4 года назад +1

      Having been a lead trumpet player from day one, I absolutely agree Clayton DeVries! I couldn't wait to hear all solos!!! If you are into the music for the music, no one person holds the spotlight! The band is the spotlight! However, you are correct in that there are those gloomy assholes that feel under appreciated or left out. Poor bastards.

    Ensemble musical performances on RUclips represent some of humankind at its finest: gifted musicians spending a lifetime mastering their instrument, coming together to coordinate a masterwork, and then through the miracle of technology, making it available for all of us to see and hear, for free. And while I usually don't like solos, Eric Marienthal's sax solo is, ahem, off-the-charts.
