Best stage performance I've seen my generation produce in any genre. Until Mona started Leo was just doing his thing freely. The conductor didn't even know quite what he was in for. Leo told him when I'm done to start the song I'll look a you and nod. And then he rocked it. The Pokemon song with grace Kelly is another good performance

[@dustercat21]

As a sax player myself who did marching band for 7 years (high school and collegiate level). I'd say likely its the thickness of the reed and the type of mouth piece he's using. Towards my last years playing, I used a glass mouth piece because its more stable as well as thicker reeds bringing stability. The airflow comes from circle breathing if he wanted to. And also probably experience. Marching and sax playing isnt that hard even when you're marching and playing fast but it winds you so that airflow is important. He's not moving around nearly as much i have in some of my marching shows tbh. He's using a glass mouthpiece actually. On close ups you can see right through it. So thats definitely the biggest help here actually if you ask me. Thats why i invested in mine at the started college. Its significantly harder to use at first but the sound quality is amazing

Once again I am back to this video. Yes Leo is insanely good here, but so are the lead trompetist and the rest of the orchestra. The rhythm here is so completely flawless, that it gives me an adrenaline kick every time I hear this.

Never heard of him until yesterday. As a musician I can say, he has more passion for the music he plays and his instrument than he is showing off.

[@mid0ri161]

The fact that he can perform cirque du soleil and play the most mind boggling noises to come out of a saxophone at the same time is astounding

[@bentickner1]

The Leo equation is simple. Mad talent combined with excellent physical strength and rhythm. His busking days will always show through in his ability to engage and perform at the same time. It doesn't matter what genre of music you like, if you hear Leo and a set of drums you stop and listen.

I'm a Japanese university student studying English, so I apologize for my poor writing with typos. I played the baritone saxophone in junior high and high school and in the brass band. The baritone saxophone is a heavy and difficult instrument. Among Japanese people in Asia, where there are many petite body types, I am particularly petite, with a height of 147 cm. I still can't forget the days when I shed tears during the tough practice. Because I wanted to play the baritone saxophone and look cool. At that time, I was concentrating on my study baritone saxophone practice, had few friends, and didn't have a boyfriend. However, I thought that the baritone saxophone was my one and only boyfriend, and I was very supportive of him. I'm currently in my fourth year of university, but my job hunting wasn't going well, and I was depressed, worried, and wanted to die. I've been studying and playing the baritone saxophone since I was a child, but I feel pathetic. However, listening to this performance made me proud that I had played the baritone saxophone and made me feel positive about my love for jazz.

[@martiddy]

It's nice hear that you're now feeling positive after watching this performance. I know how difficult is to struggle with depression when life seems to conspire against you. However, I know that with the help of people close to you and perseverance. You can overcome any difficult situation that you're currently facing. Life usually gets better when you stay with a positive attitude. By the way, your English is very good, so there's no need to apologize. Good luck!
