Damn it's like that sax was glued to his mouth when he was born! The man is speaking saxophonese !

[@ihavegcc472]

Lmao thats funny

[@Sphagetti__]

It's saxophonecian, actually

[@ejcanuel6528]

I wish we have accent or language like that😅

[@nazarenogonzaloarrieta3283]

Habla saxofón nativo

[@connorkonen5770]

As a fellow musician and singer, I can say that it is incredibly hard to sustain and maintain such a high level of energy when you are playing a pop song like this with no singer. The sax player on the right has so much swag, and attitude to his playing that I could totally listen to this version on a regular basis. This is great musician ship and stage presence and I’m really glad I found this video. If you are any sort of instrumentalist, you can learn a lot from this guy

[@michaelthomas4805]

Yes. The kid can rock it with so much funk

[@luizcarlosmarinho6349]

Aaqaâc,ZDas-‐,,,-,,★

[@NSC006]

Disagree: Alto 1 brings too much energy, it's an overload. He's breaking the balance of the song by playing everything too loud and adding a too-pop vibrato/embrochure over a Funky song (Funk sax ≠ pop sax). He is in the line that separates music and noise, and, from My perspective, he crossed it a bit

[@sertechin]

Ñ”ñxlr

[@timkarn6654]

I play sax,guitar,keys,violin,bass,drums,sing,anyone with drive can play cross-harp, the only thing I Am learning here is I have been cheated and underappreciated for 50 years (72 yrs old now, painting houses,live music is mostly non-existent.

[@KhaoticKreature]

If this doesn't make you fall in love with the sax, I don't know what will!

look at video called Tubax by Moon Hooch XD

[@tiedyedakman017]

Sammie Sanzone as soon I picked u my alto i loved it

[@rizaldicakrakusumah9163]

4:12 is the nastiest growl and one of my favorite so far. Randall Clark never dissapoint when it comes to growl sound.

[@johnvaros8246]

It’s actually called a split tone, Randal Clark made a video explaining how he does it

[@mrmrmeta3698]

See that split tone is why I play sax I want to be that guy who can do that

[@nilgilimartinez8325]

hey! I'm Nil and I had Mr Clark when I was in band at Corner Canyon HS and let me tell you that he was the best teacher. I'm from Spain, and I came to America with a really low clarinet level. Music didn't really ment anything to me till I see how fun it can be. I don't know if he remembers me, but he made me love music. Maybe this dpesn't mean anything to anyone, but I think he sould be really proud of his job and what he is doing with all those kids. I hope I'll meet you in the future. Thanks for everything!!

[@patrickscheiterbauer1131]

That bass lick in 6:04 is insane!

[@medsimvallejo]

OMG... Was there anything left of that Sax??? That sound... CRISP with an Edge that can cut Diamonds!!! That staccato sounded like it had only 1 vibration of the reed!!!! Well done!!! This band is Absolutely Brilliant and on Point!!!! Rock on...PLEASE!!!!

[@albertkaluba3636]

A round of applause for Eric Darius! He's actually so rude in this, he killed it! Actual goals! The Baritone was good as well

[@craighutchinson5371]

This reminds me of PRINCE saying "real music for real music lovers." And this band hits that nail right on the head. Absolutely fantastic.

[@anaguisadosanchez-barriga8155]

OMG... ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!

[@djnokes1818]

The lead alto is killing it!!

[@iandehaan649]

Well I guess I'm late to the party but that's a tenor

[@Lemon14402]

@@iandehaan649 if you check description, it's an alto, I mean like there's two altos, 1 tenor, and a bari

[@armedwithbliss]

Ian DeHaan thats an alto🤦‍♂️ if u actually think thats a tenor then ur dumb

[@lemonboi1317]

That's not a tenor lmao. The one in the white shirt is a tenor.

[@couc39]

U're all dumb, that's a C-melody sax ...

So wholesome, all the sax players standing and looking in awe at each other soloing

[@tonyharrison8332]

I witnessed Eric Darius performed at the Cancun Jazz festival 2018 and he turned it out even when it started raining the guy came out into the audience and jammed his butt off. He was amazing!

[@billschneiderman582]

Eric is a man possessed by a supernatural force! Nice job everyone!

[@salatyell]

I'm still perplex by the fact that the lead alto grooved the crap out of me with just his sax. I Felt his energy! GG!

[@NiamhSinclair]

There are no words to describe how good this is! Loved every second

[@sylvanave3923]

no auto tune. no samples. authentic talent. kudos to the band. well got damn for E.D. for morphing into the zone. powerful.

[@johnmizutani8324]

Tevis punches it out with the Bari. The Alto man is exceptional, that silver horn has a magnificent tone. Highly skilled combination.

[@mikeschouten4732]

Eric showing what it's like to have full command of an instrument! Just living in the music and melody.

[@iisaaclite991]

ladysmoothsax: How much did you pay for it and where can I hear your music?

[@sammyharrington-vp4cy]

Just speechless this is incredible!!! I love how the others stand back and watch him in awe as well! I've just started learning and watching the way he moves with the sax is crazy! I've never seen someone play as if the sax is apart of them. What a dream to be able to even play half as good as that!

[@gilbertsoobraydoo9431]

Just WOW!!!!!

[@Tsax1949]

Evertime I listen to this with Eric Darius's astounding mastery of the saxophone...I am humbled. Wow ...

[@DrMcFoo]

Outstanding job performed by Eric Darius! He's by far my favorite Saxophone player now. He plays with such passion that it's obvious this man is doing what he loves and is living his dream. Amazing! :)

I think Eric must be one of the best contemporary sax players on the planet. He shreds the horn, all kinds of monster madness in this scene, and I don’t normally post - but had to put a post above the lame comment from two right shoes below. Excellent work Eric, keep growing into an even bigger Monster Player!

Seems almost as if that's exactly what you want to hear. Couldn't be any more better than what these guys have done. Just Brilliant !!!

[@jorkles4691]

I’m fairly sure it’s a split note; like a combination of a growl and multiphonic in the altissimo range.
