Pete Christlieb = one of the best and most unrecognised tenor saxophonists of all time.

[@evanbutts9804]

He's going to perform with me at my concert in a week or so

[@brucekuehn4031]

Often seen right behind Doc in the Tonight Show Band videos on KZbin. This was back in the Johnny Carson days. The fun thing in those Golden Years was getting to see him playing small bars in the San Fernando Valley. They taped Johnny’s show in the afternoon and then were free to play at night where they liked. For me, it was Alfonse’s where I’d catch big Pete (great sense of humor) and also Ross Tompkins at the piano or the trumpet of Conti Candoli.

[@AlbertoCasanova]

He was the player in Deacon Blues sax solo.

[@rufus-h4h]

AMEN BROTHER!

[@sumaarc46]

I believe Pete Christlibe, is still the best tenor player..anywhere,,love ..Oh My What a great Player

[@zacworld2061]

Love Pete. I used to go see him play at Dino's in Pasadena back when I was still in college. I learned more listening to him than I think I ever did in school.

[@kevindowning2919]

Me too - I heard him at Dino's many many times. Great times!!!

[@delightschwartz2155]

​@@kevindowning2919me too.

[@BenTorres1]

MAN! I love that look Pete gives the crown at the end! That look says, "I told yo' ass!" hehehe. Pete's one of the greatest!

[@blue47er]

So infectious and melodically and rhythmically infectious I have to call in every couple or three weeks to get another booster shot. Lori and Pete & co seem to have it all.

[@DrDanReinstein]

Always have loved Pete C's 110% soul based grooving solos!

[@drummingnuts]

Really nice band!! Some of Lori's chord voicings immediately brought Dave Brubeck to mind. Great drumming too! Wonderful groove!

[@TrueBlueYou]

Always playing just the right stuff

[@kujaz2]

The Texas Tenors come to mind. Great playing.

[@AllanKnighton]

lastly I don't know how those people can sit in their seats! wow! beautiful

[@XB29SP]

What a great cut of this tune! Pete's low B flats are so fat. Lori's groove during her solo is wonderful. Would have loved to see this live.

[@Nashvillejazz]

+Alan Klingaman one of our best shows ever!

[@AllanKnighton]

[@swistedfilms]

I finally looked up Pete Christlieb after owning "Nighthawks at the Diner" for over a decade. I'm glad I did! This is exactly the kind of cool music I need more of in my life!

[@Nashvillejazz]

swistedfilms we all need more Pete!

[@tropicaltico]

Excellent 😋🎷Pete

[@guidoviperini7207]

Bellissimo brano di jazz moderno suonato da eccellenti musicisti che sanno esprimere la vera arte musicale con particolare riguardo alla pianista Lori.

[@robertwells827]

This is the absolute best butt kicking jazz combo I've ever heard and I've been around the block a few times

[@Nashvillejazz]

+Robert Wells Awesome! And we're working on bringing Pete back to Nashville for another appearance!

[@exjazzbassbaz]

if this is the best you heard you had better get round that block a few more times l.o.l.

[@Dana_Danarosana]

@@exjazzbassbaz Was that absolutely necessary?

[@aartman01]

[@playinhard]

[@aaronmccoy5524]

[@raefblack7906]

That's right ! Swing it like a Mo Fo!

[@TonyAguirreJazz]

What's not to love!

[@exjazzbassbaz]

pete and lori really grooving somebody should have told the bass player to solo.l.o.l.

[@harthenry]

Is Pete playing a Berg Larsen? I thought he would be blowin' a Drake Master

[@piotr1002]

Jazz A&P "Limehouse Blues"

[@wolfdude7126]

I see one "dislike". Must not like the tenor sax, no other explanation!

[@Nashvillejazz]

+John W (WolfyDude) we agree! What's to dislike? ;-)

[@MuriMorello]

+John W (WolfyDude) i guess he doesnt like his life or something

[@brickboo1]

He's a Johnny Cash fan, no other explanation.

[@saxman7131]

I need to learn to keep it in the pocket like Pete. Instead of trying to go out.

[@shakazulu365]

sounds like Kansas City.

[@quarterbackher0]

Paul Perez smokes this guy and his mouthpiece toooo. Y Que.

[@blackie8083]

@John Buckannan, he doesn't even come close nigga.

[@woodsonpayne8378]

Nice Phil Woods quote right in the middle.
