"Tank!" (Cowboy Bebop Opening Theme) Saxophone Cover!

[@honhonhonhon8110]

amazing that he has 5 of the same baris, 2 of the same tenors and 6 of the same altos lying around, not to mention he managed to get all of his decquintuplet siblings together!

[@DavePollack]

It was a logistical nightmare

[@nathansimons9881]

And he got them all to wear the same shirt. But the really impressive feat is finding a left handed bassist.

[@tokyo4678]

not to mention that epic narration at the beginning....i wanna know how this guy does it all

[@koegon]

SHEESH that solo 🔥🔥🔥 Also, killer rendition, you guys killed it!

[@DavePollack]

Thank you so much!

[@musicunderstress]

Amazing arrangement! I'm so used to The Seatbelts version that hearing some of those lines played so clean was a little jarring! 😂

[@DavePollack]

😂 there isn’t tons of room reverb on this so it’s not all smushed together!

[@KeiDizuru]

out of all the "Tank" covers i've seen, this one is my absolute favorite That friggen solo sold it for me.

[@DavePollack]

Thank you so much!

[@etowahjazz]

I was thinking......this could be really good.....and then........IT WAS!!! EPIC!!!! So well done. The solo is killer!!! Great job. Musically and technically. Should get a BILLION views. THANK YOU!!!

[@DavePollack]

Wooooo thank you!!!

[@ColinLeary]

dave i honestly can't believe you're real sometimes. That altissimo was absolutely crazy

[@ruby_gleyzes]

Just amazing. This song belongs to the set of events that made me love jazz.

[@calebferreira7964]

That solo was fantastic. I’ve always found myself preferring covers with a direct note-for-note transcription of the sax solo (it’s just so iconic), but this has to be an exception! Keep up the good work!

[@DavePollack]

Thanks so much! For me, if I was to play the original solo note-for-note, I’d rather just listen to the original (I couldn’t play it better!)

[@calebferreira7964]

@@DavePollack That’s a great point! I enjoyed that you made it your own while keeping the spirit of the piece

[@ImRuscelOfficial]

that range on the alto man!!! im blown away

[@GNTRR]

Enjoyed your wonderful saxphone performance, thanks for sharing the great jam session!! I like it! Have a nice day, dear Dave! :D

[@DavePollack]

Thank you very much!!

[@DavePollack]

Awesome, thanks!

[@NicoMendozaMusic]

KILLER PLAYING DAVE!!! So glad I could bass it up with you and Dom. Who needs a brass section hah!

Maaaan you sounded amazing!!! Thanks so much again for doing this 🙏

[@grantkoeller8911]

Fantastic bass playing!

[@chillinflute]

I've been spending the last couple of months writing an arrangement of Tank! for my uni's saxophone choir and then I see this pop up in my feed! Amazing work, I'll definitely be showing my group this when we start rehearsing tomorrow!

[@DavePollack]

That's awesome!! If you record it, please send it my way - I'd love to watch!

[@Lucas.Blevins]

This is absolutely incredible. WOW. Two absolutely incredible covers back to back. I couldn’t believe how close this was to the original. Just incredible playing.

[@DavePollack]

I really appreciate that!

[@DomPalombiMusic]

SUCH A BOP!!! Great rendition my dude, thanks for having me on, always a pleasure to jam for these dope videos!

[@DavePollack]

My brother - amazing job as always!!!

[@ThomasHutchingsMusic]

Burnin' as usual! Always great hearing you blow alto solos like this, man! This was a fun listen for sure!

[@DavePollack]

Much appreciated! It's definitely fun to just let er rip, haha

[@mikeschieffer2644]

1:44 to 1:50 First take? If so... AMAZING!!! Otherwise, it's just ... AMAZING!!! Loved it!

[@DavePollack]

Yup! If I had to read something like that (or play the transcription of the original improvised solo) it would probably be a few takes though!

[@wa7saka]

this is sick

[@GetYourSaxTogether]

Sick!! 🔥

[@DavePollack]

I appreciate that!

[@jerryolazaran2740]

1:42 is the solo intro of the century

"you can't drag a solo and have it sound good." Dave at the end: "oh really?"

Great arrangement and playing, Dave! Congrats! Btw, are we ever going to see you play that baritone as a soloist? That would be great. Anyway, nice video!
