Happy Easter everybody! What better way to listen to some Marc Russo with the Yellowjackets on "Revelaton". Grab some delicious gospel and blues licks, if you can. Hmm, it occurred to me that Marc Russo physically even looks a bit like Jesus,, is that just me? /Jorre

our lord and saviour, altissimo jesus 🙏

The 2:34 line always blows my mind. It's amazing to listen how fast and melodic he was on the altissimo register

I'm so glad you made this vid,I knew Marc quite well and even jammed with him at Kenzakis lounge bar in SF,USA I wouldn't dare play my alto next to him I brought my soprano such a great experience playing next to legend like that I always wondered how he got all that altissimo out of old Meyer 6 medium MP ,Rico plastic cover black reeds with rowner ligature Great player ,I remember even Sanborn mentioning his name saying that he is not the great altissimo player, there is this guy in Bay Area play Altissimo with Brecker chops I hanged out with Marc at times and seen him play with the great yellow jackets several times Here is a info you might not know but but Marc has a younger brother almost equally good on alto saxophone Thanks for bringing me back

The undisputed GOAT of altissimo and split tone

One of my very favorites!

One of my favorite saxophonists, saw him a bunch with the Tommy Igoe Groove Conspiracy!

One of my favorite alto players along with Cannonball and Kenny.

Also the nicest guy on the planet

he’s the reason I can play altissimo

Back when the yellowjackets were good...........

They're still good but this lineup was special.

"Looks a bit like Jesus?" That's blasphemy, Jorre! And why are you calling Him Marc Russo?

He has a nice sound. Not so bright.
