PRETTY GOOD FOR A GIRL by Mindi Abair & Randy Jacobs
Now I’m just a girl all sugar and spice
(but) My daddy said I didn’t have to play nice
He said it’s not about can’t or can
I’m not trying to play it just like a man
I run like a girl. I fight like a girl. I play like a girl.
Damn right you know that’s for sure.
And if there’s one thing that I know…
I’m pretty tired of hearing
“That’s pretty good for a girl”
Now that’s something that you just don’t see
He said as he pointed right at me
She’s not playing.. no she couldn’t be
And I respectfully disagree
I got education, appreciation,
Imagination, I’ve even got a nomination
I’m getting busy taking over the world
Then someone else said
“That’s pretty good for a girl”
Mindi Abair: Saxophone, Vocals
Randy Jacobs: Guitar
Rodney Lee: Keyboards
Third Richardson: Drums
Derek Frank: Bass
Sweet Pea Atkinson: Trash Talking
Joe Bonamassa: Guitar Hero and Special Guest

Mindi, I'm a professional sax player (going on 40 years now). It was so tough coming up as a female at my age. Thanks for setting the bar high and making huge strides. Your playing AND singing are amazing and I adore you. Keep on bringing us fabulous music. LOVE this tune!!!

[@donaldleroy6502]

Needless to say that I'm blown away by this young woman. And pleasantly surprised with this no nonsense jam when compared to her other videos that I could only describe as funky jazz. I need to hear more of these videos

[@kevintoner9537]

Absolutely badass! Awesome!

[@charlespurvis1980]

Gooooood Lawd, if this jam doesn't make you wanna get up n move then you must be deceased.....dayuuuuum you got a set of lungs n the soul on you Mindi, the best I've heard in a long time!!!

[@dkadams73]

My 13 year old plays the tenor and she’s the star of her middle school wind ensemble and jazz band. Made 1st chair region band. Thank you Mindi for giving her someone who looks like her that she can look to for inspiration. You’re amazing!!

What an awesome sax player. I had the pleasure of hearing her live a few months ago. If she ever comes to your area, don't pass up the chance of a lifetime to hear this incredible saxophonist.

[@perryjensen5585]

[@thomaslansdown1531]

There are many girls out there who can outplay guys, in fact I didn't know there were so many women playing the saxophone and they play the hell out of it.

[@debivancleave5106]

This girl rocks! Thanks to BB King Bluesville, channel 74 on Sirius for turning me on to all this great music!

[@elijahmoses.thealmondtree]

I AM BLOWN AWAY!!! Fantastic! You are without a doubt the most astonishing saxophonist I’ve ever heard in my life! All the musicians are fantastic and I’ve never seen anything like this performance!!! Unbelievable I just can’t tell you how incredible you are!!! Guitarist also blew my mind and the drums sound so awesome! I think you sent me to orbit with this song! My name is Kimberly and I am a percussionist and songwriter singer and I just love this music! You rocked my world 😍❤️ I was looking for what type of saxophone to buy and that’s when I came across your mouth piece and looked you up because I was thinking about starting the saxophone LOL but man, I’ve never heard anybody play as good as you do!

[@kwon2m964]

I just love this song! It so rocks. And I love the idea behind it and the message it sends. Mindi, you're not "good for a girl", you're just GOOD! Keep showing the boys how it's done.

[@rochellepettijohn5167]

Keep showing people how it's done!

[@staceyd3037]

Making memories to the music of my life! Thank you, Mindi, for making your beautiful, kick ass music! 5 Stars hands down!

[@tjmcguire9417]

Old jazz and blues hound here. Thank you Mindi. Total homage to the masters. I hear that in you. I know your skill. Really proud of you. And a voice too? That's overwow. Killer good. Too bad Joe doesn't measure up. (KIdding Joey B. Awesome as always.) Hope you're still hanging with Joanne S-T from time to time.

[@jbetter42]

Not doubt, you are the best of the best!

[@pamelatrent9674]

I don't know that I've ever heard a better sax player. So much feeling & Soul in her playing.

[@peeweebarney]

To Izzy Evans: Same here! And I thought that Bill Clinton was good! Shame on me!

[@raycampbell162]

Well Candy Dulfer is pretty good.

[@jimwalter480]

I can think of a few traditional jazz sax players like Bird, Hawkins, and Coltrane, but as far as modern sax players, since I have been listening to her she has become my new favorite player. Diamonds in my ears.

[@FearlessDreamer3]

Damn!

GOOD ! Remember the duels between Buddy Rich and Gene Croupa ? How about a reprise between Mindy and Candy D ??

[@bepsyalarcom3145]

Que irresistible Saxofon.

[@anthonynelson9136]

Never been a big sax lover when it is the lead instrument. Is kind of like drinking down chocolate syrup. The first couple of slugs are good but after that, it gets to be too much really fast. But when the sax is being used in songs like Baker Street, Careless Whisper, and Year of the Cat it is very tasty and leaves you wanting more.

[@salazardeltoro4561]

Sup, Mindi. Subbed.

[@JSWilliamssr]

Mindi, I heard a KZbin sax instructor talking about choosing a mouth piece. She said NEVER, EVER put a metal mouth piece on an alto sax. I commented a link to your page for her.. :)

[@byrddog2495]

Talking about the sax... She blows very well

[@neculaisavetchi4342]

Mindi is a hot ticket, for sure.

[@das250250]

real music, real musicians, real tempo (no metro click ), educate the masses 116k views when S^&t gets millions ... makes no sense to me ..

[@marcspector9188]

she is pretty good for a girl. LOL. :)

[@hifitommy]

yes, very good in fact but correct me if i am wrong, she has captured David Sanborn's style quite handily. it's too bad he went the way of SMOOV JAZZ but then he won't die a pauper like so many jazz greats have. being bolstered by Bonamassa is a nice enticement though. her singing is pretty good too, way better than Lyn Stanley to use a not-very-good analogy. at least she takes control of the melody and tune. i'm not running out to buy this but if it came to my fingers while flipping through LPs or CDs, i just might pull that trigger.

[@shannonkupser1911]

Awesome! As a female saxophonist and vocalist, this is the story of my life! HAHHA Or..."which guy in the band are you with?"
