From Wikipedia :
The 1970s traditional jazz band The Memphis Nighthawks built their sound around a bass saxophone played by the diminutive Dave Feinman, who could just reach his mouthpiece. Some of the finest revivalist bass saxophonist performing today in the 1920s-1930s style are Vince Giordano and Bert Brandsma, leader of the Dixieland Crackerjacks. Jazz players using the instrument in a more contemporary style include Roscoe Mitchell, Anthony Braxton, Peter Brötzmann, J. D. Parran, Hamiet Bluiett, James Carter, Stefan Zeniuk, Vinny Golia, Joseph Jarman, Jan Garbarek, Urs Leimgruber, Tony Bevan, and Scott Robinson, though none of these uses it as their primary instrument.

In the genres of rock and funk, Angelo Moore of the American band Fishbone plays bass saxophone. In the 1960s, Rodney Slater used the instrument in the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, as did Ralph Carney of the avant-garde rock band Tin Huey, which formed in the 1970s. John Linnell of They Might Be Giants (formed 1982) and Dana Colley of Morphine (formed 1989) also play the bass saxophone on occasion.

I can't believe the bass sax player is wearing the horn around his neck man that weighs a ton!

[ABrandsma]

Actually this bass sax is carried with two straps, one goes only over 1 shoulder and carries the most weight. The other that goes really around the neck only stabilizes the horn. It prevents it from moving to much, but does not really have much of the weight.

But anyway, its heavy enough, that's right.

It looks cold there....... come to Florida and warm up!!

[ABrandsma]

Tomorrow we will play in Nijmegen again.... temperature predicted even colder!!!!

Where's that ticket to Florida?

Haha,

Thanks,

altijd weer goed wat jullie doen, maar ik miste Lielian. Op 4 januari wel van de partij?

[ABrandsma]

Nee, helaas zijn we in Nijmegen slechts met 4 personen geboekt, maar aangezien het een serie van 3 was, hebben we het toch aangenomen.

Lielian speelt morgen op Schiermonnikoog wel mee,dan zijn we met de 5 vaste mensen.

groetjes,

Bert

[ABrandsma]

Op 4 januari 2009 is ons eerste optreden in het nieuwe jaar, op dezelfde plek als dit filmpje. Laatste dag van de Mariken Winterfeesten in Nijmegen.

30 dec is de laatste van 2008, maar dat is op Schiermonnikoog.

Alvast een fijne jaarwisseling gewenst,

Bert Brandsma
