El Cerdo Gordo - Doug Webb

[@TrentJacobs]

Dude even busted out the Renaissance loud band for this one!

[@dougwebbmusic2300]

You can tell how many sessions it took to record this by how many different shirts I’m wearing

[@sergiobarrenechea]

and haircuts too

[@mauricemcguillicutty4746]

The Fat Pig indeed! WOW. Multi woodwind virtuosity, amazing composition and arrangement, beautifully produced in all aspects. Thank you! Took me long enough to find you!

[@ericklemm7430]

I bet all those instruments total to well over a half a million dollars 😮

[@dougwebbmusic2300]

Thanks to David Horner for mixing and Ladd and Ester Macintosh for writing such a beautiful tune and a huge thank you to Brandon Wilkins for recording,filming ,editing and producing !!!!!

[@robertglogowski777]

This is just unbelievable! I can't imagine how much time it took not just to accumulate all these instruments, but to be able to play them as well.

[@JRM---516]

Total genius = Doug Webb.

[@saxmusicmail]

"Honey, you have all those instruments and you never play them." (Doug plays them ALL!) FANTASTIC!!! Great performance!

[@sakshamakoloski6321]

You made my day. The best thing I have heard and seen in a while

[@ilovepickles7427]

Bro, I'm not paying your doubling fees. Amazing. Love it.

[@JazzBlissBrazil]

Incredible Doug! You logged a whole lotta hours recording all of those parts, and a whole lotta hours and years learning to play ALL of those instruments! Really sounding amazing! Great piece & arrangement by Ladd too! Thank you for doing this for the pure joy of creation!

[@garyjohnson5050]

I was just going to send you this

[@JazzBlissBrazil]

@@garyjohnson5050, thank you, I appreciate the thought Gary ;)

[@maveri.k]

This is mind blowing! Beyond epic, unimaginable performance, let alone the collection 🤯🤯! Literally stunned, unreal collection!

[@SharpElevenMusic]

Mesmerizingly beautiful! So many instruments, yet didn't feel a single time like any of them was forced in for the sake of it. Bonkers arranging and playing guys! Wow, I'll be sharing that on my KZbin feed here, hope people pick this up. 🙌

[@dougwebbmusic2300]

Thank you for the kind words .. I added the middle part in 3/4 and admittedly I put in a lot of extra instruments like the D clarinet and Db flute and piccolo that didn’t really add anything but it was fun to do

[@jabelsjabels]

Thanks for that post, that's how I found this video!

[@rosswooldridgemusic6402]

@@dougwebbmusic2300 - music HAS to be fun at some point! We work too hard for it not to be. Well done!

Very 😎 cool Doug!

Brilliant, thank you!

@Doug Webb Music Another great video Doug!!

[@lucyyockey]

Still fawning over those sarrusophones😍 Always love hearing and seeing these pieces!!

[@peggyduquesnel]

Brandon Wilkins did a great job with audio and video production!

[@dougwebbmusic2300]

I couldn’t have done it without him

[@sergiobarrenechea]

Sensational!

[@timmungenast]

I am so totally sharing this on my FB page!

[@terriharris4036]

Yes real music, nice horn arrangement and Your musicianship is absolutely amazing 🤩

[@timmungenast]

This is absolutely gorgeous, and a real lift to my spirit when I needed it. Thank you, Doug, for going to all this trouble, and thanks to Gus Mancini for hipping me to it. (Thanks also to Ladd McIntosh for writing such a sweet piece of music! Somewhere Lalo Schifrin is smiling broadly and saying "wow, this is really good!")

[@TrentJacobs]

Somebody get this man a strap for his bassoon! Also, tenoroon sighting!

[@hansullrich4065]

Amazing, thank you ....LG Ulli

[@gilbertovera9428]

Truly a labor of love. Wonderful playing and composing by Ladd also the editors and engineer..

[@jedivideo6203]

Amazing. Kudos to you and Ladd and your engineer/video guy for pulling this off. That's a lot playing and editing. Holy s**t

[@maequicho]

Marvelous performance! Very impressive 👏💖🎷

[@scottrobinson2060]

Yeah Doug, beautiful playing! Miss ya...

[@dougwebbmusic2300]

miss you too if we did one together we would make Guinness

[@timolsen3116]

Amazing! Loved all the subtle tone colors.

[@alexfitch2656]

Got to watch you play for the first time last night at the Baked Potato... You are a fucking legend! Thanks for the beautiful music.

[@midi-2-the-max585]

great tune, superb solos, amazing performance!

[@jamesbellows1100]

Masterpiece. Well done everyone.

[@rw1900]

Fantastic!

[@michalstefek6087]

This is absolutely best video of one man recording what I ever saw. Amazing musicianship and the collection is beyond the words. I don't know what I have to mention at first. Old collection of Adoplh Sax versus almost full of collections of modern Eppelsheim masterpieces, all kind of sarrusophones and even few rottophones, contrabass a anche and when the crummhorns and sausage basson came up I told mysefl this can't be true, what a COLLECTION! Can I ask for a few questions? - do you think about make a videos about this instruments separately? Like a basic info about the horn and show the ranges, and play few lines in differnt ranges? This would be epic, because I think you are the only person in the world which have so many great instruments. It would be great to hear comparation between the instruments, one room, one person. I'm bass player and it would be perfect to hear diferrentions between all contrabass and bass instrument which you have. - what kind of instruments do you looking for, when do you have almost everythink? I didn't see racketts, tartold, fujara, mention a few but maybe you have them all :) At last but not least, big thank you for your work and passion, this must costed enormous of time and money to give this thing together, you are amazing!

[@MusicLiberates]

An amazing Ladd McIntosh composition and orchestration, and very fabulous performances by Doug on his incredible array of instruments!! Bravo, gentlemen!

[@jomarluke]

This is amazing! I wonder, did anyone else hear "the lick" at around 4:00?

[@vitolpsax]

You're a genius! Thanks to your video I've discovered a lots of new instruments. Thank you very much!

[@jonniejlo]

Very damn cool!

[@mattadams1972]

Jeez Louise! Still trying to wrap my head around all those instruments. Sure, you played them all, which is huge in and of itself, but you played them all with really full, nice sound. The hours of practice alone is staggering. Thanks for sharing man.

[@RossiMusic]

Damn! Amazing Doug! I smiled all the way through and then 3 minutes of credits. hahaha so good!

[@RitvaPaananen]

Something utterly amazing… And sooo interesting! I love the end with all the names for these wonderful instruments. 🌹 Suddenly the amount of instruments in my house feels small😁.

[@sbwyo1966]

Fantastic stuff, Doug. You get such a great sound on every one of your horns, and the variety of instruments is of course mind-blowing. Of course your soloing is amazing, as always. Wow. I look forward to checking out more.

[@yoelhooper-antunez1016]

THIS IS SO COOL!!!

[@pacovalderrama4109]

Outstanding performance and woodwin collection. Take a look at the double reed Triple and Tenora from Catalonia (Spain). May be we could enjoy any of them in one of your marvelous performances. Thank you.😉

[@jamescronin1486]

This is beyond incredible.

[@Ekkie101]

Bravo Doug. Love it.

[@davidwallace1390]

Amazing and educational. I'm sure glad you identified the instruments because most of the time I didn't have a clue. Great sounds too!!

[@4garnets452]

That was amazing! What a terrific arrangement. Your sound was tremendous. The recording production was amazing. More than that i couldn't help but go "WTF was that you're playing?" while the video was progressing. Thank goodness you put a description of each instrument at the end of the video. I don't think i would have been able to figure out what you were playing without the descriptions. Even with the descriptions I still don't know what a lot of these instruments are!

[@JanKlincewicz]

What an enormous talent !!!!

[@fsheller5869]

He's great.

[@frankzona5459]

Just amazing Doug. A great piece of music and a mind-blowing array of wind instruments. Hope to see you back in El Paso in September for another great concert.

[@MrGuitzu]

Vous êtes impressionnant, merci pour cette leçon! ❤️🎷🎹

[@saxofof]

Please make some more videos ! This is amazing

[@dougwebbmusic2300]

I will!

[@fsheller5869]

Doug, you're a madman.

[@barbarapeirce3686]

How many configurations of an instrument are there? Only Doug Webb knows for sure. This is AWESOME!

Yo Doug. Always fine playing

[@grettawilliams503]

I was so uplifted by your talented workmanship here. Shared it with all my band and string players. They told me to ask you how long it took for you to record all of this. You are a gift!

[@AaronLington1]

Doug! Enjoyed every second of it! Amazing job all around. Bravo man.

[@kles8900]

OMG! I LOVE LOVE LOOOOOVE👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@marekspelina]

Amazing. Perhaps every conceivable woodwind instrument in one arrangement, played by one person and played brilliantly. I enjoyed it from the beginning, but when the krumhorns, flageolets and ocarinas showed up, it totally blew my mind. 😁 Great job and I'm looking forward to more videos. 👍

[@dougwebbmusic2300]

Thanks Marek I’ve been playing and collecting woodwinds for many years Some of them I can barely play I can play Turkish and Egyptian neys very badly but I have a set Persian neys that I’ve never even been able to get a sound on ….I have a very rare Bohem flageolet that I played on this piece but somehow is didn’t make in on the video

[@marekspelina]

@@dougwebbmusic2300 So I hope that the Bohem flageolet will show up and heard in some next video. Otherwise I'm already planning to show your videos to my students when talking about the history of woodwind instruments 😁

[@denisdiblasio5722]

Bravo Doug. Just great!!

[@peggyduquesnel]

Wow Doug! You are an amazingly skilled woodwind expert!

[@susansmolka6710]

Simply amazing and so beautiful!

[@jabelsjabels]

outstanding!! I have some questions too: - How many different reeds does this require? - How big is the room where you store all these?

[@dougwebbmusic2300]

Lots of reeds. I do need a bigger house

Sounds like a classic Columbo episode .. my favorite

[@PinkyJr2]

Incredible!!!! 🎷

[@paulmifsud8848]

Hey Doug, I love this piece and the performance. The wide color spectrum brought about by I have to believe every woodwind instrument is mind blowing. To think you and I practiced together a few times at Berklee.

[@dougwebbmusic2300]

I remember you Paul Hope you’re well

[@pkurokawa]

Amazing! I’m so glad you made use of the pandemic to do THIS!!! So, would you call yourself a “woodwind doubler”? 😂

[@thenotoriusbp]

more like woodwind thousandler lol

[@TonyJones-drummer]

This is quintessential Doug Webb. Great piece Ladd and what can I say about the genius of Doug Webb. I know some percussionist out there is going to take this a dub his stuff on top. But where is he going to put his video images? Ha. BTW, I have that mic too.

[@BretNewtonComposer]

Been waiting on this ever since Ladd sent me an e-mail saying that there was a lot more coming! Are those some new sarrusophones I see in the mix?

[@dougwebbmusic2300]

Yes I bought an Eppelsheim alto with a low G

[@rosswooldridgemusic6402]

SAUSAGE BASSOON?!?!? What the heck was that made for? In fact, some of these instruments must have been extremely specialized and hence rarely heard EVER outside of perhaps one or two pieces that were composed for their use. Do you have any historical on them? Such great stuff, and a truly impressive collection!

[@dougwebbmusic2300]

it’s also called a racket

[@bobinsb]

Wow..............................beautiful, however, wtf is a Dizi and what is that 'key/thing' next to the embouchure plate? :-0

[@dougwebbmusic2300]

It’s a membrane that vibrates sympathetically with the flute

[@dougwebbmusic2300]

It is designed by Eva Kingma

[@chrisnolte2277]

Wow…

[@GradyOzment]

How on earth did you get your hands on all of those eppelsheim bass saxes?! 😭

[@dougwebbmusic2300]

Bought a new one every year for a while

[@michaelbreaux3930]

No one but you can do this! Braveaux!!! Ladd wrote his ass off, but you played yours off!
