the cleanest trumpet solo is followed by the dirtiest sax solo

[@daemonphil3132]

i love swing

[@Mike_Rottchburns]

Cool

[@EdenStoneReal]

who doesn't like leo p!? best bari sax player i've ever heard. you should make more videos on him not just from the bbc proms

[@oeuak]

You guys should make the cleanest and the dirtiest solo of every instrument....

[@IamUncledeuce]

That is the zoot suit riot saxaphonist, isn't it?

[@tissuepaper9962]

He didn't buy that suit until the literal day of the performance IIRC. The entire outfit started with just the shoes, and what a starting point that was.

[@danielm-k7393]

what i really love about this solo is he clearly doesn't feel the need to flex by squeeinng out super high notes - that's impressive on its own, but he just lets his raw musicality shine through in a high-school level range. very impressive!

[@dbryn2]

i wouldn't say the range is high-school level - it's above that, but yes I agree!

[@barmacidic2257]

@@dbryn2 nah, all the other seniors at my high school were playing at that range. I was the only one who couldn’t reach it, but that’s because I didn’t really practice as often as them, because I had other stuff I had to do, and didn’t really plan on doing music as anything other than a hobby.

[@fujiwtr_]

Best comment.

[@tissuepaper9962]

Leo P is in a special class of Entity that doesn't have an "idle" state. LP::idle() is just a wrapper over the LP::danceInPlace() API.

[@tpmann7166]

Love how Leo is just walking and moving like a video game boss caught in the background of a cutscene until he can play again

[@trumpeta2]

He’s disgusting to look at

[@sergej100qca4]

It's a simple solo note-wise, but the extreme virtuosity comes from It's phrasing. The solo is perfectly structured and every note is amazingly crafted. As a horn player, this is way harder than any 16th bebop line ever created.

[@playablecharacter3871]

I'm gonna be in one of these one day. The band I'm with's shows are getting bigger and I've been in the woodshed like hell

@@wonderfalls2 the band he has assembled right now is incredible, Weedie braimah, Elena Pinderhughes, etc, they really help shape his music into what it is, stretch music, check out Weedie braimahs music, it’s essentially the same genre as Christian Scott’s music and it’s amazing, hands of time is the album.

[@sebthi7890]

i like the placement of his mouthpiece. One quarter upper lip three quarter lower lip, is a great taboo of many classic trumpeter, existing the bias that this placement would destroy the lip. When you learned a modern technique with low pressure you don't need to be worry, with full lips you can produce better tones with a low placement of the mouthpiece.
