Special Edition Request Line: Saxy Friday AND ALSO OPEN THREAD

INT. CASA DE DEADLY – LATE AFTERNOON

RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY: My neck hurts.

KONTENT MONSTER: Feed me.

RTD: Yeah, but…

KONTENT MONSTER: FEED ME!

RTD: All right, fine. It feels weird to do a second special edition Request Line in a row, but I have always had a mind to do a Saxy Friday theme. Songs with saxophone featured prominently in them, and maybe some sexy saxophone players, too. I’ll get us started with one that covers both bases.

I’ve always considered this song to be a sexy song, in a very masculine way.

https://youtu.be/rXqWCeB8Vto

yeah right

Last night in the great north woods heading home tomorrow.

Great stuff but definitely a Stepford Wives thing going out here in the suburbs.

It constantly felt like someone was going to yell “Cut everyone! Great take! Now all of you white folks grab some lunch and we’ll reconvene in 30!”

Still waiting for the break.

Mr. Ayo

Can’t believe I’m being sub-tweeted on this site.

yeah right

First time to personally experience and make the observation.

You’ve got my major respect and friendship.

Everything looks like a false front on a movie set in these new areas.

They didn’t even make the effort to false age the facades.

Mr. Ayo

You’re completely correct of course. There’s a reason the term Seattle Freeze exists. I’ve known it well since moving here.

yeah right

I admonish myself for being naive sometimes. My daughter and I did a 5 mile hike yesterday and everyone we met on the walk was as sweet as pumpkin pie.

We went out to dinner tonight with my granddaughter who didn’t join us on the hike yesterday and she’s gorgeous in a very not bright white shiny penny way, the only one like her in the restaurant.

The service was cold but efficient.

Didn’t even notice it at the time but a few minutes after we left.

Damn.

SonOfSpam

Fucking sucks, I hope your granddaughter didn’t notice it.

Need to nuke this place from orbit and start over.

Mr. Ayo

Yeah, sucks. She’s such a sweetheart, hope she didn’t notice.

yeah right

I like to think she didn’t notice but mom has her hyper aware. She’s only 6 but she’s had crazy strong role models. Her San Diego support group is incredible and she’s already aware of so many things she shouldn’t have to be aware of at her age.

Like she can’t walk outside as a 6 year old little girl with a fucking Nerf gun.

Have I mentioned the moving to Portugal thing yet?

I’d tell her I am eager to learn

Don’t wanna say how many times I played this CD whilst in high school, but let’s just say it was a lot

JV SHA’NKLOR HAS ENTERED THE GAME

I’ve discovered a way to slow down time, and it is apparaenly watching this FSU-Louisville game. Was there a crab legs delay or something?

The Maestro

I flipped over from that game a couple hours ago. Are the Noles still shitting the bed?

litre_cola

FSU covering, I am good!

The Maestro

Clarence Clemons was the reason I picked up the horn in the first place.

I remember being 12 years old, and my parents made me practise saxophone out in the garage for a year because I was so fucking bad. (I was so, so fucking bad.)

After that year, I was still bad… but good enough to listen to this tune and finally, after days of picking through it little by little, I could play it. And that just opened up my entire world. What a special thing.

True, as a player, Clarence was perhaps nothing special when it came to technique, ideas, etc… but when it came to chemistry in the band, stage presence, that je ne sais quoi with Bruce… he was second to none. And that’s why he’s in my all-time hall of fame. The Born to Run album changed my life. I’ll never be able to thank him enough for that.

She is/was the voice of satan and all his followers. She helped spread the disinformation. She is as guilty of treason as any of them.

Joshua Redman remains one of my fave tenor players of all time. I was in a small combo in high school and we did this tune. We were lucky to have an embarrassment of talented sax players – so deep that I was actually relegated to playing keys in this combo. He’s always had a great ear for melodic lines, and the organ part is fucking tight. (It’s deceptively hard. I invented many curse words having to learn it as a teenager.) Plus, Redman used FX pedals with his horn on this Elastic Band album. Far more interesting stuff than the old Varitone mics that Selmer used to sell on their horns back in the ’60s and ’70s, which were always unreliable junk.

I can barely have the TV on or check a sportsball site without another jackass alert blowing (obviously roiding again) Poo Holes. I may be off el beisbol for good.

I finished the 3rd of the “Axeman’s Jazz” series this afternoon. Always sad when you know there’s only one left in a booky-book series, though.

The Maestro

Vince Denham. Highly underrated alto player. Don Ellis wrote this feature tune specifically for him on his album “Soaring” back in ’73. The first time hearing this tune, and this album, absolutely blew my mind in regards to writing and orchestrating for big band. I think I was 15. Don Ellis was out there, man. But god damn, it’s a great tune. And Vince is chewing on the scenery all the while.

DAT’S A BLOODY OUTRAGE IT IS

The Maestro

Dave Koz is, of course, a monster in the smooth jazz/funk world, but holy fuck, Kenni Holmen, who’s a member of the Hornheads (Prince’s former backing band), gets the solo on this one, and just rips it to fucking shreds. Oh my god.

THIS CATEGORY IS SO RICH FOR SOMEONE EXACTLY MY AGE!!!

The Maestro

Evening, gentlefucks and gentlefuckettes. I am writing trombone music and drinking dollar beer while watching the CFL. I am in the goddamn POCKET right now.

(And yes, the coincidence of me, a person with a Bachelor of Music in saxophone performance, writing trombone music rather than something for myself is some highly palpable irony for tonight’s theme.)

Sweet-ass sax solo in this song and in like half their songs

My son invited a bunch of high school buddies for an over-nighter. One of them declared that he’s finally off drugs. After listening to him babble on and watching him fall into the lake, I don’t think it makes the least bit of difference in his behavior.

WCS

“What do you mean PCP is drug?!”

King Hippo

maybe he meant “off his face?”

If the Seminoles can get their heads out of their asses that would be great.

You bet a favourite. In a Friday night ACC fixture.

Being a close contact to a positive test result got me cockblocked. Big way to crown a very unfun week.

You didn’t successfully argue that #NuAids is not technically an STD?

King Hippo

YET

I self-reported. And may I die before becoming a carrier of cooties.

King Hippo

Allow Hippo to complain (I noe, BIG SHOCK) – instead of competitive bike racing or going on an epic hike with your perfectly interracial friend group, one of these dump pharma ads should show an old man masturbating at the bus stop. LET’S BE REAL

WCS

In words, you want paid for ad agencies recording and air your usual commute?

Stay until the end unless you want to miss the sax parts smgdh:
