Ron King Big Band at Typhoon Restaurant is Santa Monica, Ca. February 21st, 2011.
Check out the sax player (who arrived late to the gig due to L.A. traffic), stepping in with a reed in his mouth, picks up the groove... and then just "knocks the back out" of his solo!
That's what we call gettin' busy baby :)
Haha! In my own defense, I was originally on time and we found out the 2nd tenor book was missing 10 minutes before downbeat. THEN you get the LA traffic going out to track down the book, and 45 minutes into the set I get to play my first note, just in time for my solo. Craziness! (Half the band didn't know where I was and they said they were back there planning my memorial service. Haha..) Thanks for posting. ;)
