anyone know the first song being played in this vid?

[classicsaxes]

This is Rob Verdi with Saxophobia. The opening tune I play is called "This I Dig Of You" which I first heard on a Hank Mobley recording. I am on a concert tour right now without my CD's but seem to recall the CD was "Soul Station". Hope that helps.

Yaaay i remember when u came to ylms!! The supranino sax and the Contrabass sax FREAK MEH OUT!!!

[musicmanson]

The straight tenor has an almost similar timbre of a soprano sax, which is cool. I never noticed that until now.

That is not an Orsi curved sopranino, it was made by Dolnet.
