Chick Corea Elektric Band - Eric Marienthal Solo

[walsh93jazz]

highly recommend erics book to sax players in particular but anyone interested in jazz would benefit IMO.

[YerlaSax]

Eric Marienthal, Stefano di Battista, Kenny Garrett, they all predecessors Parker! And it is not news that they are playing. Because they once plowed!

Sorry, @adojferz, but to me it´s absolutely about Marienthal. 

[ericfontainejazz]

how can you play such great music and then go play smovjazz behind our backs?

[adojferz]

people doesn't understand that this video is really about patitucci

[devianzikri]

Eric... your technique is flawless...

[nyuknyuknyuk101]

Why does this man feel the need to make smooth jazz albums?

[edmondssax]

@nyuknyuknyuk101 cuz he is the best at every genre haha

[Fulltondano]

@nyuknyuknyuk101 coz it's a hell lot easier to listen to for many, those that like this, listen to it, those that like CJ listen to that. He makes more albums sales becaause he does. Which of course is NOT the main thing, but it does make life easier.

[FilipSaxMkd]

what is the problem with the sound? is to low...

[ivansetux]

master...

[evergreach2346]

his finger technique is outstanding. keeps them curled and on the pearls at all time. it's like they're barely moving. what i would give to have that kind of control.

[SquidChip314]

He's so good because when he got kicked out of college, he waited tables at night and practiced 7 hours during the day, every day.

[cantcatchthejoker]

@SquidChip314 sorry that's not true

[SquidChip314]

orly read his biography on his website XD

[dmmc1043]

@cantcatchthejoker I had scholarships to berklee and was refused to the school, apparently scholarship and admissions were a different process... and the director of admissions did not like me

[pilgram45]

i thought marienthal went to berklee back in the day and graduated with the first high honors degree

[SquidChip314]

I could be wrong, but I thought he got kicked out of berklee. Maybe I read his bio wrong...

[harrysbrother]

what mouthpiece does eric use???

[Mattytheman91]

@harrysbrother Beechler Bellite metal mouthpiece i think

[MagicmAKir]

amazing! :D

[SlappytheNinja]

Wait, holy shit, how many freaking frets does John Pattituci's bass have?

[aionbass]

26 I think

[stonefreeJMH]

God he's good. What I wouldn't give to date his daughter...

[SlappytheNinja]

Dude, have you seen his Spain solo? It's AWESOME!

[gotmilk1289]

I love how Marienthal is able to adapt so well to what kind of music he is playing. Everything he plays is great. I think his sax is magic.

[Marabala10]

muito bom... jazz na veia deste rapaz!

[gpitts08]

To me, I think its crazy to see how much Marienthal's have grown since his first encounters with the Elictrick Band in the late 80s or early 90s. Then watch him do this. My favorite sax player hands down. You cant beat his personality!

[jazzgod101]

apologies to montreauxs, that previous comment was supposed to be a response to someone else's comment, but showed up at the top of the list.

[brooklyn358]

He always has these melodic overtones, even when he plays advanced stuff like this. Electric Band without him wouldn't be the same.

[tEhrXXz0r]

My Lord, Marienthal is a beast!

[rogersat]

this solo is brilliant, regardless of what you think of the type of music he normally plays.

[pong224]

Ok... long time ago, I was kinda....eh about Eric, because I thought he only played smooth, but seeing that he plays like every kind of music has changed my perception of him.

[Saxman7777]

I saw these guys at Cambridge university England, They were awesome...I got to spend some time with them after shooting the shit about jazz with eric and dave weckel...Great jazz musicians..

[visualventure]

The most amazing yet underappreciated horn player! He's a walking tribute to the founders and an amazing inspiration to modern players.

[Sopransaxman23]

WHOA!! WHOA!! Mr. Marienthal is Loved

[markVItenorstud10]

what awesome patterns and lines in his solo and thanks for the comment jdawgwi. eric is a monster.

[keepitclenched]

stick to smooth...

[jdawgwi]

you should be shot for saying that you ignorant bastard

[samfreemanwatford]

marienthal is possibly the best alto player wen it comes to proper jazz! his smooth stuff is a disgrace to his abilities

[JCBoxolada]

what's the name of the song?

[FlowJazz]

That's "Got A Match?" one of Chick's best tune. The way the rythm evolves (starting at 0:50 ) is ABSOLUTELY CRAZY ! Those guys are legends !

[jamesvasconcellos]

Grande Eric.

Não me canso de ser fã desse gênio do sax moderno.
