"Uptown Funk" Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars: The Cannonball Band saxophone cover ft Eric Darius

[@connorkonen5770]

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

[@michaelthomas4805]

Yes. The kid can rock it with so much funk

[@luizcarlosmarinho6349]

[@NSC006]

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.

[@carlosd.martinez1457]

Damn it's like that sax was glued to his mouth when he was born! The man is speaking saxophonese !

See that split tone is why I play sax I want to be that guy who can do that

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 think Eric must be one of the best contemporary sax players on the planet.

Excellent work Eric, keep growing into an even bigger Monster Player!
