Cantaloupe Island - Eric Darius & Rocco Ventrella (Smooth Jazz Family)

[@DeaconFrancis]

Eric is simply a phenomenon. What a beast ... his licks are sooooooooo out there.

[@brittanyatterberry]

Darius has grown so much sense then.. He plays calmer and more controlled. The guy is a beast on LICKS tho.

[@payrocoin]

Eric Darius is no joke, damn!

[@billysimpson3177]

Is that Gerald watching? What an honor Eric. Gerald is the baddest car out here in my opinion

[@saxophoneplayer19]

Eric is on fire! So many outside licks!

[@billysimpson3177]

[@NickLongoMusic]

Guitar player wins!!!

[@TractorMonkeywithJL]

I would have liked to hear some of the melody first before you jump into the improv.

[@MrKaktus87]

В целом, очень круто, но тему можно было разложить аккордами на дуэт. Ну, хотяб часть темы секстами сыгратьОдин саксофон ноту тянет, другой кидает, это не ансамблёво, как минимум. А так пять из пяти) оч крутые паттерны

[@johnstoneb]

I'm a sax player- i get its easy to fall into the trap of playing licks before, in between and way too often, instead of the melody. We call it wanking. This song if studied, has a lot of avenues other than major and minor pentatonic licks. No disrespect to these players and their audience though. Just providing a balanced opinion from someone who has done the exact same thing.

[@raulvalentesaxofoneparatod1468]

Pentatonic pentatonic pentatonic... 😕

[@J040Z1NH0]

raul valente nope, many other scales too

[@FunkOsax]

Dreadful sound engineering, but great playing
