No Charts, Just hearing a line eight bars before you play it. You are becoming a beast. Great video thanks for sharing

[@FoolishFrankie]

It’s a work in progress!! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Treyball67]

Basically a musical game of Simon says, I love it😂

[@FoolishFrankie]

LOL that’s a good way to put it😂🙈

[@evercuriousmichelle]

Exactly!!

[@ahuddleofpenguins4842]

It’s 9 o’clock on a Saturday. Regular crowd shuffles in.

[@SmallMathGuy397]

the confusion the trumpet has when he holds up his instrument is so real

[@djpeteyc]

You were awesome man! Was great meeting and working with you.

[@FoolishFrankie]

YO likewise I hope we’re on something together again soon!!

[@alexfrench654]

Props to Pete. Looks like a solid leader who really knew what he was doing. And you Frankie. Solid. You can see why you got the gig. Nice one and thank you so much for sharing your journey. I live in England and run a jazz academy so it's great having a look into the American scene from the perspective of a jazz player (I don't know if you define yourself as a jazz player or not but from all the content I've seen - I've seen quite a lot now - I would personally definitely define you as a cat. Thanks again

[@FoolishFrankie]

The gig would’ve been a nightmare without him!! Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching🙏🏻

[@mfsavino]

This is one of the coolest things ever, I mean you all have mad skills to be able to do that but I bet it was SO FUN!

[@heyimsilence6617]

OMG! I know Peter (band leader), he coached my friend when he was starting trombone! That's good to know that he's doing well!

[@FoolishFrankie]

That’s awesome!!

[@fc1lyles]

That was a killer sax solo ... so simple , but so good!

[@noahsalzman4278]

Felt cheated that he cut off the solo in the editing. Pure vibe excellence.

[@FoolishFrankie]

Ahh thanks!! Sorry maybe I’ll start putting full solos in it’s hard too know how much is too much and how little is too little!

[@jerry_6136]

​@@FoolishFrankie I think a lot of people would love to see 100% of the performance or at least the most you're allowed to show :)

[@absidian152]

Here I am a sitting for any update and BAM! Glad to see the gig life is great!!

[@FoolishFrankie]

Thanks for watching!🙏🏻

[@dabeage]

And this is in the AM......yes, very strange.

[@FaithLikeAMustardSeed]

There is literally nothing about it that doesn't raise questions... 🤨

[@malenky4057]

The absolute contrast between this and your last video, love the diversity.

[@ged-sparrowhawk]

Wow. That was stressful for ME! Love your gig vlogs. Great job.

[@FoolishFrankie]

Thank you!!🙏🏻

[@lourayner6547]

talk about 'seat of your pants' playing!! Strange after raving coming out into sunshine and doing a wedding gig!!! Love it! You do know how to live Frankie xxx

[@FoolishFrankie]

I know right it felt weird to walk out into daylight 😂 thanks for watching!

[@aaronhowardjudd]

Great video Frankie. This just underlines how you have to be so reactive as a musician. Applying all your skills and experience to pull-off and incredible gig. Great work sir!

[@FoolishFrankie]

Thank you so much!!

[@bigchungie7459]

This was a wild ride even just to watch! LOL

[@mateogoron]

The Barbash connection!! I'm a big Cory Wong fan and Eddie is incredible when he plays with the band! I really appreciate the boots-on-the-ground perspective you present with these vlogs, demystifying what being a working musician is (presumably) like - admittedly there's only so much anyone can demystify about this particular gig! The requirements asked of you here seemed a big ask, but you guys nailed it :)

[@FoolishFrankie]

Me too Eddie is the man!! Thanks so much for watching and for the kind comment🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@morpheus3190]

What a dog’s breakfast, the whole gig is just super crazy. Lol. Looks like a high school practice session….but lots of fun.! Frankie you have a great ear for music!

[@FoolishFrankie]

Definitely higher level than high school!! Thanks so much 🙏🏻

[@MrZebanHai]

Man, this video was some impressive improv and really good energy. Thanks for the post! I loved it!

[@FoolishFrankie]

Glad you enjoyed it!🙏🏻

[@RaukuraGleeson]

Musicians are incredible!

[@FoolishFrankie]

❤️

[@ehmealvt]

I've never wanted to experience a day rave more in my life?? This was amazing to watch as a non-musician and I can only imagine how wild this was for everyone involved LOL

[@FoolishFrankie]

I think they do them all over the country, just look up Daybreaker

[@poss420]

wild gig

[@FoolishFrankie]

I know right😬

[@saxnoob]

Oh my god Frank!! What was that!!! Awesome gig and video. But for real, I’d love any input you could give about how to prepare to a situation like that. Congratulations dude!

[@FoolishFrankie]

Thank you!! Honestly there’s not much you can do other than just continuously work on your ears so that you’re less stressed during stuff like this!

[@pantheonaspect934]

Man i love your sax playing, it's so smooth

[@FoolishFrankie]

Thank you so much 🙏🏻

[@pantheonaspect934]

Oh god you replied

[@garethrutherford7686]

beautifully done

[@FoolishFrankie]

Thank you very much!

[@2634banana]

WTF Maann hahahaha !!!! that's really a challenging gig...AWESOME

[@Lamefoureyes]

Right at 2:05 Pete's body language changes and he starts leading with his hip bahahaha. He was really getting into it!

[@adamhauntsplants]

Another beautiful solo from you I truly love it

[@FoolishFrankie]

❤️🙏🏻

[@brycewalburn3926]

lol that looked like a weird gig for any day of the week at any time of day

[@FoolishFrankie]

Eh a Friday night it would’ve been slightly less weird😂

[@computer_toucher]

Cool solo and other stuff! Very church vibes this entire thing, idk, but looked like a lot of fun musically :)

[@FoolishFrankie]

In some ways yes, in a lot of other ways no😂 but it was definitely fun!🙏🏻

[@sebbosebbo9794]

Wow ....Wow...Wow..... amazing guys..... EDm Dance raver .... p.s. what a great fast pace learning curve. Saxonds..

Most bazaar ... but looked like a lot of fun 🤣

[@FoolishFrankie]

Was definitely fun!

[@tanngrisnr5076]

So impressed with Peter to be able to lead you so well

[@FoolishFrankie]

Me too!! If he was a bad leader this gig could’ve been a disaster. Was definitely super grateful for him!

[@scottjacko87]

So umm... what a unique gig haha!

amazing playing by ear, i aspire to be able to do this stuff

[@excru3506]

what's the "common chord progression" you mention at the end? if you don't want to explain it can you recommend a song that has it

[@FoolishFrankie]

open.spotify.com/track/1hcI2TWBGj9bRLhP1kvCmM

[@excru3506]

@@FoolishFrankie thank you!

[@excru3506]

for anyone else wondering- (in the key frankie plays in the video) C | e-/b | a- | C7/G | F | C/E | d- | d- then repeat back to the tonic of C major again. each chord gets 2 beats, at least how they played it in this video. in the song frankie sent they change it up a little. in this video, the rhythm section will sometimes play an G7 instead of d- for the very last chord as a pickup back to the 1 chord.

[@jakejuhl2441]

I lovvveee Eddie Barbash, who else have you taken lessons with?

[@FoolishFrankie]

Me too! A lot of local Pittsburgh musicians (Eric DeFade, Lynn Speakman, Jason Kush to name a few)

[@DominusNL1993]

Did you really just start this video with the lyrics to Piano Man lol

[@FoolishFrankie]

LMAO that didn’t even register 😂😂😭

[@jorymil]

I love doing this sort of thing! It's basically a paid jam session. And the changes here all sound pretty diatonic, so you're not having to fish too hard for the harmony. But then you get a key like Gb, and the warts start to show.

[@emanuelr.desousa6878]

The solo in the end was the best for me

[@FoolishFrankie]

🙌🏻🙏🏻

[@grape02]

how does everyone know immediately what note to start on just from the bandleader singing it?

[@FoolishFrankie]

I have decent relative pitch

[@radomirblazik]

No charts, just ears... My kind of gig...😎

[@beastscooter]

Wow Frankie! The things a guy will do for art and money!!!! Free form and really cool!

I am a clarinet player myself so it is cool to see a clarinet player in one of your videos

It’s so interesting to watch my life from a viewers perspective.

How did you get this gig?? So strange all around but a ton of fun to watch you work through

[@FoolishFrankie]

I’ve thought about starting to include this in the vlogs! Kind of a random thing, but this killin saxophonist named Sam Greenfield recommended me for this gig. Sam lives in NYC and knows Peter, so Peter asked him if he knew any horn players in Pittsburgh (where I live). Thanks for watching!!
