phenomenal sax player

[northanitsweet45]

fuck the haters i think it is great

[thebiga99]

He dances better than he plays!

This is an insult to good hornplayers

worldwide...................

[Adolamin]

Bullshit, I would rather listen to this stupid K. G., The-Sax-Player-Who-Must-Not-Be­-Named as he plays without is soul. It is just circus entertainement, what a joke !

[etdejazz]

What a joke!

[amonnar]

I believe that projection is the most important part of a performace on stage! I believe he should do a little less dancing. The dancing is good, but too much will make it hard to get the air to breathe!

[JonasBroFan0025]

Woah!!! Thats amazing!!!

[kaneda83]

cowabunga!!!

[marchingbandmansteve]

holy awesome

[musicmenace78]

Pick up the pieces!!!!!! that WAS entertaining!! I think the greats(Bird, Miles) woudda liked him!!

[Simonj1993]

Buffone...

[honkysaxophone]

hahaha i wish i was up there with him haha

[tranesax]

Circus

[fedebsas]

what's the name of the song??

[shepgthollywood]

Pick up the Pieces

[fedebsas]

AHHH BUEE, UN MOSTRO !!!!

EXCELENTE

[zaiedj]

beautiful, the best. excellent, cool

[farese1]

very good...it's very difficult to play the sax and dance...and the sound was pretty good!

[XxChivasFanxX]

is hard to play and dance at the same time! believe me...

[bearsrule5]

try using a bari. if someone could do that, i would be impressed.

[mike20731]

the sax playing is pretty good, but the dancing is even better. very good!

[shammok]

well, the hoff and niggers like it

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

and you say white people cant dance

[raphasax]

this guy must be some mix of michel jackson and kenny G!

I'm scarry! but I have to agree with the other peoples here and say that he rocks!

and make an great perfomance!

[Zeltrax11]

What are you talking about?! Kenny G sucks and this guy doesn't...

[cjracer1000]

oh well

now i HAVE to learn this song

[GoellnitzBryce]

This guy is HILARIOUS and AMAZING!

[makuhapy]

what song is that???

[Jefferoni911]

PIck up The PIeces - Average White Band

[makuhapy]

thanks....do you play sax?

[AirbornePigs]

Dancing........ scary. But i LOVE the song and the dance... even though it was a little scary. he rocks

[MatthewF659]

i know wat u mean

[pooprscupr]

coulda done without the dancing

[FatttttKiddddd]

That.  Was. AWESOME!

[andriesu]

Respect!

[LiquidGold2]

Amazing!

[ElOrnitorrinco]

To all the haters: I play sax. I dance. This does not look easy to me. I believe this guy is very talented. If this really were simple, there should be lots more videos of saxophone dancers up here, so where are they? And if you claim that YOU can do it, then I need video EVIDENCE. If you make such a claim and don't bring any proof, then good job, you just made yourself look like a prick/immature nine-year-old wannabe.

[evergreach2346]

i agree with u. it's not THAT easy. do-able, yes, easy, not necessarily. it's not that i think he's awful. he's a GREAT entertainer, but everybody's critiquing him on saxophone ability, so in general, most of them are right, because the title says "phenomenal sax player" when it SHOULD say "phenomenal ENTERTAINER"

[kilik41]

you should post some videos if you are that good...

[benfreckle916]

yeah i agree just because i play trumpet, and i know how much air you gotta use. its hard enough just in parades, and this guy is dancing like crazy.

[ttcjj]

he plays very agressive but still very good

this guy is talented

[tuhypyj]

tak to je maser, luxus !!

[xlaxking32x]

Its hard to move like that while playing that amazing

[evergreach2346]

not really. there are these things called "field shows" performed by high schoolers that are much better and much more difficult than this.

[That1jazzguy]

OK I have yet to see the high school field show that would be this difficult, and trust me i've seen my fair share. I spent my time as a section leader, went to BOA Championships, and Nationals. High School.....I don't think so. Blue Stars, Cavies, MN Brass, then we'll talk.

[honkysaxophone]

hahah this is really funny!! ive heard better sounding sax players but watching him dance is priceless

[onix750]

exzactly what i first said "well hello!"

[gingenick]

hello

[elefantrock44]

LOVE IT!!!!! =D

[onix750]

i hope the judges let him pass he's awesome!!!!!!! i agree with trumpetguy7

[TrumpetGuy7]

All you haters. I thought it was really good.

[tayoung301]

Phenomenal comedian!

[yo687]

what was the name of the song

[saxmanmax]

what a moron

[daj349]

a good amount of people can play that well.  a good amount of people can dance that well. few can do both at the same time. notice he stops moving when he hits those finicky high notes.

[jazzpiano10]

Yea he'd be good if he was, oh I don't know

EIGHT!

Intonation was awful, tone was awful, and sure he danced around a lot, but that was bad too.

[ENsaxist]

He's not a bad player, but I feel like it's just FAR too flashy and commercialized. Coming from someone who's both jazz and classically trained... there are some definite good things going on, but it's just too flashy.

The real saxophonists rarely, if ever, make the kind of money that people on this show are hoping to.

[Tuppington]

all saxophonists are egomaniacs. this guy just goes with it. :D

[VeggieBoy13]

omg that is the best i have ever heard on the alto sax i mean its just wow!

[evergreach2346]

really? that's REALLY the best you've heard?? if ur that uneducated when it comes to the saxophone and music, i'm surprised you even knew it was an alto!!

for god's sake listen to some jazz!!!

jesus!! that's just pathetic!! charlie parker is rolling over in his grave cuz of u

[icehawk1223]

ya charlie parker's not too happy right now. and i also hope kenny g doesnt watch this. if i could dance like a totally tard i my video would be the same thing lol. it was a combo of like 6 notes to a basic blues backing track with a growl. wow thats really hard.

[That1jazzguy]

Ahhhh! Never utter the word Charlie "Bird" Parker and Kenny G in the same sentence again. Ahhhh! Now you made me do it!

[shepgthollywood]

dude. ever heard of Charlie Parker? Cannonball Adderley? Sonny Stitt? there are MUCH better players than this guy. hes a good entertainer, but hes not a good musician.

[tarikmckeython]

i agree

[dcsax101]

get a tuner you piece of shit

[johnnyman2221]

dude this guy is badass

[ZakkWyldeand3DG]

kewlioa yeya boi

[oober349]

that was not hard at all

[confoozled3737]

Seconded.

Just because he did a cover of a popular tune doesn't mean he's good, guys.

Look for the real talent out there.

[rahkym]

What song is this?

[highvoltijj]

pick up the pieces - average white band

[brown1983]

I wish he hadn't skipped the coolest part of the song.

[saxyfajitas]

some people will do anything to get on TV i guess...

[Decafe95]

are altos hard to learn if you can already read music and stuff like that?

[mcgune]

pretty hard to learn. still enough time and practise it's no harder than any other instrument

[nicothebestboy]

you you ya tu sabes

[DrewDawg50]

what a fag

[evergreach2346]

i agree

[paulartist]

was that an alto i couldnt tell? i need to know cause i wanna buy a sax i dont know between tenor and alto suggestions

im plying tenor in class and i like it

[4ply87]

that is an alto either saxophone is great, both are played the same too

[itspatric]

tenor just is maybe 3 or 4 inches bigger, it's a lower sound, and the mouthpeice is curvy. this was an alto sax. that's what i'm playing, and i stink.

[paulartist]

istarted tenor a few days ago nad im pretty good

[itspatric]

yeah, i just started like 2 weeks ago and i can play mary had a little lamb. haha

[TigerDude101]

dude the neck is curved not the mouthpiece...

[itspatric]

yeah. thanks for trying to educate me. i knew that already. whatever.

[normtrav]

the neck is curved, not the mouthpiece. For your info get a Rasher mouthpiece , its awesome !

[danieldude19]

actually the neck is curved lol i play alto 2

[itspatric]

we have the best middle school band in the country

[robtic360]

And that is?

[That1jazzguy]

Ahhhhhhhhhh! Middle School bands! They're the best! RUN!

[brooke33pyro]

im pretty sure that you stink because you clearly dont know what a tenor actually looks like

[itspatric]

wow. i'm pretty sure you have no life... if you travel back 1 month in comments just to try to get a youtube fight started.

nice. i like your thinking, jk. your a loser.

and i don't "stink" at playing alto

[nimogt]

even though there wasn't a solo section he did embellish on the melody and fill in some parts, which kinda gave him his own feel to the song. However, if you think this guy is REALLY good, then you need to learn what good sax players sound like. He's a decent player, but his efforts to growl and sound funky ruin his tone quality. David Sanborn can do all that and still sound like a pro

[garfieldUSA]

what's the title of that music? i wanna download , ofcourse the original , lmao! i like him too, he is good!

[were2220]

its called were22201 phenomenal

[garfieldUSA]

PICK UP THE PIECES, thank you dummy!

[userdude334]

its called Pick Up The Peices

[garfieldUSA]

yeah i got it , thanks userdud334.

[nickster521]

yall just mad cuz yall didnt have the chance and by the way if you listen to the original record of the sond then you will note that it all sound the same so just bit some dill and sh

[Jebsax206]

wouldn't last in any music school for a minute

[facemash]

That didn't sound very good at all. Sounds way too abrasive.

[nicothebestboy]

its good

[laurenstma]

That's some creepy shit dude. Doesn't he look like Jim Carrey a bit?

[giandop]

Anybody can tell me the song name?

Thanks ;-)

[Midvalley711]

Pick up the Pieces

[giandop]

Thanks

[streeturbo21]

pick up the pieces

[confoozled3737]

People like this guy are ruining music for today's society.

I was honestly embarrassed for him. He made a complete fool of himself.

[rickparma]

I totally agree people like this piss me off.

Although he does move smoothly but his playing sucks

[tenorsaxsoul]

I dont see why some people are being so harsh on this guy. He's supposed to be ENTERTAINING, not a saxophone phenomenon. jeez.

[RBeckles]

PICK UP THE PIECES!!!!!!!!!

[Saxyman14]

I'm embarrassed for him

[tanbark813]

The sax playing sucks. He's out of tune the whole time and he avoided the middle solo section in the song. If he was a good player he wouldn't need all the goofy, gimmicky choreography and he would have done his own improv somewhere in there (aside from the little flourishes he and there). He makes Dave Koz look sedated. :)

[facemash]

No solo section because the performances are limited to a very short time.

[klastiaan]

this rocks!

[theFrigatt]

lol

[THEjazzfil]

shesh0911...what do you mean...for this song..tuning isnt required, becuase of the constant changes..and if he was as bad as you make him sound...1) he wouldnt be on the show..and 2) he wouldnt have made it through the hole song....HAVE A NICE DAY :)!

[evergreach2346]

have u ever watched the show?? the let MANY terrible ppl on. exibit A: this guy. tuning is required for EVERY song no matter how many changes there are. there's a difference between intonation and accidentals.

..... HAVE A NICE DAY DUMBASS! :)

[BrannenSaxGuy]

great dancer, okay sax player

[Megalomax2310]

LMFAO, This dude beast modes his whole performance. You people who say he sucks, haha yall are dumbshits. Im an all state player, I know what good saxophones sound like, and he is a good saxophone player.

[dap1mp]

yup thats true im in all state euphonium player and allcity sax player ihave heard a good saxophone and that is a goods sax

[Mike754]

he's a good player but kinda goofy in the choergraphy

[klastiaan]

word

[saxlunatic]

...u must be in a lame state brotha

[tanbark813]

lol.. Agreed.

[dvnstvn9]

come on this guy can play, and he is in tune. it takes some real skill to be able to play like that and dance like michael jackson at the same time, yall just hatin'

[SAXTail2]

This guy has some for real talent.......coming from a real sax player....nice tone bro

[Shesh0911]

THIS FUCKING TERRIBLE, anyone who cant tell that this guy sucks has no ears. plus hes an idiot. cant even play in tune

[cld25397]

OMG that was insanly gd

[saxplayer0102]

wow!!!!!! i got goose bumps from watching that

[Lman095]

That guy is pretty good! Give him some credit!

[393071]

i was expecting something good. I am disappointed. The guy cant play for shit

[skittlez10672]

he is probably 50 times better than you. you would have to be ole bird to beat him

[evergreach2346]

dude, i'm in middle school and i could rock this guys socks off. yes i have videos, but they're from last year so don't judge my ability from those. i can kick his ass now.

[kilik41]

dude you suck... no way you got that much better in a year

[evergreach2346]

can u do any better?? and yes i got much better, and not even in a whole year. it was only a few months. there's this great thing called "practicing." i used that technique to get better. so take ur opinion and shove it back up ur ass

[That1jazzguy]

For some reason I don't quite believe that a middle school kid could do this.....

[Pkpure930]

Pick up the pieces! ;D My brother played the tenor sax solo for his high school jazz band 3 years ago. ;D

[rockfreakinsolid]

Oh, wait.... nevermind - I remember now :P lol

[rockfreakinsolid]

I can't, for the life of me, remember the %&$#?@! name of that tune!! What is it??

[tanbark813]

Pick Up The Pieces

[rockfreakinsolid]

Yeah, I remembered it within seconds after I posted that (as the next comment shows) hehe ^_~

Yeah, pretty damned good tune - and that guy plays it well, as well as adds to his performance with his dancin' around haha

Anyhow, thanks for tossing up the video - it was quite inspiring :D - rockfreakinsolid ^_^

[Erikolson99]

wow. Sucky..

[VIDMonsta]

im rofling right now

[JPSaxMan]

Meh he needs some work on intonation but all things considered I thought he was pretty good. Not sure if he's exactly phenomenal, but, he's not bad either.

[Dougles152]

welll.. he cant play sax that well.. but DANCING like that AND simultaneously playing even like this.. pretty pretty cooL!!

[leono333]

jajajaja is Michael Jackson playing sax!! jaja

[musimoy]

[Reap3r07]
