  • Jazz will never die

  • I think what sets Eric apart from so many musicians is that when you hear and see him play, there's no doubt that he is controlling the instrument. So many young musicians, especially students such as myself, feel like they're limited by the horn. "I can't play that, if I do, I'll squeak or frack" blah blah blah, excuses excuses. No matter what I struggle with playing on my horn, I can tell that Eric doesn't because he's the one playing the instrument, it isn't playing him.

  • His sax just lost its virginity[:

  • @AlexDiPeppe and i have never seen anyone impregnate an inanimate object solely with blowing and fingering!

  • I have never heard a saxophone cry from sheer joy before. Now I have

  • white

  • we tried to play this song when I was in high school and got about through the first 32 measures, it's so hard.

  • eric did it again

  • eric is the best funk/smooth player, chris potter the best in every other way

  • It doesn't matter who's the bestestest saxophone player out there. What matters is that Eric absolutely rocks the HELL out of this song.

  • Wow.

  • Guys the only reason you think that Marienthal is better than Parker is because he is more original. Back when Parker was famous it wasn't considered good to go nuts and start screaming and growling and stuff. Parker was still nuts though. Marienthal is very good but will never be as musically genius has Parker. Personally, I don't think Marienthal is even close to being the best saxophone player alive. My favorites are James Carter, Sonny Rollins, and David Sanborn.
