In tears I just saw some of my old friends of UM. We got white hair by now, but as we used to say, still "whaling"

[@marcofratnik4533]

By the way it should be "wailing", but 2 miles from the ocean we made a pun.

[@felipeyera]

Now, that's serious music! Ed Calle, fabulous! He was one of my son Rocky Yera's first sax teachers while in High School. Now a professional jazz sax player well-known in the Chicago area, my son Rocky, still considers Ed one of his biggest inspirations! Thanks, Ed!

[@fortnite.burger]

3:00 one of the best solos i've ever heard. Great job!

[@DaveLaMont1]

It’s a privilege to know a few of these guys. “The Chicken” is the standard opening number for this bunch of geniuses

[@luisechegoyen7041]

featuring ed calle on rhythm guitar

[@dansantoro50]

No that's Dan warner on guitar......I was there!

[@mattdavis9801]

I think it's a joke ;)

[@jakemf1]

would have been funny if the bass player looked similar when they are right next to each

[@MrSoothingjazz]

Now I get it

[@ricaard]

Cloning Program in full swing!

[@josiasmiguel2176]

Great sax and the band wails as one of the best for this chart

[@bankovicalexandre7221]

Great redition. Great musicians. Great fellow bass player. Great and intelligent interaction between synth and piano .

[@mj5332]

Excellent interprétation!! All the soloist are really keen! And so is the bass player! A great redemption of this tune ! Congrats

[@lucaaccardifonseca1367]

Ed Calle is the most incredible sax player of the 21st Century.

[@gravitydrums1391]

Ed calle is a Genius!!!!!

[@antoniogallen9799]

XCL versión, Great Guitar performance !

[@oursful]

good music !

[@mmullan81]

similar to bob minzter in tone more than Brecker. Yet on a new video on Saxquest with a macsax and mouthpiece he sounds way different.

[@notpopebuthope]

... GREAT HAPPENING !! SALUT !!

[@ArooXKriegerTV]

brutal sax

[@danielsantosgalo5392]

Sensational!!

[@GustavoSilva-sn6wz]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@braintreecat]

Oh Yeah! Jaco with the Detroit Wheels-but the tune was written by Pee Wee Ellis from that group.

[@Alexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx87]

Ed Calle is so good that he can be on tenor sax and guitar at the same time 😂.

[@БорисЧунтонов]

💥💯💫👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋

[@aidanhiggs9922]

Did anybody else notice at 5:13 that it was just noise from the trumpets. Very good overall though except that one part

[@saxmanization]

ed needed more microphone volume. wanted to hear more of his notes on solos. the king. brecker is gone so who is left that plays better?? nobody.

[@marcoscejas6666]

Genios 👏👏👏👏

[@tombowes9823]

I really want a selmer no matter wht the price i have a student yamaha and i really want a selmer

[@timcunningham136]

Over rated and over priced. Best horn I have ever played is my Eastman. Intonation and everything about the horn is unmatched.

[@marcioramosfoto]

Viva o Sopro...

[@danielcoelhokeyss2844]

Algum brasileiro aqui??????

[@jasoba]

Correction, that is Alex Norris in the trumpet section stage left not Cisco Dimas

[@CaCHas39]

I found the simpsons Saxophonist!!

[@marcushicks9463]

Is this the faculty ?

[@saxman7131]

Is there a doctor in the house?

[@死神-t5e]

2:57

[@GaryPapazian]

Who was directing? I can't place his name.

[@japjazz]

Looks like Peter Graves

[@hannover6794]

Esos 16 que dieron dislike han de ser fans de Bad Bunny... ¡#"%$ sordos.

[@VandeirSax]

Pensei que era o Michael Brecker

[@saxofong]

Turn up that sax!

[@frankyoungbloodsax6000]

the intro when we beat Japan in ww2

[@mikekaupa9190]

uh...

[@spoddie]

I hate the sound of the bass, it's the modern , I want to be heard sound.

[@kenjohnson3522]

They're playing The Chicken in the style of Jaco Pastirious, and that was the sound Jaco used. Peter Graves is leading the group. He's the director of the Jaco Pastorious Big Band. Jeff Carswell is capably laying down the bass....playing the chart....not showing off. Every player from Miami to Boca LOVES The Chicken and feels obliged to play it....

[@spoddie]

@@kenjohnson3522 Do you think anything you wrote would make me suddenly like it? I doubt Jaco would be seen dead playing a six string bass.

[@jsweenie13]

Too bad the sax player is a racist. He’s pretty good

[@G8RDuc]

Quite a bold statement to just throw out there with no supporting text.

[@jsweenie13]

@@G8RDucit’s all publicly available via an easy google search

[@G8RDuc]

@@jsweenie13 So Calle calling someone by their nationality is racist? Ok….

[@jsweenie13]

@@G8RDuc Obama is American, and the birther conspiracy shit is racist

[@G8RDuc]

@@jsweenie13 It’s racist if someone is targeting him for his race. Not quite the case with what Ed stated. Claiming someone is not of a certain birth is basing it on where they were born and what nationality they are, not race or ethnicity. Quite the stretch to accuse someone of being racist.
