I used to be a bari and tenor in separate quartets. Videos like these make me miss it a lot.

[@FinlayStafford]

What unity of sound! If I closed my eyes in the loud moments you could almost be a single accordion player.

Yeah 1:21 feels so good when you play it with your sax

i finally figured out how you guys do it....and it is not fair to call yourselves a quartet cause when you play you are one effing prodigious saxophone beast!

[@SintaQuartet]

Correct. That will be the title of our second CD.

I think you guys are just "sax-syncing" to a sequenced recording. Right? Right? Seriously, that was phenomenal.

Also tenor is the superior instrument

As someone with synesthesia, this song is more dark orange than it is black.

Armed guards on the street corner The false accusations of torture and drugs With the impending loom of the short sharp shock delivered by the recently departed . Conference meetings are shit :)

[@Lilittth190]
