In order for this legendary moment to happen, all of the following were required: - a guy gets on the A-train to play his sax - some other guy gets up and starts vibing his heart out and playing hypeman for the sax guy - a second guy, on the same car of the same train at the same time, has a sax of his own ready to go, and is willing and able to start a sax battle for the crowd, and the two of them are able to match each other beat for beat It's things like this that convince me miracles do happen

*”Hey mom, sorry for arriving late but you just won’t believe me what just happened-“*

That wasn't a battle, it was an improvised duet

[@surrealisnt]

Mom: I'll allow it

[@REEEPROGRAM]

Dad: "I wish i was there"

[@ellandomar678]

Y'all say battle, but that was the most majestic duet to this day.

[@zanehudson3680]

The chemistry was nuts 🤯

[@joshuadoll9000]

I love how no one really gave a shit about one guy playing his sax but as soon as the second one came in everyone got into it.

[@Derpydude9001]

One guy is nice music to pass the time. Two guys is an epic sax battle, the likes of which are a once in a lifetime event!

[@YurgenGrimwood]

A jazz instrument on its own is nothing to write home about. You need that harmonization to pop things off.

[@devinwhite5064]

Music really didn't kick off until there was another. Which is why most musicians have more than one person making music, even those solo artists have someone else with background music.

[@cursedcode1062]

cause they know shit bout to go down

I can’t help but smile the entire time I watch this video… it just makes me so damn happy for some reason… two absolute legends. One of my favorite videos available on KZbin 😂

[@jaishanv]

As soon as they harmonized everyone was like “oh shit bru”

[@joshbuilds]

*clap I think this is the first time I've made a comment from 999 to 1k

[@TiiqawxHD]

The fact they kept such sync makes you think they know eachother, still a blast of an act in that case

[@kr6productions]

@@joshbuilds kudos to you my guy

[@Batchall_Accepted]

@@TiiqawxHD Yup, that's jammin for ya, bro!

[@HollowGolem]

@@TiiqawxHD in jazz, there's so much improvisation anyway that if you're good enough, you start picking up on the cues and you can play off each other like that, even without practice. The fact that they both played similar instruments (one's a bari, one's a tenor) meant they were able to anticipate what the other was comfortable and familiar with. That's probably why they both improved on "Chameleon" for a bit there.

[@vodozhaba]

The second dude assembling his sax has the same energy as those scenes in action movies where a sniper assembles their rifle at a vantage point

[@soulance8342]

Definitely was planning on dropping a body or two.

[@bryanf6638]

He even quietly tested his tuning, as if he we're adjusting his scope

Dude. I'd call out for this... Fuck it. I'm now gonna be 4 hours late for work. Lol. Might as well call out at this point. This would be worth it. I work at a music store. My work would understand. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
