This was 9yrs ago.... NOW... I watched them headline a stage at Boomtown festival 2023 !!! These guys have really made a name for themselves and am so proud of them !!! They were the highlight of the festival for me !! Well done guys!
what what? I was about to post "GET THE BAND BACK TOGETHER... at least for charity events or whatnot." I'll have to check this out - did they include the lady what's his name has been with (2-Saxy)? That would be cool combining the two. I shall Rabbit-Hole this. Good Intel. Thanks.
Trumpet guy is absolutely fucking murdering it, savage as hell - I wonder how many people lost their jobs because they were late to work because of this banger
He looks SO young here! I can't imagine having that level of talent and I was 1st chair Alto every year of school except my senior year when I was switched to Baritone Sax (what he plays) because most of our bass section graduated the year before. It is a TOUGH instrument to make sound on.
@@Bassassinator I played baritone for the high school swing band and for the admiral's band in Coast Guard. Ever try to high port 30 lb's of brass around the quad because some damned flute player screwed up? This guy's octave jumps to harmonics and growling tone and complete control and mastery of the instrument is unlike any I've seen. I could do most things with a saxophone but this guy is amazing. I also went to electronics school on Governor's Island when it was a TRACEN for the Coast Guard. I've been to exact location of this and used to drag a B flat soprano around with me. One night I played the blues with a clarinet and banjo player busking outside of a bar in Greenwich Village. It was MUCH fun. New York City - bad place to send 19-year-olds for electronics training (I did pass but barely) but man am I glad they did. They've since closed the base and relocated the schools there, though. I had too much fun.
@@richardreynolds6398 Man, I was 1st chair Marching, Concert, AND Jazz band Alto for most of school. I was technically “good”, but I knew I would never have a chance at a Sax career. I only played Bari my senior year because a ton of our low brass section graduated and myself and Jodi Pichoff on the Tuba had to basically carry the bass section! I was the only woodwind with the strength and wind power to get through a half-time show and all four quarters. I had some lungs. I never got even close to understanding what this man does to that instrument.
I just saw these dudes live in the middle of Kansas. Sludge said "the day i decided to become an artist is the day i decided to succeed at it" these dudes are MY heroes
@@bjknuckles7873, I remember looking at their tour schedule a few years ago, and they did a concert in LFK at The Granada on Mass. Truthfully, I'm waiting for them to roll into KC and stop at the Uptown Theater.
I realize I’m very late to y’all’s conversation but if any of you do happen to see this comment, I’d love to know the name that this band goes by in 2023. They’re all such incredible musicians, I need hear more from them! Lol Thank you in advance!
Watching the video I was focused on the sax player because of his showmanship. Then I downloaded the audio, and the trumpet player CLEARLY steals the show. Absolutely incredible.
+Tycho Nielson I worry that the drummer may need to cinch up his drum et al. He keeps hunching over it. Hope he doesn't develop pain in his back. That drummer is something! It's always the drummer for some girls!
That’s how I feel about this video too. I remember seeing it years ago for the first time on Reddit. I still laugh thinking about one of the comments. It was something like, just imagine you’re trying to commute hungover and passing these guys.
They truly are a band of equals. You know you need to hear this again! I'm thinking of using this video as a part of a lesson on effective teamwork and demoarchi.
@@Kaouix Just like @Graeme Hemphill-Hart says in a wormhole all physics as we now it cese to function, even time as we know it, and this man has such amazing timing on the drums that he could play in time even if time as we know it didn't exist. It's an exaggeration but seems fit for the king of sludge
Can we just give credit to that sax player. All that fancy foot work and bouncing around. Not one missed beat or botched note. And the speed and wild sounds he creates. Bravo.
I am so impressed that someone was able to take their public school concert band experience and actually become a real rock star without ditching the brass for a guitar.
Alot of you say these guys are really good, but as a musician, i can tell these guys are REALLY FUCKING GOOD! The guy on the baritone saxaphone is fucking phenomanal. Playing really high notes on a normally bass instrument is really difficult and only easy if you practice alot. The trumpet player is also really good and fast paced, and the drumber is very very good as well.
+Atheon, Time's Conflux as a baritone saxophone player isn't hard to play high notes, its hard to play overtones well, which is how he is doing some of those squealing noises.
+Atheon, Time's Conflux it was a fair thought, brass players have harder of a time hitting high Notes, reed players have a hard time playing lower notes because the reed vibrates more for lower notes making it hard to tune and intonate( this may only apply to saxophone, haven't played clarinet in a long time)
+gamerone00 I also play the bari, and the high notes arent really hard to hit but they are harder to get a good sweet tone on. But still the bari player was great, and hilarious!
It's simple, understand you're here for a fraction of time. Don't be a dick to others, in fact, love them. Enjoy this brief moment of existence, because why not?
The percussionist is a BEAST ! God bless that guy cause according to MILES DAVIS every good horn player NEEDS a good drummer ! Props and kudos bruh ! The trio is awesome. Im a fan !
All 3 of these guys compliment each other SO well! They just sound so complete with each other. But I agree. That drummer REALLY ties them all together so nicely. He's like the glue that binds it all just right.
As a drummer, all the comments giving the drummer praise makes me really happy. He might not be the star of the show but there is no music with out rhythm ❤️🤘🏻
@@TheWiery322 No, technically true. It might sound as if it's unmeasured, but that's what a good composer can do. We can have no melody without rhythm.
8:35 Santa Claus just casually watching street performers on his smoke break in a subway might just be the most New York City thing I've seen in my life
HOLY HELL!!!!!!! I have spent a career with music...and three HUGE talents meld here..your Metronomes are all fucking ROCK solid, that man would get respect from Sly Dunbar in three beats. I toured with a sax jazz legend virtuoso who could have been taught stuff by your rockabilly saxman, who blows his frickin soul through that reed on the danged subway.. and as for your wailing horn? Dude, you are blowing flames through that pipe.... I am a new fan, saw a viral on FB, without trumpet.. so finding this has blown me away! Each one of your talents is prodigious.
Great show in Toronto. Last night at the Phoenix. The guys hung around and met my wife and son after. Cool guys. They played like this and even way faster for 2 hrs straight. I have never seen a show like that ever. It was incredible. Thanks so much for playing your ass off for us.
The trumpet tone is genuinely the most amazing thing in the world. Basically the sort of volume you'd want for a massive marching band, but played in a tiny band of three people that always performs in enclosed spaces. Yet somehow, with how wrong it should be, it is absolutely perfect. The last song is absolutely beautiful from Matt Doe!
For reals! I was offered a $50 bill to play the (French)horn I'd just bought in the (French)Quarter!lol I keep sayin ima do a Sunday scrapin it up down there eventually...from the ATX;-)
I have never in my life heard anyone who could make a sax sound like didgeridoo. And was he at some point playing harmonies with himself? And what a solid drum section you have; steady as a locomotive, with the occational spice. And Mr Trumpet: any ol’ jazz player would envy you your ‘flames through that pipe’ (to quote +Presenterbloke). My favourite, though, is the sax. How often do you see the bass voice playing lead? And I love his dance steps.
No disrespect to Too Many Zoos, but there is a band you should look into called Moon Hooch. They are very similar, but instead of a trumpet they have two sax's and they do some really dirty didgeridoo sound stuff.
We found them when my daughter was interested in learning saxophone. She ended up being a drummer girl 🥁🥁🥁🥁 Thank you Too many Zooz and specially David Parks, great drummer!!!
Can’t say I’ve ever heard anything like this. Truly unique sound. I’m blown away by the creativity and innovation, as well as the raw talent of all three performers. Wow!!!!!!!
I was in New York a few summers ago. We were in the subway and we heard music so we headed over, and it was too many zooz! I still have the cd we bought from them. Best Buskers ever!
DeadShot 1278 considering your name is Deadshot 1278, and you spelt Tenor as “tener” and Bari(tone) as “barry” I doubt you’d even be able to play a concert Bb scale :^]
Hey, check out there performance between the trains in the beginning, then once the trains in NYC stopped they merge onto one of the trains wearing lots of pink I believe, the drummer had on these funny pink glasses, but, the trumpeter has on skinny pants and a shirt with a huge cat on it, them crazy NYC boys.
That percussionist is a rock. Man is just unreal. Nothing complicated but musical and just so solid. They other two guys wouldn't be able to flex like they are without that absolute superhero behind them 🤣 he even slowed it down in such a way it was barely noticeable.
Wow! All three of these young men are amazing. I came here because I saw the sax player on the CMAs last night and wanted to find out more. What a cool thing to find two more amazing talents as well.
If someone could play a trumpet like that and move like the bari then they would win my everything, it's just not a thing, this is coming from a 4th year trumpet.
Just coming back to this 9 years later. Really hard to find due to Leo's several collaborations since up to present...just until it hit me searching 'zooz trumpet' and BANG there it was again ❤❤❤ Greets from Denmark
Smart move. You don't want idiot Santas blocking the walkways and getting the music shut down, and if this is part of a SantaCon, I really feel for the dude, since those are filled with drunk idiots.
I play trumpet, but jeez I'm garbage to the trumpet dude. The King of Sludge keeps everything alive, never misses a beat, and god, the baritone saxophone guys gives the best bass line while also keeping an amazing melody in his soli with the King of Sludge. Wow. I'm amazed. Also that baritone saxophone has the best range.
Inspiration _ range is easy on Bari, I’m completely trash (been playing for 6 months, most of that with a broken piece of crap Bari, and 3 years of clarinet before that) and I can bottom out at its low A fine and get all the way up as high as you can go before Altissimo notes at an F sharp an octave above the staff
I can barely THINK that fast let alone play my Sax that fast …… my son put me onto these guys. I’m 63 and absolutely love the vibe and energy, my son has bought me tickets to see them in London in October in a club in Shoreditch…..can’t wait!
Way, way, way, way, WAY beyond impressive!! You know that these guys are booked all over the place. The bari-Sax player did a concert at Proms in England. The are a sensation!
Talk about HOT! These guys are incredible! I'm hoping they made a bunch of money......they are worth so much more. Over 11 minutes of greatness! They are all masters of their instruments, the animation of the sax player was a bonus!!!
Just leaving some love for the percussionist, that man holds this all together. Also i think he would finally satisfy Christopher Walkin's need for 'more cowbell'.
Agreed, it's hard to play; while moving. Too Many Zooz was the first that I ever saw. I've found others that move too, since then. RUclips videos: "Paradise Has No Border" Kyoto Tachibana SHS Band Kyoto Tachibana SHS Band 第58回3000人の吹奏楽 京都橘高校吹奏楽部 (June 23, 2018)
The fact that the trumpet player left for a quick second to take care of a few guys and the rest of the band still made it feel like a planned part of the song is a testiment to their skill
It’s a testament to how much they don’t appreciate people over social media. “Get out the camera shot dude, who cares if you like the music, we need our content.” 🤦🏼♂️
@@nat1babySurely they appreciate everyone who stops to listen. Is it so wrong for them to not want a dancing guy blocking one of the players out of the shot in what is a very long and difficult take?
@@nat1baby if you block the bucket they don't get payed... no one wants to walk around a bunch of dumbasses trying to "get in the shot" to drop a 5 in the bucket, they will just walk off. Let alone the fact that one of the dumbasses almost kicked it over.
Don't worry about him - he's left comments on lots of Leo's videos. It's clear he hates both TMZ and Leo so I've no idea what nat1baby is even doing here@@welltoucansamatthatgame
Remembered watching this seven years ago. Checking it out once again after all these years, and damn it is even better than I remembered. Absolute fire
three of the hardest working musicans ive seen perform together there all pulling off a miracle i been listening to it for 3 hours non stop w headphones cranked up!!!
Figured I tune in for a couple of minutes...I couldn't turn it off, watched /listened to the entire segment. Absolutely, fabulous musicians every one of them, seriously blessed.
I'm in love with the drummer. Actually all of them... they all work so hard for amazing entertainment! Bottom line. I love how their music is so soulful!
Saw them blow the roof off a beach bar in Perranporth uk. The best live act I have seen in a long while.totally surprised me as I had never heard of them till my wife got us tickets.almost sounded like a techno set awesome ✌️
I get out of breath playing my baritone sax when I don't move around at all. Props to this guy! He's awesome! Same with the other two guys. They're amazing!!
The baritone sax is also a suprisingly amazing player, the baritone is very hard to play compared to alto and tenor and he plays the harder range on the baritone too. Im very impressed.
being a saxophone player that type of jumping a round while playing is very impressive along the tricks he does with making the Bari squeal and almost quaver is amazing all that combined takes a lot of hard work and practice
I'm a musician (I play bass) and I play in a couple of bands with trumpet players and I know that what the trumpet player is doing is just ridiculously hard. Doing that on any brass instrument is very difficult. He must have biceps on his lips because it takes very, very strong lips and embouchure to do that. The baritone player is incredible too with the growling and singing while playing techniques. Drummer is solid. Keeps a very good beat and has some cool rhythms with the different cow bells. I'd love to jam with these guys.
Glad this randomly came up in my recommendations. I’ve never heard anyone play AND dance that well at the same time as Leo. Hope these guys come to Wisconsin or Illinois once the pandemic ends to check them out 👍
They look like they are straight from a cartoon. they're like cartoon characters. with johnny bravos hair, the awkward chubby big kid and sick black drummer!
Watch their video for "Bedford", they look even more cartoonish there. Sludge in a pink hoodie and pink goggles looks like a crazy hobo, Doe with ridiculously curly hair and pube 'stache, and Leo with blue hair and huge sunglasses.
My god props to all. The sax sounded so great, and I didn't know those sounds could come from that instrument. That was some bad ass trumpet playing, too. I played the drums for a long time in life, and that dude could straight play those skins, man. Awesome job!
Went to their show in St Louis this fall. I’ve never seen anything like it. Found this video over five years ago and can’t stop coming back. Do whatever it takes to go see them!
This was 9yrs ago.... NOW... I watched them headline a stage at Boomtown festival 2023 !!! These guys have really made a name for themselves and am so proud of them !!! They were the highlight of the festival for me !! Well done guys!
what what? I was about to post "GET THE BAND BACK TOGETHER... at least for charity events or whatnot."
I'll have to check this out - did they include the lady what's his name has been with (2-Saxy)? That would be cool combining the two.
I shall Rabbit-Hole this. Good Intel. Thanks.
Leo must be in a nursing home by now.
I was going to ask "where are they now?" but it sounds like they are still doing it!
Soooooo happy for them, wondered what happened to them
Thank you for sharing that! I’m so glad they’re still playing! They’re INSANELY TALENTED! Would love to hear them in person!
Trumpet guy is absolutely fucking murdering it, savage as hell - I wonder how many people lost their jobs because they were late to work because of this banger
I would have called in lol I would have told em I found something and will catch the next train.
I play trumpet so I can judge this guy accurately.
10/10 amazing
Worth it
Matt Doe is the trumpet dude
🤣
I love how the trumpet player absolutely overblows the trumpet, creating a sound that fits this group perfectly
Yes!!! Finally someone gets it. He gets ripped on in so many comments for having "bad" tone, it's intentional and absolutely genius.
I totally agree I play trumpet and know a lot of their songs but I always lapse after playing songs like this and will growl in a concert band lol
I will say, he straight K.O.ed that kid @ 5:36. Like "THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" 😂😂😂
Not to mention he graduated from Juliard school of music I believe so he knows what he's doing
fuck kyle Graham not a musician either but I think it means distorted sound perhaps
drummer = living metronome.
trumpet = can play a note no one has ever head before.
sax = has been playing for eons and it shows
He looks SO young here! I can't imagine having that level of talent and I was 1st chair Alto every year of school except my senior year when I was switched to Baritone Sax (what he plays) because most of our bass section graduated the year before. It is a TOUGH instrument to make sound on.

If I lived in NYC I'd probably be late everyday to my job because I'd stay watching them the whole time
Inspiration _ same
Can’t say I’ve ever heard anything like this. Truly unique sound. I’m blown away by the creativity and innovation, as well as the raw talent of all three performers. Wow!!!!!!!
I was in New York a few summers ago. We were in the subway and we heard music so we headed over, and it was too many zooz! I still have the cd we bought from them. Best Buskers ever!
Played trumpet for years, this guy is an absolute monster. Shocking
I play the sax and I can’t even express to you how difficult it is to play THAT fast on a BARITONE
He has great punctuation!
But it’s Leo p
DeadShot 1278 considering your name is Deadshot 1278, and you spelt Tenor as “tener” and Bari(tone) as “barry” I doubt you’d even be able to play a concert Bb scale :^]
@@swagdesu6636 Thanks, swag desu...
Swag Desu you can't be more correct
the drummer def need props he is awesome for real.. loving his beats
These guys must have a back story...Too good
The seemingly innocuous trumpeter at 3:30 actually runs off screen to killspray some bruhs pushin on his block because the streets don't forgive.
Dafuk XD, is that what that was. Lol
I think he was changing mouth pieces
I know, check out my comment, He could be president or a gang leader with his look.
Hey, check out there performance between the trains in the beginning, then once the trains in NYC stopped they merge onto one of the trains wearing lots of pink I believe, the drummer had on these funny pink glasses, but, the trumpeter has on skinny pants and a shirt with a huge cat on it, them crazy NYC boys.
@@mattnicklaw8385 You mean this video? ruclips.net/video/IMyqasy2Lco/видео.html
That percussionist is a rock. Man is just unreal. Nothing complicated but musical and just so solid. They other two guys wouldn't be able to flex like they are without that absolute superhero behind them 🤣 he even slowed it down in such a way it was barely noticeable.
Bless you for filming widescreen at 1080p.
im like 90% sure there shouldn’t be ad breaks on this.
I wouldn't mind watching two at the beginning and one at the end only to have no cut in the middle of my vibe.
Get the youtube vanced app my bretheren!
they should've had the ad when those santas interrupted
I will NOT be shopping at Ashley Furniture! 🤣🤣🤣
That's what VPNs are for 😉

Underrated comment
8 years later and STILL THE RADDEST VIDEO ON THE INTERNET! Thanks for capturing
This lung capacity is bigger than my dreams jeez
circular breathing
Dox Ox that’s not at all what this is. Is diafram workouts and breathing in between either measures or rest
@@bleach9945 yes while that does help, circular breathing is used by a lot of musicians and leo p is probably one of the ones that uses the technique
Not really. You can see him breathing in each time he isnt playing a note.
@@ThePeacePlant I never said he used circular breathing in this video, I said that leo p is probably one of the ones who uses the technique.
( 3000 times later). Still get goose bumps everytime i hear this
Santa Claus is looking at them wondering "what the fuck am I doing with my life?"
Santa Claus?!
theagent104 He looked so comically bemused, just standing there in his fake beard.
3:25 and here, especially 8:31
He was looking at that Kettle One Poster real hard, couldn't wait to get home to make a drink!!
Delivering toys and keeping the elves on task. Duh!
As a musician, these people are seriously amazing. The amount of hours to become that good… this is astounding, amazing, and incredible.
Wow! All three of these young men are amazing. I came here because I saw the sax player on the CMAs last night and wanted to find out more. What a cool thing to find two more amazing talents as well.
The trumpet❤️❤️ Jesus Christ I know he isn't like running all over the place like the Bari but damn he can play
Definitely! When I watched the video, I was focused on the sax guy, but when I listened to it without the video, the trumpet guy absolutely stood out.
If someone could play a trumpet like that and move like the bari then they would win my everything, it's just not a thing, this is coming from a 4th year trumpet.
I would definitely have to say they both killed it. The sax guy's notes in fast succession is incredible. The trumpet solo was great too.
Acidic Romance lots of people can. They're in the Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corp Trumpet line. Look em up. Blue Devils. Seriously. They're insane
I think he can play well but compared to Matt I really wouldnt consider them on the same level.
Just coming back to this 9 years later.
Really hard to find due to Leo's several collaborations since up to present...just until it hit me searching 'zooz trumpet' and BANG there it was again ❤❤❤
Greets from Denmark
3:33 when your trumpet player is also your bouncer.
And didn't miss A BEAT
He's genuinely one of the coolest people ever.
Smart move. You don't want idiot Santas blocking the walkways and getting the music shut down, and if this is part of a SantaCon, I really feel for the dude, since those are filled with drunk idiots.
@@seymourglass26 what are the odds someone was watching this at the same time.
But yeah no, SantaCon is kinda scary ngl
He could have been ypur little brother, Grossburger
That saxaphone player is so ridiculously talented ~
All of them are. The trumpet player has crazy control and their drummer has amazing rhythm and stamina.
so damn right and they all have the passion
I play trumpet, but jeez I'm garbage to the trumpet dude. The King of Sludge keeps everything alive, never misses a beat, and god, the baritone saxophone guys gives the best bass line while also keeping an amazing melody in his soli with the King of Sludge. Wow. I'm amazed. Also that baritone saxophone has the best range.
Inspiration _ range is easy on Bari, I’m completely trash (been playing for 6 months, most of that with a broken piece of crap Bari, and 3 years of clarinet before that) and I can bottom out at its low A fine and get all the way up as high as you can go before Altissimo notes at an F sharp an octave above the staff
I cannot overtone in the bari but I am mainly a tenor player so that’s why(also I use a plastic Reed, which may explain my dry sound)
man that guy on the saxophone is INSANE !
+Timo Bonner It's Leo Pellegrino
+Timo Bonner All three of these guys are insane
+Timo Bonner What's insane? These crazy prices on duct tape!!!!
+Timo Bonner he makes barisax really hot haha
+lightsoutisay You could say it's bari saxy lol
I can barely THINK that fast let alone play my Sax that fast …… my son put me onto these guys. I’m 63 and absolutely love the vibe and energy, my son has bought me tickets to see them in London in October in a club in Shoreditch…..can’t wait!
How was it??
I hope she finds this. I’d pike to know too!!
That trumpet is crying the sax is trying to cheer it up and the drums are providing the situation.
tag urself im the drums
Julian Navarro 😁😁😁
Julian Navarro fucking beautiful way to describe this video
🤙🏼
Dena Nagy im the trumpet 😂
The drummer is pretty insane he has crazy stamina
It takes 2 to keep up with him.
his name is David "King of Sludge" Parks
racist...
that is his literal stage name, I never mentioned race
@Tom I don't think you understand racism and how it works
Way, way, way, way, WAY beyond impressive!! You know that these guys are booked all over the place. The bari-Sax player did a concert at Proms in England. The are a sensation!
That concert was awesome,and it's here on youtube
Talk about HOT! These guys are incredible! I'm hoping they made a bunch of money......they are worth so much more. Over 11 minutes of greatness! They are all masters of their instruments, the animation of the sax player was a bonus!!!
since then they achieved a lot... BBC concert, tours, etc
Just leaving some love for the percussionist, that man holds this all together.
Also i think he would finally satisfy Christopher Walkin's need for 'more cowbell'.
I'm pretty sure that's a wood block
I mean the instrument, not literally a block of wood
Sean Mitchell Fair enough Sean, it is indeed. I thought it was one of the hard plastic bells. I stand corrected. It is in fact, a plastic woodblock.
I love how the drummer and the sax can get into the groove, but the trumpet player just stands there unmoving the whole time
It's really hard to play trumpet while moving 😄
Yeah it’s pretty hard to play while moving
Yeah he may not be moving bodily in the groove but every note is in the groove.
Agreed, it's hard to play; while moving. Too Many Zooz was the first that I ever saw. I've found others that move too, since then. RUclips videos: "Paradise Has No Border" Kyoto Tachibana SHS Band
Kyoto Tachibana SHS Band 第58回3000人の吹奏楽 京都橘高校吹奏楽部 (June 23, 2018)
His groove transcends time and space so all we know is it is the shrieking that comes it is his metal black hole
The fact that the trumpet player left for a quick second to take care of a few guys and the rest of the band still made it feel like a planned part of the song is a testiment to their skill
The trumpet player is a good bouncer too, I agree
It’s a testament to how much they don’t appreciate people over social media. “Get out the camera shot dude, who cares if you like the music, we need our content.” 🤦🏼♂️
@@nat1babySurely they appreciate everyone who stops to listen. Is it so wrong for them to not want a dancing guy blocking one of the players out of the shot in what is a very long and difficult take?
@@nat1baby if you block the bucket they don't get payed... no one wants to walk around a bunch of dumbasses trying to "get in the shot" to drop a 5 in the bucket, they will just walk off. Let alone the fact that one of the dumbasses almost kicked it over.
Don't worry about him - he's left comments on lots of Leo's videos. It's clear he hates both TMZ and Leo so I've no idea what nat1baby is even doing here@@welltoucansamatthatgame
After all these years, I'm still in love with this whole thing.
Glad to see they had such a great crowd. They deserve even bigger ones!
oh, they will have MUCH bigger crowds!
James C
They deserve China as their crowd
Remembered watching this seven years ago. Checking it out once again after all these years, and damn it is even better than I remembered. Absolute fire
three of the hardest working musicans ive seen perform together there all pulling off a miracle i been listening to it for 3 hours non stop w headphones cranked up!!!
Figured I tune in for a couple of minutes...I couldn't turn it off, watched /listened to the entire segment. Absolutely, fabulous musicians every one of them, seriously blessed.
that bari sax tho
like dude oh my god
That's Leo Pelligrino he's also the Bari Sax player for Lucky Chops
Honestly lungs of steel man
He is the Bizarro Justin Bieber. Good looking, talented and nobody wants to kill him in a brutal, yet entertaining way.
+The Pandora Guy that's because hes a sax player and not a twat.
SaxandViolins
Acceptable.
I'm in love with the drummer. Actually all of them... they all work so hard for amazing entertainment! Bottom line. I love how their music is so soulful!
Leo with natural hair colour?!
It’s a wig! 😉
This was an early video of him. He hasn't yet reached full rockstar status.
Leo P with natural hair is not Leo P.
And less weight
@Šüßhį Træßh nope , he created too many zooz before lucky chops , but he left lucky chops to go full on too many zooz
Saw them blow the roof off a beach bar in Perranporth uk. The best live act I have seen in a long while.totally surprised me as I had never heard of them till my wife got us tickets.almost sounded like a techno set awesome ✌️
All of them absolutely killed it but trumpet man really did it for me 🔥🔥🔥
I get out of breath playing my baritone sax when I don't move around at all. Props to this guy! He's awesome! Same with the other two guys. They're amazing!!
seriously why has this only got 2 million views, it should have 500 million, this would make anyones day better.
because other people don't look at it this way
2024 and this still fkn slaps. All round great performance and meticulous delivery. And Leo, the shuffling sax is just all time top tier ❤❤❤
The baritone sax is also a suprisingly amazing player, the baritone is very hard to play compared to alto and tenor and he plays the harder range on the baritone too. Im very impressed.
I don't even know how he dances with a Bari sax and also with a neckstrap not even a harness
+Alec Reyes Probably lots and lots of practice.
I don't think it'd be wrong to say he's one of the best in the world
Ninja Number 9 Agreed
No its not. Any sax player knows this. It is known.
Brief adjustment to the mouthpiece. Could even play with Alto mouthpiece.
Love these guys
The melody they pull out at 4:54 is just fantastic!
being a saxophone player that type of jumping a round while playing is very impressive along the tricks he does with making the Bari squeal and almost quaver is amazing all that combined takes a lot of hard work and practice
+Jimmy Santowsk This isn't my style of music at all but that sax play has some mad skills.
My favorite version....from the acoustics in the subway and the performance of the musicians. Love it.
This is effing amazing!
Oh man, until the camera turned around, I had no idea there were so many people watching!
The kid from bad Santa killing it on trumpet.
This is the best comment ive ever seen in my life
Oooww ooowww oowwwww oowww
That explains why Santa was there.
@@YoDronez Yeah, but he looked sober. That wasn't *his* Santa.
Wanna sandwich
People seem to like the sax more. I for my part absolutely adore the sharp sound of a trumpet.
I'm here for the trumpet, insane skill.
These gentlemen are gifted and absolutely AWESOME!!
The trumpet's solo at 4:31 is absolute fire! 🔥
thats not a solo...
@@kurosakiichigo7475 that mostly dominated by trunpet rythm is awesome! 🔥
@@kurosakiichigo7475
It’s most def a solo. Likely an improvised one as well.
You know you're doing it right, when Santa Claus took a time off to watch you perform.
Santa really looked contemplative of his life choices, like "man, if I could only go back to 1992 and commit myself to the instrument."
@@kirkks76 1992?
They need an NPR tiny desk concert
that is a fantastic idea!
You should check out moon hooch on NPR tiny desk concerts.
Yessssssss
I love the wutang npr tiny desk concert
For sure 😊
I keep coming back to this a couple of times of year. The whole thing is phenomenal, but that middle section? Makes this middle aged man cry for joy.
This is going to go hard for years to come. timeless
Every performance by too many zooz is a best performance.
These three guys work harder and play from heart better than anyone i can find on youtube
I'm a musician (I play bass) and I play in a couple of bands with trumpet players and I know that what the trumpet player is doing is just ridiculously hard. Doing that on any brass instrument is very difficult. He must have biceps on his lips because it takes very, very strong lips and embouchure to do that. The baritone player is incredible too with the growling and singing while playing techniques. Drummer is solid. Keeps a very good beat and has some cool rhythms with the different cow bells. I'd love to jam with these guys.
I never grow tired of listening to this, and other early days of Leo P and pals. So fresh and so musical its unreal........Alioban
Glad this randomly came up in my recommendations. I’ve never heard anyone play AND dance that well at the same time as Leo. Hope these guys come to Wisconsin or Illinois once the pandemic ends to check them out 👍
I nearly passed out trying to play the insane high part like 7 minutes in on trumpet due to pressure headache
Just don’t use pressure lol. If you’ve ever played with braces you’d understand.
I try playing the Baritone Saxophone part on my trombone, I almost passed out as well......but I succeeded.....sorta
Yeah my lung capacity can't handle that so I'ma pass and just play running in the 90's on my trumpet
They look like they are straight from a cartoon. they're like cartoon characters. with johnny bravos hair, the awkward chubby big kid and sick black drummer!
Watch their video for "Bedford", they look even more cartoonish there. Sludge in a pink hoodie and pink goggles looks like a crazy hobo, Doe with ridiculously curly hair and pube 'stache, and Leo with blue hair and huge sunglasses.
I would watch that cartoon
@@williamjackson5805 me too
You could call the drummer funky, stupid talented, metronome spirited, but your simple ass went with black. How witty
My god props to all. The sax sounded so great, and I didn't know those sounds could come from that instrument. That was some bad ass trumpet playing, too. I played the drums for a long time in life, and that dude could straight play those skins, man. Awesome job!
is this just a regular thing in new york???? everyone is just walking by....i would praise these dudes!
Yeah. Very common to see people playing in the subway.
Hoi! Im tem!
Also when you go to the subway you don't have time to stop and watch, we gotta get to our train.
the reason some people just walk by is because they have places to be, they aren't at a concert.
Hoi! Im tem! Also when watching these kinda performances, if there allot of people watching it makes it easier for pick pocketors to rob you.
Notice he has his wallet in front pocket lol
7:49 Santa Clause be lookin at that pole like "This isn't the North Pole..."

+Momochki you just won the internet
ROFL

Wow. Amazing musicians. I'm out of breath just watching them. That drummer. Wow. The new Energizer bunny.
Went to their show in St Louis this fall. I’ve never seen anything like it. Found this video over five years ago and can’t stop coming back. Do whatever it takes to go see them!
