Europa by Greg Vail - early 90's - The View Lounge - Newport Marriott - Tom Stein Band

[FatManDoubleZero]

As close to "pefection" as is humanly possible.  Awesome vituoso sax playing!!! I keep watching this video over and over again - it's like my daily "fix."

[FatManDoubleZero]

Wow! This guy is fantastic. I like his version of Europa better than the one with Gato B.

[DEWessonsax]

Greg, sure hope you are getting some great footage of your wedding and all the celebrations. I Saw that your son was or has gotten married as well, hope you find the time to keep us in the loop. Waiting for you to put together a new album, looking for some full symphonic all time favorites, played with the same feeling and passion you graced Europa with, if that is possible!!!! Godbless and Godspeed.

[DEWessonsax]

So many thanks for the best rendition of Europa ever performed, and thanks toTom Stein Keys and Key Bass, and Brian Zsupnik, Drums. A moment in time, caught in music........

Get a copy while you still can.

[wcwsax]

you are by farr my favorite saxophone player and my inspiration to become great thank you for displaying your skill

[vampcompany]

what make of sax is the tenor being used please greg ?

[jtrisch1026]

Greg just great tune played by a master sax man. very inspiring to say the least. I was blessed with perfect pitch , don't know if it's a curse or a blessing. Drives me nuts when trumpet players blow sharp most do apx 95 % id say . I have played with tons of them too in my 43 years of playing . Love your altissimo esp dowm low b flat concert . most people have no clue as to what your are doing ther at the end but I do . wonderful

[jtrisch1026]

great

GREG VAIL YOUR HAIR IS MAGIC! PURE MAGIC!

[DrMickaelleDougherty]

Absolutely Wonderful Beyond Words.

[hollismarshall]

the crowd doesn't give him justice for his performance

[dordulek]

Are you using a Guardala Super King mouthpiece?

[gvSAXBOY]

@dordulek - in this clip it is my old Dukkoff 9 - Blew the thing into pieces over time and had to replace it - went to my old Guardala at that time - a Crescent - very traditional too....

[dordulek]

@gvSAXBOY

Oh. Gotcha. It looked like a Super King. I use a Super King now. What's the difference between a Crescent and a Super King?

[gvSAXBOY]

@dordulek - Crescent is a very small baffle and the traditional Coltrane model for Guardalas.

[hollismarshall]

damn greg got soul

[xXgm07Xx]

man, youre amazing.. great job, i love this song... what note did you go up to going in to the altissimo? what fingerings do you use? i can only go up to an E and i cant figure out or find anything higher but i know there is... and not to put Doug Webb down or anything, but i really like your sound and style much more..i wish i could take lessons from you..

[jam2music]

Greg you just add so much to this song ...Just completely feel it in the soul...Wonderful job also!
