The endurance to dance while playing comes with practice. For him, that was playing in the subway for years. He found that when he danced, he got more money, so he started dancing while playing. I can only dance for a few songs with my tuba before needing a break, but I don't consistently practice nor have I been dancing with my tuba for very long(maybe like 2 months).

Some people are the center of attention, not because they demand it, but quite simply deserve it. Leo P is one of those people.

Fun Fact: The trumpet player is a VERY accomplished musician. His name is Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah (now goes by Chief Xian aTunde Adjuah). I’ve been a fan of his since 2006 and he is constantly pushing the envelope of what being an artist is. His music fully encapsulates the struggles of life and the love and loss that comes with it. He came up studying jazz, but has since moved the music in new directions. Great player and great writer. 🎺

Oldschool drummers (Krupa days) made their own tempo, and the band either carried on with them, or got lost. But the drummers usually were good enough that they'd bring the band all together in tightness. Modern drummers have the advantage of having access to a "click track" in their ear (if they want it). Hence why some drummers can get such a "machine" rhythm going. Although, I suspect very few jazz drummers ever need or use one.

I think something that people fail to realize is the breath control needed to do the thing at 1:05. Listen to it and try to hear where he breathes in, but then look at the video. He is taking *very* frequent and deep breaths. The fact that someone can do that and not pass out is pretty amazing. That short breathing technique contributes a lot to this performance, really.

Idk, I am a tenor and all so I respect that dancing part I could never do but like I am only a freshman and idk how low a works and all which I think he plays here idk but for me it is quite easy to take a breath between those notes, especially because he doesn't need to take deep breaths because that would be worse for him. You see, when you take deeper breaths like that in between notes, your body needs you to inhale again for oxygen and most times if you have deep breaths there, you're going to end up with too much air and you will not be able to exhale properly which will affect his body and his head too much. Not saying I am better, just wanted to point out a few facts I believe and I am up for a disproof Edit: although it is entirely possible that the extra air would go to helping him move, considering that I never play while moving like that so I wouldn't know 0.0

This could very well be the grandest display of sheer showmanship since Queen Live at Live Aid in '85. Putting aside the musical talent, which is exceptional, the sheer delight in the viewer that this chaos creates cannot be overstated.

Love Leo in this but massive shoutout to Christian Scott as well. That trumpet section is to die for imo just so clean.

Unpopular opinion, and I'll be the first to admit it's petty. But the puffed cheeks bother me. That was something that was hammered into me when I picked up the sax at 9 years old. My dad played sax and would NEVER let me get away with puffing my cheeks out. Guy could blow, though. Just get the cheeks in!

I’ve never seen someone with complete control of their instrument like Leo P, and still able to have fun and be flashy

i guess if we talk about being in complete mastery and looking not serious while being perfect... we will talk about Jimmy Hendrix and Buddy Rich

This might very well be the BEST performance ever given.

Every now and then someone actually finds what they were born to do. A handful every generation that stumble upon the thing they can do that leaves an indelible mark on future generations. Leo is one of those generational talents. Somebody introduce him to Les Claypool.

i was so captivated by his dance and skill i didn't even notice until now, that sax has seen a lot of use. The finish is scratched in more places than it isn't. Just goes to show that you don't need some pristine shiny new instrument to make awesome music, just a quality instrument.

Nice reference

There’s a rumor that due to a transportation issue, Leo P. missed most or all of the dress rehearsal so this really was hits first time out with this group. I’m liken to believe that as the second he steps out and starts hitting his moves with his horn the conductor starts smiling like he had absolutely no clue what was happening but loved it.

He said he only rehearsed it once, they were aware of what he'd do. He actually didn't have anything to wear he got that suit the day of the performance and had to buy the shirt and stuff hours before the performance, all he had was the boots. It was funny that he was more concerned about his wardrobe than actually performing, he knew or was confident he'd kill it the whole time.

Jazz is really the right music for the improv. But even so, the drummer was a hero for backing him up.

I can't stop watching this guy play. It is just incredible on so many levels. He's got amazing talent and I dig that he also gave himself an iconic appearance that really makes the whole performance pop visually too. When you are this off the chain, you gotta look the part too. Leo nailed it!

I love how everyone is trying to be so professional and then there's just Leo having a good time

Christian Scott and Leo Pellegrino are both absolute machines. Edit: Every single musician in that show were amazing, that's one of the best performance I've ever seen.

Anyone here bother watching the whole 2 hour concert? It's quite good, then Leo comes on at the end and steps it up even more. Wow, to be there live!

Sax will never die, it adds a layer of funk you just cant replicate with any other instrument.

the smile on the drummer's face after his solo is priceless....beautiful stuff!!!!!!!!!

@Calebk504

2 жыл бұрын

That smile partly came from having his solo cut short and him not being ready for it but still pulling through like a champ. Originally the solo is 24 bars long, you can even see in the back ground the upright bassist calls 4 bars until the end to the conductor, but the conductor finishes it right away throwing the drummer off guard. They all played it incredibly and we a good sport about it.

I never heard of Leo till I caught this. So impressed with him as a showman. That Bari is heavy, & he tosses it around like a toy. Mingus' Moanin is serious music, and he done the great one proud. The orchestra is huge - the classics crowd isn't used to swinging. Most important, the audience dug it and that opens minds to jazz and Mingus. Leo had a vision and he paid his dues. He's arrived. Update: Rock jazz? Leo makes sax - bari no less - cool.

Saw a video from the subway. With all of his jumping around he's got complete control of his horn. This performance shows that he knows serious music and is more than a showman.

I'm 39 yrs old and I still hope to be half as cool as Leo P when I grow up.

I’m pretty sure this is the greatest thing the KZread algo has ever gifted me!
