Hi!
English:
This is my live looping cover of Levitating by Dua Lipa. I combined two beats to get this sound, both of which I made with Native Instruments Maschine Mikro.
I use a slap bass part which is super fun, and then add a synth keys part. The play the melody on sax and improvise. The melody was a little difficult because it involves a lot of fast tonguing, but I think it sounded ok in the ended.
I really like this song a lot, and I'm a big fan of Dua Lipa.
Enjoy!

Esta es mi versión en vivo de Levitating de Dua Lipa. Combiné dos ritmos para obtener este sonido, ambos los hice con Native Instruments Maschine Mikro.
Utilizo una parte de bajo slap que es súper divertida y luego agrego una parte de teclas de sintetizador. Tocan la melodía en el saxo e improvisan. La melodía fue un poco difícil porque implica mucha pronunciación rápida, pero creo que al final sonó bien.
Realmente me gusta mucho esta canción y soy un gran admirador de Dua Lipa.

Once that is recorded, I start soloing on flute with the classic delay. After a solo, I add a flute loop repeated. Then I add a secord drum loop.
Following this, I start to solo on sax.
I turn off the bass, so its just sax, keyboard, and drums. I record a repeated sax line, then I bring the bass back in. Then I turn off the drums and let everything else run. Enjoy!

I start out with just a house track, and the bass. I create a funky/motown inspired bass line, then I follow it with a "guitar" type line. I switch to the keyboard, and add a Fender Rhodes riff, similar to James Brown's Sex Machine guitar line. Then I add a Wobbly synth effect. Then the flute enters. The flute is using heavy reverb and delay as usual. I solo on the flute for a while. I add a repeated flute line, first a high part, then a low part. Then I start to solo on harmonica.
I add a repeated harmonica loop after the solo, and then begin to solo on sax.
I like to keep the sax solo simple in the beginning, because there are so many other things happening.
After soloing for a while, I add a repeated sax riff. Then I turn off the house track and let the groove run.

First with a chord structure. Then i add a sax riff, that I record in the loop. After that, I add a flute riff in the loop.

¡Hola!
Me gusta crear atascos como este. Uso Ableton Live para crear todo, en seis instrumentos. Grabo cada bucle con un pedal. Todo es completamente improvisado, no hay dos conciertos iguales.
Comienzo con una mezcla de dos bucles diferentes y luego grabo un bajo encima de ellos. Esto es seguido por una línea de guitarra, creando una especie de ritmo hinchable.
Luego agrego clavinet con el teclado.
Primero con una estructura de acordes. Luego agrego un riff de saxo, que grabo en el loop. Después de eso, agrego un riff de flauta en el bucle.

Hello!
I use Ableton Live to create everything, on six instruments. I record each loop with a footpedal. Everything is completely improvised-no two concerts are the same.
This jam starts with one of my favorite tracks, then I put a slap bass over the top, and then add a "guitar" line with the bass.
Then I start soloing with the flute.
I stop to record some chords with a Fender Rhodes keyboard song, then return to record a flute loop.
Then I record a couple words in a short rap loop.
Then I start to solo on the sax for a while.
Then I stop everything except the bass loops. At the right moment I bring track in.
Enjoy the groove!

This is a continuation of the previously jam, It continues into quite a great groove. I use Ableton Live to create everything, on six instruments. I record each loop with a footpedal. Everything is completely improvised-no two concerts are the same.
I start with a drum and conga loop, then I add I repeated bass riff over the top. Once that is grooving, I bring in the organ. I bring in a repeated organ latin riff over the top, then I bring in chords again. Then i bring in the sax to start soloing. I find a sax hook, and record it with harmonies. Then I record a couple words that get looped as well.

I use Ableton Live to create everything, on six instruments. I record each loop with a footpedal. Everything is completely improvised-no two concerts are the same.
This jam starts with a house track combined with a conga loop. I add a latin type bass line, Then I add a "guitar" type riff with the bass over the top. Then I go to the keyboard and add a riff with a sound called "Duck". Then I begin to solo over the top on the sax, starting with slow lines. I add a repeated sax riff, then continue to solo. I add a rap phrase looped. I then add a harmony to the sax part I've already recorded. I add a second drum loop, a little funky. Then I continue soloing on the sax.
Then I stop the bass, and just let the drums and the sax loop keep playing. Then I bring the bass back in. Then I begin to get crazy on the sax. I silence everything except the sax harmonies, and cut out the mid to give it a "DJ" effect. Then I bring the drums back, so its just drums and sax.
Sick jam, I hope you enjoy!

Agrego un segundo bucle de batería, un poco funky. Luego sigo haciendo solos en el saxo.
Luego detengo el bajo y dejo que la batería y el saxofón sigan sonando. Luego vuelvo a traer el bajo. Entonces empiezo a volverme loco con el saxo. Silencio todo excepto las armonías de saxo, y corto el medio para darle un efecto de "DJ". Luego traigo de vuelta la batería, así que solo son batería y saxofón.

Hello!
I particularly liked this jam, there were a lot of good moments.
I use Ableton Live to create everything, on six instruments. I record each loop with a footpedal. Everything is completely improvised-no two concerts are the same.
First I loop a bassline over the track. Then I go to the keyboard and loop a Fender Rhodes sound over the top, jazz type of chords. Then i go back to the bass and loop a "guitar" part using the upper frets of the bass.
Then I add a flute loop over the top-with heavy reverb. Then I add a second drum beat to go with everything else. Then I add harmonica, and I solo for a while on harmonica. I loop part of the harmonica. I loop a a few words as well.
Then I bring the sax for some epic riffs. While doing this, I add another drum beat, this time one that is more rhythmic. I keep soloing on the sax and add to the groove. I stop everything except the drums, and loop a hook with the sax, with delay. Then I add a new bassline once the sax is recorded. Then I add a "guitar" line with the bass. Then I go to the keyboard and add a lead line in octaves. After the lead line, I record a keyboard repeated part. Then I turn off the mid eq for second, and bring it back in. I start soloing again on the sax, as it fades out. Enjoy! Feel free to share this music, for a party or whatever.

¡Hola!
Me gustó especialmente este atasco, hubo muchos buenos momentos.
Uso Ableton Live para crear todo, en seis instrumentos. Grabo cada bucle con un pedal. Todo es completamente improvisado, no hay dos conciertos iguales.
Primero pongo una línea de bajo sobre la pista. Luego voy al teclado y hago un bucle con un sonido de Fender Rhodes por encima, acordes tipo jazz. Luego vuelvo al bajo y hago un bucle de una parte de "guitarra" usando los trastes superiores del bajo.
Luego agrego un bucle de flauta sobre la parte superior, con una fuerte reverberación. Luego agrego un segundo golpe de batería para acompañar todo lo demás. Luego agrego la armónica, y hago un solo por un tiempo en la armónica. Bucle parte de la armónica. Bucle algunas palabras también.
Luego traigo el saxo para algunos riffs épicos. Mientras hago esto, agrego otro golpe de batería, esta vez uno que es más rítmico. Sigo haciendo solos en el saxo y agrego ritmo. Detengo todo excepto la batería, y hago un bucle con el saxo, con retraso. Luego agrego una nueva línea de bajo una vez que se graba el saxo. Luego agrego una línea de "guitarra" con el bajo. Luego voy al teclado y agrego una línea principal en octavas. Después de la línea principal, grabo una parte repetida del teclado. Luego apago el ecualizador medio por segundo y lo vuelvo a activar. Empiezo a hacer solos de nuevo en el saxo, mientras se desvanece. ¡Disfrutar! Siéntete libre de compartir esta música, para una fiesta o lo que sea.

I use Ableton Live to create everything, on six instruments. I record each loop with a footpedal. Everything is completely improvised-no two concerts are the same.
First I bring a "guitar" riff using the bass, and loop it. Then I bring in a keyboard "Wobbly" effect. Over these loops, I solo on the sax for while. Then, I add a sax loop. Then I add a harmony part to the first part.
Then, I finally bring in a bass part-rather busy. I delete the sax loops also.

This is part of the the concert we did in Llano Grande, Colombia. We take well-known songs and improvise around them. This is Just the Two of Us by Bill Withers and Grover Washington.
We have Ruben on percussion, Carlos on keyboards, Santiago on bass, and myself on sax, flute and harmonica.
Let me give the road map of this jam.
We start with the melody, with Ruben on castanets, which gives a great feel.
I play the melody, and then start soloing.
I loop a sax line, while Carlos starts to solo on organ. While he is doing this, I make a harmony part to the first riff that I made.
As we build, Ruben switches to congas.
After the sax riffs are built, I take another solo. Great solo, I have to admit hahaha. Then Carlos takes a solo on synth lead, almost sounds like a hip-hop lead.
After his solo I play the melody again. We play the melody a couple times, and then we end on the famous sax riff.
Español:

Tenemos a Rubén en la percusión, Carlos en los teclados, Santiago en el bajo y yo en el saxo, la flauta y la armónica.
Permítanme darles la hoja de ruta de este atasco.
Empezamos por la melodía, con Rubén a las castañuelas, que da un toque muy bueno.
Toco la melodía y luego empiezo a tocar solos.
Reproduzco una línea de saxo, mientras Carlos comienza a hacer un solo en el órgano. Mientras él hace esto, hago una parte armónica del primer riff que hice.
Mientras construimos, Ruben cambia a congas.
Después de construir los riffs de saxofón, tomo otro solo. Gran solo, tengo que admitir jajaja. Luego, Carlos hace un solo con el sintetizador, casi suena como un solo de hip-hop.
Después de su solo toco la melodía de nuevo. Tocamos la melodía un par de veces y luego terminamos con el famoso riff de saxofón.

Here I present our version of Chan Chan by Buena Vista Social Club.
Our idea is to play popular songs, and improvise around them.
Sometimes we play the song, sometimes we play an improvisation similar to the song.
This is part of a concert we did in Llano Grande, Colombia. We have Santiago on bass, Ruben on congas and percussion, Carlos on keyboards, and myself on sax, flute, harmonica and beats. Let me explain what we did in this version.
We start pretty simple, simple chords, with congas. I do some improvisation while playing the melody. Then Carlos switches to organ, and solos a bit. Then he switches to a piano sound and keeps soloing. Then I pull out the harmonica and solo on it. A very bluesy solo. Then I go back to the sax, and the band goes toward more of a salsa groove. Both Carlos and I solo at the same time, then I play a repeated riff. Then Carlos solos again, now on electric piano, with delay. Very spacey. Then he chills out and goes back to the chords.
I start to play the melody. I improvise in between playing the melody. Then we start lower the energy, while I repeat the melody. We end on a cadenza.

Empezamos bastante simple, acordes simples, con congas. Hago algo de improvisación mientras toco la melodía. Luego Carlos cambia al órgano y hace solos un poco. Luego cambia a un sonido de piano y sigue haciendo solos. Luego saco la armónica y hago un solo. Un solo muy bluesero. Luego vuelvo al saxo y la banda va hacia un ritmo más salsero. Ambos solistas de Carlos y yo al mismo tiempo, luego toco un riff repetido. Luego Carlos vuelve a hacer solos, ahora en piano eléctrico, con retardo. Muy espacial. Luego se relaja y vuelve a los acordes.
Empiezo a tocar la melodía. Improviso mientras toco la melodía. Luego empezamos a bajar la energía, mientras yo repito la melodía. Terminamos en una cadencia.

Hi!
This jam goes on for a while, because I was able to build it.
I use Ableton Live to create everything, on six instruments. I record each loop with a footpedal. Everything is completely improvised-no two concerts are the same.
I start out with two beats simultaneously, Feijado and Dubstep.
I lay down a bass line very reminiscent of Motown.
Then I lay down the "guitar" parts.
The first one is basically a funk guitar riff. One I have that looped, I add a harmony part to it.
I go to the fender rhodes, and add some jazz chords. Then I add octaves.
I like the way it grooves with the bass. Then I add a little bit of a Wobbly synth, to add more sound.
I bring out the flute and start soloing. First without effects and then I add delay.
I record a looped line on flute, then delete it and record a new one.
Once that line is recorded, I introduce the harmonica.
I go back to the synthesizer to play a lead line, for a minute,
then I solo the loop without drums. I take out the mids just as a DJ would do. While this is going on, I start soloing on saxophone. The saxophone is muted because everything has no mids! Haha.
Then I bring in a new beat, while keeping the same loop, with all the instruments.
The beat grows, and I record a loop with the saxophone.
Finally you can hear the saxophone! I solo over the top of the loops.
I record a new sax loop and erase the old one. After that I move into another jam, which will be another video :)
I hope you enjoy!

Este atasco continúa por un tiempo, porque pude construirlo.
Uso Ableton Live para crear todo, en seis instrumentos. Grabo cada bucle con un pedal. Todo es completamente improvisado, no hay dos conciertos iguales. Empiezo con dos beats a la vez, Feijado y Dubstep.
Puse una línea de bajo que recuerda mucho a Motown.
Luego coloco las partes de "guitarra".
El primero es básicamente un riff de guitarra funk. Uno que tengo en bucle, le agrego una parte de armonía.
Voy a Fender Rhodes y agrego algunos acordes de jazz. Luego agrego octavas.
Me gusta la forma en que se mueve con el bajo. Luego agrego un poco de un sintetizador Wobbly, para agregar más sonido.
Saco la flauta y empiezo a tocar solos. Primero sin efectos y luego añado delay.
Grabo una línea en bucle en la flauta, luego la borro y grabo una nueva.
Una vez grabada esa línea, introduzco la armónica.
Vuelvo al sintetizador para tocar una línea principal, por un minuto,
luego hago un solo del bucle sin batería. Saco los medios como lo haría un DJ. Mientras esto sucede, empiezo a hacer solos de saxofón. ¡El saxofón está silenciado porque todo no tiene medios! Ja ja.
Luego introduzco un nuevo ritmo, manteniendo el mismo bucle, con todos los instrumentos.
El ritmo crece y grabo un bucle con el saxofón.
¡Por fin puedes escuchar el saxofón! Hago un solo sobre la parte superior de los bucles.
Grabo un nuevo bucle de saxofón y borro el antiguo. Después de eso me muevo a otro atasco, que será otro video :)
¡Espero que disfrutes!

Hello!
We are in week 131 with the them of Orgullo Patria, which translates to "Homeland Pride".
I'm originally from Alaska. I grew up in very remote parts of Alaska, only accessible by airplane.
My parents had one cassette tape called Alaska Hit Singles, full of strange songs about Alaska.
I didn't have a lot of connections with the outside world, so I remember all the songs on this cassette tape.
One song stood out in particular, it was called the Polar Bear Stomp.
It was a funk song with a saxophone. So, I've tried to re-create it here.
I had a change a couple of the lyrics, but it is pretty close to the original.
I made the beat with Native Instruments Maschine. I'm playing all the parts on bass, keys, sax, and vocals.
I decided to put it into a four-square video because I thought it looked super cool.
I put the Alaskan flag over the mirror that I usually have, to show my Orgullo Patria ;).
I left my parka in Alaska so I'm using the biggest jacket I have to record this song.
I hope you enjoy!!
Lyrics:
I hates the man
That said all bears go in the woods
Cuz I don't
Rar!!!
Cuz I'm a polar bear
I likes to eat seals
I find seals succulent
I like to suck em down, and then send them out the ice
I like to watch them slide, watch them glide
There ain't no trees where I peas
Uh uh, its a frozen wasteland
My land
If I meet you, I'm gonna eat you
I hates the man, that said all bears go in the woods
Cuz I don't
Rar!
Cuz I'm a polar bear

¡Hola!
Estamos en la semana 131 con el ellos de Orgullo Patria, que se traduce como "Orgullo Patrio".
Soy originario de Alaska. Crecí en partes muy remotas de Alaska, a las que solo se podía acceder por avión.
Mis padres tenían una cinta de casete llamada Alaska Hit Singles, llena de extrañas canciones sobre Alaska.
No tenía muchas conexiones con el mundo exterior, así que recuerdo todas las canciones en esta cinta de casete.
Una canción se destacó en particular, se llamaba Polar Bear Stomp.
Era una canción funk con saxofón. Entonces, he tratado de recrearlo aquí.
Cambié un par de letras, pero es bastante parecida a la original.
Hice el ritmo con Native Instruments Maschine. Estoy tocando todas las partes en el bajo, teclados, saxo y voces.
Decidí ponerlo en un video de cuatro cuadrados porque pensé que se veía genial.
Puse la bandera de Alaska sobre el espejo que suelo tener, para mostrar mi Orgullo Patria ;).
Dejé mi parka en Alaska, así que estoy usando la chaqueta más grande que tengo para grabar esta canción.

Our concept is to take well known songs and improvise around them, sometimes playing part of the song and sometimes not.
This is part of a concert we did in Llano Grande, Colombia.
We have Santiago on bass, Ruben on congas and percussion, Carlos on keyboards, and myself on sax, flute, harmonica and the beats.
I will give a breakdown of what we are doing.
First Santiago starts out, with Ruben accompanying him the triangle. I do a short harmonica solo, partly with delay.
Carlos starts to play the main riff from Something About Us, and I loop the guitar riff on harmonica.
Then I get the flute, and I do the main riff on flute. Then I start to solo on flute.
I put distortion on the flute, so that it kind of sounds like an electric guitar.
Then Santiago starts to sing the lyrics to the song. Ruben switches to maracas.
Carlos sings together with Santiago.
Carlos and I play the opening riff together.
Then Carlos takes off on a solo by myself, using synths.
At the end of Carlos' solo, Ruben drops out and I start to solo on harmonica.
Then Ruben switches to congas. I switch back to flute, for the ending riff.
The band starts to switch to a salsa groove, and I stop the harmonica loop.
Carlos solos and then does repeats the riff.
I put delay on the flute, and we finish. What an adventure!
Please enjoy!

Daré un desglose de lo que estamos haciendo.
Primero sale Santiago, con Rubén acompañándolo el triángulo. Hago un solo de armónica corto, en parte con retraso.
Carlos comienza a tocar el riff principal de Something About Us, y yo hago un loop del riff de guitarra en la armónica.
Luego tomo la flauta y hago el riff principal en la flauta. Entonces empiezo a hacer solos de flauta.
Le puse distorsión a la flauta, para que suene como una guitarra eléctrica.
Entonces Santiago empieza a cantar la letra de la canción. Rubén cambia a maracas.
Carlos canta junto a Santiago.
Carlos y yo tocamos el riff de apertura juntos.
Entonces Carlos se lanza a un solo yo solo, usando sintetizadores.
Al final del solo de Carlos, Rubén se retira y empiezo a hacer un solo de armónica.
Entonces Ruben cambia a congas. Vuelvo a la flauta, para el riff final.
La banda comienza a cambiar a un ritmo de salsa y detengo el bucle de la armónica.
Carlos hace un solo y luego repite el riff.
Le pongo retardo a la flauta y terminamos. ¡Qué aventura!
¡Por favor, disfruta!

This is part of our concert that we performed in Llano Grande, Colombia.
Our idea is to create improvised music in a performance setting.
For our instrumentation we have Santiago on bass, Carlos on keyboards, Ruben on congas and percussion, and myself on sax, flute, harmonica, and controlling the beats. This was the first piece that we played, it is simply an improvisation. Later on we used famous works of music to give the impression of the song, while not actually playing the song as written.
We start out with kind of a reggae groove, and I create a melody over the top of the groove. Carlos is playing piano as well as organ, and Ruben is on shakers. I create a riff and then solo for a while. Then Carlos solos on organ. While he is doing that I get the flute, and create a couple background lines. The flute has a lot of delay, I really like the sound of delay on flute. After I create a solo on flute. Santiago changes the chord progression to create kind of a bridge. Then Carlos solos on piano. While he is doing this, Ruben and I stop playing. Then we both come back, but softly. At this point Ruben switches from Congas to Guiro percussion. I bring back the flute. Carlos goes back to the organ. Then I switch back to the sax. I really like this particular solo, you can hear how I suspend a high note almost as if its feedback coming from a guitar, my influence coming from Jimi Hendrix. During this band, we go back to the bridge that Santiago played before. We slow down, and end together with a cadenza from Carlos on piano.
I hope you enjoy!
Español:
Esto es parte de nuestro concierto que realizamos en Llano Grande, Colombia.
Nuestra idea es crear música improvisada en un entorno de actuación.
Para nuestra instrumentación contamos con Santiago en bajo, Carlos en teclados, Ruben en congas y percusión, y yo en saxo, flauta, armónica y controlando los tiempos. Esta fue la primera pieza que tocamos, es simplemente una improvisación. Más tarde usamos obras musicales famosas para dar la impresión de la canción, sin tocar la canción tal como estaba escrita.
Comenzamos con una especie de ritmo de reggae, y creo una melodía sobre la parte superior del ritmo. Carlos toca el piano además del órgano, y Rubén está nervioso. Creo un riff y luego solo por un tiempo. Luego los solos de Carlos en el órgano. Mientras él hace eso, tomo la flauta y creo un par de líneas de fondo. La flauta tiene mucho delay, me gusta mucho el sonido del delay en la flauta. Después creo un solo de flauta. Santiago cambia la progresión de acordes para crear una especie de puente. Luego solos de Carlos al piano. Mientras él hace esto, Rubén y yo dejamos de jugar. Luego ambos volvemos, pero suavemente. En este punto Rubén cambia de percusión Congas a Guiro. Traigo de vuelta la flauta. Carlos vuelve al órgano. Luego vuelvo al saxo. Me gusta mucho este solo en particular, puedes escuchar cómo suspendo una nota alta casi como si su respuesta viniera de una guitarra, mi influencia viene de Jimi Hendrix. Durante esta banda, volvemos al puente que Santiago tocaba antes. Bajamos la velocidad y terminamos juntos con una cadencia de Carlos al piano.

The looper is controlled with my feet. I'm using Ableton Live for everything.
I'm playing six instruments, everything is improvised.
First I bring in a new track, and improvise on flute.
First without delay, and then I add delay.
It sounds so cool.
Finally I get a loop that I like on flute, and record it with my footpedal.
I record a repeated loop with a synth sound called Wobbly, kind of a delayed sound.
Then I record a lead line over the top of that.
Over the top of this, I bring out the sax.
I improvise with delay coming from the flute mic.
Enjoy!

Hi Hive Open Mic!
We are in week 130, with the theme Creativity and Freestyle. Maybe you have seen some of my other videos, but I wanted to share a little of what I like to do, which is what I like to call Electronic Soul Jazz. I mix electronic beats with six instruments and record it live with a looper. I control everything with a footpedal, and everything is improvised. I’m heavily influenced by soul and house music, as well as many others styles of music.
Let me give you the roadmap of what I am doing in this jam:
I start with a beat I made called Feijado, influenced by a trip to Brazil. I start playing bass until I find something that is funky enough to loop. I find a good groove, then record it with my footpedal.
I hop over to the keyboard and use a Fender Rhodes patch to lay down some jazzy chords.
Then I lay down a funky clavinet line. To complete it I add a lead line. I put a harmony at the end.
Then I go back to the bass to add the “guitar” part. I lay down two different parts that are in harmony with each other.
Then I bring in the flute. I’ve put a massive delay on the flute. I record a line with the flute.
Then I add an original beat called Dubstep, influenced by Dubstep.
I record a new flute line. Then I record a quick harmonica part. The delay is still present.
Then I add a rap to be repeated. “What? Coming on the scene, I’m not trying to be mean, I’m trying to be real.”
Then I get the saxophone. At first the sax floats over top of everything else. I improvise a solo over the beat I have created.
Then I add a repeated sax line to be looped.
Once this done I continue soloing over the loop, until the end.
I hope you like it!
Espanol:
Hola Hive Open Mic!
Estamos en la semana 130, con el tema Creatividad y Freestyle. Tal vez hayas visto algunos de mis otros videos, pero quería compartir un poco de lo que me gusta hacer, que es lo que me gusta llamar Electronic Soul Jazz. Mezclo ritmos electrónicos con seis instrumentos y los grabo en vivo con un looper. Controlo todo con un pedal, y todo es improvisado. Estoy fuertemente influenciado por la música soul y house, así como por muchos otros estilos de música.
Déjame darte la hoja de ruta de lo que estoy haciendo en este atasco:
Comienzo con un beat que hice llamado Feijado, influenciado por un viaje a Brasil. Comienzo a tocar el bajo hasta que encuentro algo que es lo suficientemente original como para hacer un loop. Encuentro un buen ritmo, luego lo grabo con mi pedal.
Salto al teclado y uso un parche Fender Rhodes para establecer algunos acordes de jazz.
Luego puse una línea funky de clavinet. Para completarlo, agrego una línea principal. Puse una armonía al final.
Luego vuelvo al bajo para agregar la parte de “guitarra”. Coloco dos partes diferentes que están en armonía entre sí.
Entonces traigo la flauta. He puesto un gran retraso en la flauta. Grabo una línea con la flauta.
Luego agrego un ritmo original llamado Dubstep, influenciado por Dubstep.
Recordé una nueva línea de flauta. Luego grabé una parte rápida de armónica. El retraso sigue presente.
Luego añado un rap para que se repita. "¿Qué? Entrando en escena, no estoy tratando de ser malo, estoy tratando de ser real".
Luego cojo el saxofón. Al principio, el saxo flota por encima de todo lo demás. Improviso justo sobre el ritmo que he creado.
Luego agrego una línea de saxofón repetida para que se reproduzca en bucle.
Una vez hecho esto, sigo haciendo solos en el bucle, hasta el final.
¡Espero que te guste!

I really like this one, it turned out great. Let me give you the breakdown.
Ableton Live is my platform, I control the looping by recording it with a footpedal while I play.
Everything is improvised, nothing is planned.
I start out with the bass. The track is sort of an Afrobeat groove,
so I create a sick bass line. Over top of that, I record the "guitar" part.
Then I record a second "guitar" part an octave up.
Then I switch to the keyboard. I'm using a Fender Rhodes sound, one of my favorites.
I lay down a rhythmic pattern that changes chords.
Then I lay down a lead line, over top of the whole thing.
Then enters the sax. First there is heavy delay. I turn it off and get a straight sound.
First I improvise with the sax, creating some floating melodies.
Then I record a sax line, very reminiscent of James Brown, and his sax player Maceo Parker.
I record multiple parts so that the sax is in harmony with itself.
Then I continue soloing, just going with the groove.
Eventually a change to a beat with less motion and keep soloing.
At the end I add a beat with more movement, and fade out.
Enjoy!
Español:
Me gusta mucho este, quedó genial. Déjame darte el desglose.
Ableton Live es mi plataforma, controlo el bucle grabándolo con un pedal mientras juego.
Todo se improvisa, nada se planifica.
Empiezo con el bajo. La pista es una especie de ritmo Afrobeat,
así que creo una línea de bajo enferma. Además de eso, grabo la parte de "guitarra".
Luego grabo una segunda parte de "guitarra" una octava arriba.
Luego cambio al teclado. Estoy usando un sonido Fender Rhodes, uno de mis favoritos.
Establezco un patrón rítmico que cambia de acordes.
Luego coloco una línea de plomo, encima de todo.
Luego entra el saxo. Primero hay un gran retraso. Lo apago y obtengo un sonido directo.
Primero improviso con el saxo, creando unas melodías flotantes.
Luego grabo una línea de saxo, que recuerda mucho a James Brown, y su saxofonista Maceo Parker.
Grabo múltiples partes para que el saxo esté en armonía consigo mismo.
Luego continúo haciendo solos, siguiendo el ritmo.
Eventualmente, cambie a un ritmo con menos movimiento y siga tocando solos.
Al final agrego un tiempo con más movimiento y desvanezco.
¡Disfrutar!

I'll give you a breakdown of what I'm doing.
Like always, I'm using Ableton Live for everything and using a footpedal to control the looping.
I play six instruments, and the loop pedal controls this.
Everything is completely improvised.
I start out with a different beat but change it around to make it more chill.
I start with the bass line, it takes a sec because the track gets off, so I correct it.
This happens sometimes. Even though I have through every track systemically and programmed every single beat.
Then I add a repeated synth line called Duck Lead. Then I add another melody.
Then I add a rhythmic pattern with the Fender Rhodes sound on the keyboard.
After I've done that, I add a sound called Wobbly which is kind of a wahed sustained keyboard.
Then I add the flute. I've put some massive delay on the flute, which creates the sound that you hear.
I do some improvised soloing on flute, then I record a repeated line.
Enjoy!
Español:
Te daré un desglose de lo que estoy haciendo.
Como siempre, uso Ableton Live para todo y uso un pedal para controlar el bucle.
Toco seis instrumentos y el pedal de loop controla esto.
Todo es completamente improvisado.
Comienzo con un ritmo diferente, pero lo cambio para hacerlo más relajado.
Comienzo con la línea de bajo, tarda un segundo porque la pista se sale, así que lo corrijo.
Esto sucede a veces. A pesar de que he recorrido todas las pistas sistemáticamente y he programado cada latido.
Luego agrego una línea de sintetizador repetida llamada Duck Lead. Luego agrego otra melodía.
Luego agrego un patrón rítmico con el sonido Fender Rhodes en el teclado.
Después de hacer eso, agrego un sonido llamado Wobbly que es una especie de teclado sostenido wahed.
Luego agrego la flauta. He puesto un retraso masivo en la flauta, lo que crea el sonido que escuchas.
Hago algunos solos de flauta improvisados, luego grabo una línea repetida.

Hi!
I'll give you a breakdown of today's jam. Everything is completely improvised, I use I Ableton Live for everything and use a footpedal to record with the looper.
I play six instruments: sax, bass, keys, flute, harmonic, and voice.
First I start out with an original beat which I made on Native Instruments Maschine, which I call
I Love the Maschine, hahahaha. I quickly add a bass line, which is very similar
to the bass line from Jimi Hendrix's Foxy Lady. I record it with the pedal on the floor.
Then I add a funk "guitar" line on the high range of the bass using the same method.
then I pop over to the clavinet and lay down a funky keys line.
Then I add a rhythmic flute part, with a slight delay.
Then enters the sax. The sax is like the lead singer. There is a little delay on the sax because the flute mic is picking it up.
It is just a straight improv solo. Then I add a sax riff. Then I add a harmony part to sax riff.
So the saxes are in harmony with themselves haha.
Then I add a vocal riff. Just a little hip-hop "what what what what"
that loops over the top.
Enjoy!
Espanol:
¡Hola!
Te daré un desglose de la mermelada de hoy. Todo es completamente improvisado, uso I Ableton Live para todo y uso un pedal para grabar con el looper.
Toco seis instrumentos: saxo, bajo, teclado, flauta, armónica y voz.
Primero empiezo con un ritmo original que hice en Native Instruments Maschine, al que llamo
Me encanta la Maschine, jajajaja. Rápidamente añado una línea de bajo, que es muy similar
a la línea de bajo de Foxy Lady de Jimi Hendrix. Lo grabo con el pedal en el suelo.
Luego agrego una línea de "guitarra" funk en el rango alto del bajo usando el mismo método.
luego me acerco al clavinet y pongo una línea de teclado funky.
Luego añado una parte rítmica de flauta, con un ligero retraso.
Luego entra el saxo. El saxo es como el cantante principal. Hay un pequeño retraso en el saxofón porque el micrófono de la flauta lo capta.
Es solo un solo de improvisación. Luego agrego un riff de saxo. Luego agrego una parte de armonía al riff de saxofón.
Así que los saxos están en armonía consigo mismos jaja.
Luego agrego un riff vocal. Sólo un poco de hip-hop "qué qué qué qué"
que se enrolla sobre la parte superior.
¡Disfrutar!

English:
This is my cover of Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes.
This idea first came to me in a jam session. I had never played this before, but I was amazed at how good it sounded.
The saxophone takes a different spin on it. It doubles as the guitar and the voice.
It also sounds super edgy and works with the rock vibe, but adds almost a free jazz atmosphere.
I was super obsessed with Jimi Hendrix growing up, he was one of my biggest influences.
As such I'm always looking for an opportunity to play rock on the saxophone :)
In my version I play with the melody a bit, and improvise different lines.
I filmed and recorded the bass first, and then I filmed and recorded the sax.
I thought the background was super cool with the mirror.
I was able to do a split effect where it looks "we" are sitting on the same couch.
Here is the original video to check out:

Esta es mi portada de Seven Nation Army de White Stripes.
Esta idea se me ocurrió por primera vez en una jam session. Nunca había tocado esto antes, pero me sorprendió lo bien que sonaba.
El saxofón le da un giro diferente. Se dobla como la guitarra y la voz.
También suena súper nervioso y funciona con el ambiente rock, pero agrega casi una atmósfera de jazz libre.
Estaba súper obsesionado con Jimi Hendrix mientras crecía, fue una de mis mayores influencias.
Como tal, siempre estoy buscando una oportunidad para tocar rock en el saxofón :)
En mi versión juego un poco con la melodía e improviso diferentes líneas.
Primero filmé y grabé el bajo, y luego filmé y grabé el saxo.
Pensé que el fondo era genial con el espejo.
Pude hacer un efecto dividido donde parece que "nosotros" estamos sentados en el mismo sofá.

Hi Hive Open Mic week 128! This is my first time posting in this community.
Following the theme of heartbreak, Desamor, I chose Ordinary People by John Legend.
It is a song that talks about how we are just Ordinary People, and don't know which way to go. I can relate this to this weeks theme. Sometimes bad things happen that we don't like, and we get our hearts broken, but its important to remember that we are ordinary regular people, no matter who we are, who get hurt but also make mistakes.
This a saxophone cover, I used three cameras to film it.
I hope you enjoy it!
Español:
Hola Hive Open Mic semana 128! Esta es la primera vez que publico en esta comunidad.
Siguiendo el tema del desamor, Desamor, elegí Gente corriente de John Legend.
Es una canción que habla de cómo somos gente común y corriente, y no sabemos qué camino tomar. Puedo relacionar esto con el tema de esta semana. A veces suceden cosas malas que no nos gustan y nos rompen el corazón, pero es importante recordar que somos personas comunes y corrientes, sin importar quiénes seamos, que nos lastimamos pero también cometemos errores.
Este es un cover de saxofón, usé tres cámaras para filmarlo.
¡Espero que lo disfruten!
Lyrics/Letras:
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Girl I'm in love with you
This ain't the honeymoon
We're passed the infatuation phase
We're right in the thick of love
At times we get sick of love
It seems like we argue every day
I know I misbehaved
And you made your mistakes
And we both still got room left to grow
And though love sometimes hurts
I still put you first
And we'll make this thing work
But I think we should take it slow
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
'Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow
Take it slow, oh-oh
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow, oh-oh
This time we'll take it slow
This ain't a movie no
No fairy tale conclusion ya'll
It gets more confusing everyday, oh
Sometimes it's heaven sent
Then we head back to hell again
We kiss, then we make up on the way
I hang up you call
We rise and we fall
And we feel like just walking away
As our love advances
We take second chances
Though it's not a fantasy
I still want you to stay
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
'Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow
Take it slow, oh-oh
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow, oh-oh
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow
Maybe we'll live and learn
Maybe we'll crash and burn
Maybe you'll stay
Maybe you'll leave
Maybe you'll return
Maybe another fight
Maybe we won't survive
But maybe we'll grow
We never know, baby you and I
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go, yeah, hey
'Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
'Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow
Take it slow, oh-oh
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow, oh-oh
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow, slow
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow, oh
This time we'll take it slow

English:
This is completely improvised, controlled with a pedal by my feet.
I play six instruments: sax, bass, keys, flute, harmonica, and voice.
It's kind of like a DJ remix, except that I use live instruments.
A mix between electronic, soul/funk/hip-hop, and jazz. I use Ableton Live for everything.
I'll give you a breakdown so you can understand what I'm doing in case it doesn't make sense:
First I bring in the track. Then I cut out the midrange using the mixer. I started playing bass and came up with a bass line. Once I get a good one, I record it with my feet. Then I loop another more "guitar" part, and then record it as well. So there is a bass part, a second bass part, and two "guitar" parts recorded on the bass. Once everything is recorded I switch to the keyboard. I use the clavinet first. I record a rhythmic clavinet part, then I add a synth melody over top with a different sound.
Then I switch to flute. I have a lot of delay on the flute to give it a "spacey" sound. I play short parts and let the delay continue. Once that is recorded, I pick up the harmonica. The delay is still on first, but then I turn it off to get a more blues harmonica solo. I don't use the sax on this particular recording, but sax is my first instrument.
Español:
Esto es completamente improvisado, controlado con un pedal por mis pies.
Toco seis instrumentos: saxo, bajo, teclado, flauta, armónica y voz.
Es como un remix de DJ, excepto que uso instrumentos en vivo.
Una mezcla entre electrónica, soul/funk/hip-hop y jazz. Uso Ableton Live para todo.
Te daré un desglose para que puedas entender lo que estoy haciendo en caso de que no tenga sentido:
Primero traigo la pista. Luego corté el rango medio usando el mezclador. Empecé a tocar el bajo y se me ocurrió una línea de bajo. Una vez que consigo uno bueno, lo grabo con mis pies. Luego hago un bucle de otra parte más de "guitarra", y luego la grabo también. Así que hay una parte de bajo, una segunda parte de bajo y dos partes de "guitarra" grabadas en el bajo. Una vez que todo está grabado, cambio al teclado. Primero uso el clavinet. Grabo una parte rítmica de clavinet, luego agrego una melodía de sintetizador encima con un sonido diferente.
Luego cambio a flauta. Tengo mucho retraso en la flauta para darle un sonido "espacial". Toco partes cortas y dejo que la demora continúe. Una vez que se graba, tomo la armónica. El retardo sigue activo primero, pero luego lo apago para obtener un solo de armónica más blues. No uso el saxofón en esta grabación en particular, pero el saxofón es mi primer instrumento.

I wanted to give you a breakdown of exactly what I am doing in this video, in order, so you can understand.
First off I started with a house track. I then pick up the bass to lay down a bass line.
Once I have something I like I press record with my feet with a pedal that is on the floor.
Once the bass line is recorded, I use the bass to record the "guitar part" by using the upper range of the bass to create chords.
This falls over one of the first drops in the house track.
I then go to the keyboard and add a sound called Wobbly. It is kind of a wah-wah sound with a long delay.
Then I add a synth line with a patch called Duck. These are both recorded with my footpedal.
I usually play it a couple times, and then I press record once I like it.
Then I pick up the sax and create an improvised solo. The sax is on a different track from the lop pedal.
But, a different mic picks up the sax as well, which is why it has a little bit of delay.
This mic is connected to the loop pedal. So I record a looped idea with the sax, and then continue soloing.
I add one of my own drum beats that I make in Native Instruments Maschine, now that the house track has ended.
I continue to improvise on the sax.
All house and drum tracks are syncronized so that they play together. I did this by programming each track.
Enjoy!
I will upload more later.
Espanol:
Quería darte un desglose de lo que estoy haciendo exactamente en este video, en orden, para que puedas entender.
Primero comencé con una pista de house. Luego tomo el bajo para establecer una línea de bajo.
Una vez que tengo algo que me gusta presiono grabar con mis pies con un pedal que está en el piso.
Una vez que se graba la línea de bajo, uso el bajo para grabar la "parte de guitarra" usando el rango superior del bajo para crear acordes.
Esto cae sobre una de las primeras caídas en la pista de la casa.
Luego voy al teclado y agrego un sonido llamado Wobbly. Es una especie de sonido wah-wah con un largo retraso.
Luego agrego una línea de sintetizador con un parche llamado Duck. Ambos están grabados con mi pedal.
Por lo general, lo reproduzco un par de veces y luego presiono grabar una vez que me gusta.
Luego tomo el saxo y creo un solo improvisado. El saxo está en una pista diferente del pedal lop.
Pero, un micrófono diferente también capta el saxo, por lo que tiene un poco de retraso.
Este micrófono está conectado al pedal de bucle. Así que grabo una idea en bucle con el saxo y luego continúo con el solo.
Agrego uno de mis propios ritmos de batería que hago en Native Instruments Maschine, ahora que la pista de la casa ha terminado.
Sigo improvisando con el saxo.
Todas las pistas de house y batería están sincronizadas para que suenen juntas. Hice esto programando cada pista.
¡Disfrutar!
Subiré más más tarde.

I first heard this song in the movie 50 Shades of Grey.
Anyone who has seen that movie knows how sensual that movie is. It's a movie about sex, and S&M. This theme stood out to me.
I've also been a fan of The Weeknd, He creates so many different styles with his music.
I saw Florencio Cruz's saxophone cover of Earned It, and I wanted to try my own version.
I used three cameras to film this video. I filmed it in the bedroom of my apartment. I used a red light as the background lighting, as well as sunlight. Two of the cameras are more direct, and the third one creates kind of a side angle. I like the third camera because it adds to the atmosphere of the video. I'm barefoot for this video, shoes are for sissies :)
I like the mirror in the background, it gives an introspective approach to the video. The plants as well add a nice touch.
I put reverb and a little bit of delay on the sax. I really hope you enjoy it! This is my attempt at a cover of Earned It by the Weeknd.
Espanol:

Cualquiera que haya visto esa película sabe lo sensual que es esa película. Es una película sobre sexo y S&M. Este tema me llamó la atención.
También he sido fan de The Weeknd, crea tantos estilos diferentes con su música.
Vi el cover de saxofón de Florencio Cruz de Earned It, y quise probar mi propia versión.
Usé tres cámaras para filmar este video. Lo filmé en el dormitorio de mi apartamento. Usé una luz roja como iluminación de fondo, así como la luz del sol. Dos de las cámaras son más directas y la tercera crea una especie de ángulo lateral. Me gusta la tercera cámara porque se suma a la atmósfera del video. Estoy descalza para este video, los zapatos son para mariquitas :)
Me gusta el espejo de fondo, le da un enfoque introspectivo al video. Las plantas también le dan un toque agradable.
Puse reverb y un poco de delay en el saxo. ¡Realmente espero que lo disfrutes! Este es mi intento de una versión de Earned It by the Weeknd.
Lyrics:
You make it look like it's magic
'Cause I see nobody, nobody but you, you, you
I'm never confused
Hey, hey
I'm so used to being used
So I love when you call unexpected
'Cause I hate when the moment's expected
So I'ma care for you, you, you
I'ma care for you, you, you, you, yeah
'Cause girl you're perfect
You're always worth it
And you deserve it
The way you work it
'Cause girl you earned it
Girl you earned it, yeah
You know our love would be tragic (Oh, yeah)
So you don't pay it, don't pay it no mind
We live with no lies
Hey, hey
You're my favorite kind of night
So I love when you call unexpected
'Cause I hate when the moment's expected
So I'ma care for you, you, you
I'ma care for you, you, you, you, yeah
'Cause girl you're perfect (Girl, you're perfect)
You're always worth it (You're always worth it)
And you deserve it (And you deserve it)
The way you work it (The way you work it)
'Cause girl you earned it
Girl you earned it, yeah
On that lonely night (Lonely night)
You said it wouldn't be love
But we felt the rush
It made us believe it there was only us (Only us)
Convinced we were broken inside, yeah, inside, yeah
'Cause girl you're perfect (Girl, you're perfect)
You're always worth it (You're always worth it)
And you deserve it (And you deserve it)
The way you work it (The way you work it)
'Cause girl you earned it, yeah
Girl you earned it, yeah (Earned it, no, no, ooh)
'Cause girl you're perfect
You're always worth it
And you deserve it

This is free-form improvisation with a beat. I have been experimenting with this concept for a number of years.
I was fascinated by the combination of "real" instruments with electronic music. I first went to play with a DJ and improvised over all his tracks, and it worked well.
This gave me the idea. Since I play so many instruments, I incorporated them.
My idea is to play whatever comes. House music is about creating energy. Jazz, is also, about creating energy.
I draw heavily on influences from soul and funk music, combining them with electronic beats.
Some of these are my own, some are sampled like a DJ. The tracks/beats are programmed in Ableton Live like a grid. But the instruments themselves are all played by me.
I record with a looper at my feet. I try to feel the mood, to figure out the next thing I should do. I particularly like the background for this video, It has a psychedelic appeal to it. The mirror creates a thoughtful vibe, while the plants create the natural connection. The blue couch reminds me of a psychedelic sixties party, or maybe something Prince would do :) Enjoy!
Esta es una improvisación de forma libre con un ritmo. He estado experimentando con este concepto durante varios años.
Me fascinó la combinación de instrumentos "reales" con música electrónica. Primero fui a tocar con un DJ e improvisé sobre todas sus pistas, y funcionó bien.
Esto me dio la idea. Como toco tantos instrumentos, los incorporé.
Mi idea es jugar a lo que venga. La música house se trata de crear energía. El jazz también se trata de crear energía.
Me baso mucho en las influencias de la música soul y funk, combinándolas con ritmos electrónicos.
Algunos de estos son míos, algunos están muestreados como un DJ. Las pistas/ritmos se programan en Ableton Live como una cuadrícula. Pero los instrumentos en sí son todos tocados por mí.
Grabo con un looper a mis pies. Trato de sentir el estado de ánimo, de averiguar lo siguiente que debo hacer. Me gusta especialmente el fondo de este video, tiene un atractivo psicodélico. El espejo crea un ambiente reflexivo, mientras que las plantas crean la conexión natural. El sofá azul me recuerda a una fiesta psicodélica de los años sesenta, o tal vez algo que Prince haría :) ¡Disfrútalo!

I filmed this in my using an iPhone 12, a GoPro Hero 8, and a Canon Vixia HF G40. They are placed at opposite sides to get a "stereo" effect. It looks kind of like a mirror effect.
I am running Ableton Live 11. In Ableton all tracks are synced to the grid, they are the same tempo. Then I figured all the keys for each song so it's written down.
I use a mix between house tracks and original beats that I make with Native Instruments Maschine.
These run together, then I use the built-in looper with Ableton. I control it with a Keith McMillen footpedal on the floor that allows me to record, overdub, play, stop, erase. In Ableton I have 5 tracks, drums, beat, house tracks, looper, and sax.
The bass, keyboard and microphone run into a sub mixer. I control the individual volume there. Then I run it out to my interface, an Apogee Duet.
The sax has a wireless Shure microphone, the receiver is plugged in directly to interface. The microphone works for flute, harmonica, and vocals. I sometimes use delay or other effects on the microphone. This is the structure, and then everything that comes out is completely improvised. It is a different show every time. I never repeat the same jam twice. Enjoy!
Filmé esto usando un iPhone 12, una GoPro Hero 8 y una Canon Vixia HF G40. Se colocan en lados opuestos para conseguir un efecto "estéreo". Parece una especie de efecto espejo.
Estoy ejecutando Ableton Live 11. En Ableton, todas las pistas están sincronizadas con la cuadrícula, tienen el mismo tempo. Luego calculé todas las claves de cada canción para que quedaran escritas.
Utilizo una mezcla entre pistas house y beats originales que hago con Native Instruments Maschine.
Estos se ejecutan juntos, luego uso el looper incorporado con Ableton. Lo controlo con un pedal de Keith McMillen en el piso que me permite grabar, sobregrabar, reproducir, detener, borrar. En Ableton tengo 5 pistas, batería, ritmo, pistas house, looper y saxo.
El bajo, el teclado y el micrófono van a parar a un submezclador. Controlo el volumen individual allí. Luego lo ejecuto en mi interfaz, un Apogee Duet.
El saxo tiene un micrófono inalámbrico Shure, el receptor se conecta directamente a la interfaz. El micrófono funciona para flauta, armónica y voz. A veces uso delay u otros efectos en el micrófono. Esta es la estructura, y luego todo lo que sale es completamente improvisado. Es un espectáculo diferente cada vez. Nunca repito la misma jam dos veces. ¡Disfruta!

This is my own slide creation. The joke is that this is how I pay for travelling around the world.
Everywhere I went in the world, I took pictures of signs. Any type of weird of funny sign, it went in my sign collection.
Anything from Cheap Divorce, to Genuine Fake Watches, and everything in between.
I even included a sign of me from Antarctica.
I put it to the tune of Yakety Sax.
I hope you are able view the signs, and that you enjoy it!

So I had a pop show, but if it's a saxophone show, isn't it wierd that there is no jazz?
I had heard Tito Puente's version of Take Five, and I was absolutely entralled with it.
I was also a little worried about introducing jazz in a pop show.
The joke about Lucas not liking jazz is a lie, he loves jazz : )
I really liked this version, and it allowed people to dance a bit.
Take Five is in 5/4 time, but Tito Puente's version is solidly in 4, allowing people to dance salsa freely.

I really did raise emus. They have no fear of people. My family used to send me out by myself, because they were scared to feed the emus.
I had a few dangerous situations with the emus. But, they were also super fun. And when they wanted to be friendly, they were friendly. They loved to be sprayed with water. There were many other unusual things about them. They laid their eggs in the winter time, because they from Australia. The female emu is the dominant one-she is larger and more agressive.
The story about lassoing the emus is absolutely true. We had a neighbor that lived down the road who was a cowboy.
We called him up when the emus got out, and he rode down on his horse and lassoed them.
It's true I did have a lot of time on my hands in that place, and I learned a bunch of instruments.
This medley combines a couple different songs. First Mustang Sally, but with a different keyboard arrangement-something I came up with. Then we switched to Money-That's What I Want. Finally we finish with James Brown's I Feel Good.
I sing, play keys, and do the sax riff. But the keyboard has a job for this show. At the end of the medley, his job is to put the parka on top of me, the same way James Brown used to used to cape.
Please enjoy this medley!

This Spooky, originally by Buffalo Springfield, from the '60's.
We are doing an arrangement that is basically a copy of an arrangement by the sax player David Sanborn.
David Sanborn has been a HUGE influence on me.
When someone would ask me who my favorite musician is, I would say, I can't give you just one, but if you put a gun to my head, I would David Sanborn, The Beatles, and Jimi Hendrix.
David Sanborn inspired me so much. I didn't originally like the saxophone, I wanted to play an instrument that was "cool". But then I heard David Sanborn. His ability to play sooo smooth but also get sooo raunchy and dirty really inspired to do a similar thing. And as far as tone is concerned, I really have tried to copy David Sanborn.
I'll attach the lyrics, even though this version is designed without lyrics.
Lyrics:
In the cool of the evening
When everything is getting kind of groovy
You call me up and ask me
Would I like to go with you and see a movie?
First I say no, I've got some plans for tonight
And then I stop and say all right
Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little boy like you
You always keep me guessing
I never seem to know what you are thinking
And if a girl looks at you
It's for sure your little eye will be a-winking
I get confused, I never know where I stand
And then you smile and hold my hand
Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little boy like you
Spooky
If you decide some day to stop this little game that you are a-playing
I'm gonna tell you all the things my heart's been a-dying to be saying
Just like a ghost you've been a-haunting my dreams
But now I know you're not what you seem
Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little boy like you
Spooky
Ahh, ahh, spooky, mmm, spooky, ahh, ahh, ahh, spooky, ooh, spooky
Ahh, aah, aah, spooky

Santana's Smooth. Really this is a lift, we haven't really changed the arrangement except to put a sax on lead.
This was one of the opening songs from my show Just Sax.
I hope you enjoy!
I've attached the lyrics in case you want to follow them.
Lyrics:
Man, it's a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
Well, I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone
But you stay so cool
My muñequita, my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa
You're my reason for reason
The step in my groove
And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Because you're so smooth
And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Oh, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it
But I'll tell you one thing
If you would leave it'd be a crying shame
In every breath and every word
I hear your name calling me out
Out from the barrio
You hear my rhythm on your radio
You feel the turning of the world, so soft and slow
It's turning you round and round
And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Because you're so smooth
Well, and it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it
Well, and it's just like the ocean under the moon
Oh, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it
Or else forget about it
Or else forget about it
Oh, let's don't forget about it
Give me your heart, make it real
Let's don't forget about it (hey)
Let's don't forget about it (now, oh, now, oh)
Let's don't forget about it (now, now, now, oh)
Let's don't forget about it (hey, now, now, oh)
Let's don't forget about it (hey, hey, hey)

This is absolutely one of my favorite modern pop songs.
I love the lyrics. They are so sad, but honest. I think these types of situations are so common these days.
Communication is the key, for almost everything.
This is an instrumental version, but I've attached the lyrics, because the lyrics are really great. This was performed at the Ritmo y Sabor restaurant.
Lyrics:
We don't talk anymore
We don't talk anymore
We don't talk anymore
Like we used to do
We don't love anymore
What was all of it for?
Oh, we don't talk anymore
Like we used to do
I just heard you found the one you've been looking
You've been looking for
I wish I would have known that wasn't me
'Cause even after all this time, I still wonder
Why I can't move on
Just the way you did so easily
Don't wanna know
Kind of dress you're wearing tonight
If he's holding onto you so tight
The way I did before
I overdosed
Should've known your love was a game
Now I can't get you out of my brain
Oh, it's such a shame
That we don't talk anymore
We don't talk anymore
We don't talk anymore
Like we used to do
We don't love anymore
What was all of it for?
Oh, we don't talk anymore
Like we used to do
I just hope you're lying next to somebody
Who knows how to love you like me
There must be a good reason that you're gone
Every now and then I think you might want me to
Come show up at your door
But I'm just too afraid that I'll be wrong
Don't wanna know
If you're looking into her eyes
If she's holding onto you so tight
The way I did before
I overdosed
Should've known your love was a game
Now I can't get you out of my brain
Oh, it's such a shame
That we don't talk anymore
We don't talk anymore
We don't talk anymore
Like we used to do
We don't love anymore
What was all of it for?
Oh, we don't talk anymore
Like we used to do
Like we used to do
Don't wanna know
Kind of dress you're wearing tonight
If he's giving it to you just right
The way I did before
I overdosed
Should've known your love was a game
Now I can't get you out of my brain
Oh, it's such a shame
That we don't talk anymore
We don't talk anymore
We don't talk anymore
Like we used to do
We don't love anymore
What was all of it for?
Oh, we don't talk anymore
Like we used to do
We don't talk anymore (don't wanna know)
Kind of dress you're wearing tonight (oh)
If he's holding onto you so tight (oh)
The way I did before
We don't talk anymore (I overdosed)
Should've known your love was a game (oh)
Now I can't get you out of my brain (whoa)
Oh, it's such a shame
That we don't talk anymore

This is what I finished my show, Just Sax, with. It's a classic groovy dance song.
Stevie Wonder's Superstition. Following continously in the idea to make a show of gritty rock pop sax.
This is a jam song, but I've attached the lyrics anyways.
Lyrics:
Very superstitious,
Writing's on the wall,
Very superstitious,
Ladders bout' to fall,
Thirteen month old baby,
Broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck,
The good things in your past
When you believe in things
That you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition aint the way
Hey
Very superstitious,
Wash your face and hands,
Rid me of the problem,
Do all that you can,
Keep me in a daydream,
Keep me goin' strong,
You don't wanna save me,
Sad is the soul
When you believe in things
That you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain't the way,
Yeh, yeh
Very superstitious,
Nothin' more to say,
Very superstitious,
The devil's on his way,
Thirteen month old baby,
Broke the lookin' glass,
Seven years of bad luck,
Good things in your past
When you believe in things
That you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain't the way,
No, no, no

The Classic Luis Miguel. I knew who Luis Miguel was, but I really knew almost none of his music.
That was until I went to live in Mexico.
I got a gig during the pandemic, in a hotel in the middle of nowhere.
I played for no one, in between the waves and the jungle.
I lived in a cabana, making friends with mosquitos and geckos.
This was where I learned much of my Mexican repetoire.
They told me Somos Novios was one of the songs I absolultely MUST learn.
Along with a few others.
So here it is, live from Ritmo y Sabor.
There are no lyrics but I've put the lyrics just in case you'd like them.
Lyrics:
Somos novios
Pues, los dos sentimos mutuo amor profundo
Y con eso
Ya ganamos lo más grande de este mundo
Nos amamos, nos besamos
Como novios, nos deseamos
Y hasta, a veces, sin motivo
Y sin razón, nos enojamos
Somos novios
Mantenemos un cariño limpio y puro
Como todos
Procuramos el momento más obscuro
Para hablarnos
Para darnos el más dulce de los besos
Recordar de qué color son los cerezos
Sin hacer más comentarios, somos novios
Para hablarnos
Para darnos el más dulce de los besos
Recordar de qué color son los cerezos
Sin hacer más comentarios, somos novios
Siempre novios, eh, eh y eh

This is the opening to my show, a Public Saxophone and Other Bedtime Stories.
I heard David's Guetta's The Rain which has a sickkkkk sax solo and intro at the top.
So I decided to use that as my intro. Entering from back of the house,
in a dinner theatre Supper Club. After that, it's just straight Tequila, no chaser.
The classic that we all love.

Titanium, by David Guetta and Sia.
I love this version with just piano, it really speaks to me the kind of emotional aspect that we can have.
This was filmed in the Ritmo y Sabor restaurant.
There are no lyrics, but I've attached the lyrics as well.
Lyrics:
You shout it out
But I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud not saying much
I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet
You shot me down, but I get up
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
Shot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
Shot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
Cut me down
But it's you who'll have further to fall
Ghost town, haunted love
Raise your voice, but sticks and stones may break my bones
I'm talking loud not saying much
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, take your aim
Fire away, fire away
Shot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
Shot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium
I am titanium
Stone-hard, machine gun
Firing at the ones who run
Stone-hard as bulletproof vest
You shot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
Shot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
Shot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
Shot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium

This story is also true.
I was in Victoria, Canada on the cruise ship, and they changed the back on board time after I got off the ship.
I had to take a bus, a ferry, another bus, and arrive to Vancouver, Canada in time to make the ship.
I had to make the ship because the next port was Los Angeles.
Usually people get fired for this, but in my case I became a living legend but I was the only person that missed the ship and didn't get fired :)
But it was quite exciting to run around Canada in the middle of the night without a passport trying to catch a cruise ship.
I chose Tico Tico as the soundtrack for this story because it sounds a little frantic, kind of like my experience.

This is Ordinary People by John Legend.
The first time I heard this song, it incredibly moved me.
As humans, we are really just all ordinary people, we don't know which way to go.
We are confused, in this hour of world confusion, it speaks worlds to me.
We need to have compassion for one another, and realize that we do our best, but at the end of the day we are human.
We make mistakes, and we are emotional.
I heard this as a saxophone version, and I thought it was great.
I decided I wanted to play it.
Please enjoy.
Here are the lyrics as well.
Lyrics:
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 1]
Girl, I'm in love with you
But this ain't the honeymoon
We're passed the infatuation phase
We're right in the thick of love
At times we get sick of love
It seems like we argue every day
I know I misbehaved
And you've made your mistakes
And we both still got room left to grow
And though love sometimes hurts
I still put you first
And we'll make this thing work
But I think we should take it slow
[Chorus]
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
'Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow
Take it slow, oh-oh, this time we'll take it slow
Take it slow, oh-oh, this time we'll take it slow
[Verse 2]
This ain't a movie, no
No fairytale conclusion, y'all
It gets more confusin' every day, oh
Sometimes it's Heaven sent
Then we head back to Hell again
We kiss, then we make up on the way
I hang up, you call
We rise and we fall
And we feel like just walkin' away
As our love advances
We take second chances
Though it's not a fantasy
I still want you to stay
[Chorus]
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
'Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow
Take it slow, oh-oh, this time we'll take it slow
Take it slow, oh-oh, yeah, this time we'll take it slow
Take it slow

This is a jam that I created over Bruno Mars' Perm.
I added the beat from Michael Jackson's Billie Jean, and then the other instruments are looped over top.
I wanted to create a "live remix" which is kind of exactly what I have done.
Intended to be a little more popular than the standard house groove.
Here's the lyrics in case you want to follow along.
Lyrics:
Man, look at you, been walking in here
Looking all pretty and angry and mean and good (haha)
Now I know you didn't get your hair done
So you could just sit down and just sit still
Hey, we tryna have a good time tonight, let's go baby!
It's my birthday
(No, it's not)
But I still look good though
(Hot comb hot)
I bet you want an autograph
For you and your friends
Gotta do it in the penthouse
That's where I keep my pen
What you can't dance, ain't got rhythm?
What you got a man? I don't see you with him
Put your phone down, let's get it
Forget your Instagram and your Twitter
Got me like whoa, wait a minute
You need to take a minute
Loosen them shoulders up
Pour it up, let's work
Throw some perm on your attitude
Girl, you gotta relax (ooh)
Let me show you what you got to do
You gotta lay it back
Matter of fact, band, show her how to lay it back!
Show her how to lay it back
Show her how to lay it back
Ow, show her how to lay it back
Alright!
Come on baby, I love you
(No you don't)
You never know, I might though
Can't say I won't, ah
There's that smile I'm looking for
Was that so hard?
If you ever need to smile again girl, take my card
Razzle-dazzle, never gon' stop
What you want is what I got
You wanna get down? You gotta get up
Don't be stingy with your big ol' butt
You got a booty like whoa, wait a minute!
I'm just playing with you
Loosen them shoulders up
Pour it up, let's work
Throw some perm on your attitude
Girl, you gotta relax (ooh)
Let me show you what you got to do
You gotta lay it back
Matter of fact, band, show her how to lay it back!
Show her how to lay it back
Show her how to lay it back
Ow, show her how to lay it back
Alright!
Hey, now you got it baby
You tryna have some fun tonight
You just gotta follow these simple instructions, you ready?
You need to activate your sexy (activate your sexy)
Silky, smooth and snap (silky, smooth and snap)
Now lean with it (lean), throw a lil' sheen in it (sheen)
Then pat, pat, pat 'til it's flat
One more time, you need to activate your sexy (activate your sexy)
Silky, smooth and snap (silky, smooth and snap)
Now lean with it (lean), throw a lil' sheen in it (sheen)
Then pat, pat, pat 'til it's flat
I'll sing it again
Throw some perm on your attitude
Girl, you gotta relax
(Ooh)
Ooh, let me show you what you got to do
You gotta lay it back
Matter of fact, band, show her how to lay it back!
Show her how to lay it back
Show her how to lay it back, now
Ow, show her how to lay it back right now

The theme to Sesame Street, a show many of you may have watched as kids.
The story at the beginning is true. I grew up in very remote parts of Alaska.
My only real connection with the outside world was a couple VHS videotapes that my grandma mailed to us, so we could watch them on our black and white TV.
Later on, my dad made a book about me. It describes the contrast between living in an extreme remote area, and the city, which was Anchorage, Alaska. The events described are a pretty real depiction of what it is like. He made the book by cutting up construction paper and arranging by color.
I decided to put Sesame Street with the book, as kind of a soundtrack, to describe the feeling of the experience.
The last slide is quintessential, NOW I PLAY SAX ON A BOAT.
Lyrics:
Sunny Day
Sweepin' the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet
Can you tell me how to get?
How to get to Sesame Street
Come and play
Everything's A-OK
Friendly neighbors there
That's where we meet
Can you tell me how to get
How to get to Sesame Street
It's a magic carpet ride
Every door will open wide
To happy people like you
Happy people like
What a beautiful
Sunny Day
Sweepin' the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet
Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to Sesame Street...
How to get to Sesame Street
How to get to...

A song by the band Clean Bandit from the UK. The first time I heard this song, it was their music video,
filmed in Japan, about a fan that starts hallucinating about the band.
I became moderately obsessed with this song and started listening to it every day.
I have done many versions of the song, some where I am beatboxing.
With this version, we tried simply to keep it close to the dance original just add saxophone as the melody.
There's no lyrics, but you can follow along anyways.
Lyrics:
If you gave me a chance I would take it
It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can't shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I rather be
If you gave me a chance I would take it
It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can't shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place

In my opinion this is one of Michael Jackson's masterpieces.
Honestly, he has so many, so realistically this is one of many.
This song almost makes me want to cry. Especially because it addresses racism. And I believe saxophone is a great fit for this song. I like the emotion portrayed with the sax.
There are no lyrics, but I've posted the lyrics here as well.
Lyrics:
I'm gonna make a change
For once in my life
It's gonna feel real good
Gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right
As I, turn up the collar on
My favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind
I see the kids in the street
With not enough to eat
Who am I, to be blind pretending not to see their needs?
A summer's disregard
A broken bottle top
And a one man's soul
They follow each other on the wind ya know
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could've been any clearer
If they wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
That there are some with no home
Not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me pretending that they're not alone?
A willow deeply scarred
Somebody's broken heart
And a washed out dream (washed out dream)
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya see
'Cause they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me
I'm starting with the man in the mirror (oh)
I'm asking him to change his ways (oh)
And no message could've been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
I'm starting with the man in the mirror (oh)
I'm asking him to change his ways (oh)
And no message could've been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make that
Change
I'm starting with the man in the mirror (oh yeah)
I'm asking him to change his ways (better change)
No message could've been any clearer
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
(Take a look at yourself and then make the change)
you can't
(Then you close your) close your, your mind
With the man in the mirror, oh yeah
I'm asking him to change his ways (better change)
No message could've been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
gonna feel real good now
I'm gonna make a change
It's gonna feel real good
Come on (change)
Just lift yourself
You know
You've got to stop it
Yourself (yeah)
I've got to make that change today
(Man in the mirror) you got to
You got to not let yourself brother
(Yeah) you know
(Make that change) I've got to get that man, that man
You've got to
You've got to move
Come on
Come on
You got to
Stand up, stand up (yeah, make that change)
Stand up
Stand up and lift
Yourself, now
(Man in the mirror)
Gonna make that change come on
(Man in the mirror)
You know it
You know it
You know it
You know
Change
Make that change

Originally by Stevie Wonder, but covered by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, I tried to get both versions with this arrangement.
I wanted to get the rock sound, as well as the soul. This was originally written for sax trio with drums, but then I reochestrated it for a band with instrumental sax.
There are no lyrics in this verion, but I've posted the lyrics just in case.
Lyrics:
People keep on learnin'
Soldiers keep on warnin'
World keep on turnin'
'Cause it won't be too long
Powers keep on lyin', yeah
While your people keep on dyin'
World keep on turnin'
'Cause it won't be too long
Oh, no
I'm so darn glad He let me try it again
'Cause my last time on earth, I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin'
'Til I reach my highest ground
Lovers keep on lovin'
Believers keep on believin', um yeah
Sleepers just stop sleepin'
'Cause it won't be too long, oh, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm so darn glad He let me try it again
'Cause my last time on earth, I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin'
'Til I reach my highest ground, whoo
'Til I reach my higher ground, oh no
No one's gonna bring me down
They're sure gonna try

The joke at the top that I say, "Now we're going to play something by my favorite band, they're called the Beatles".
The Beatles are very possible my favorite band ever. However that is really debatable, because I like so much music.
I wanted to get that early rock and roll kind of sound, especially with the sax.
There are no lyrics, but I've posted them here anyways.
Lyrics:
Well, she was just seventeen
You know what I mean
And the way she looked
Was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another
Ooh, when I saw her standing there?
Well, she looked at me
And I, I could see
That before too long
I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another
Ooh, when I saw her standing there
Well, my heart went "boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Oh we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another
Ooh, since I saw her standing there
Well, my heart went, "Boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Oh, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another
Oh, since I saw her standing there
Oh, since I saw her standing there
Yeah, well since I saw her standing there

Feeling Good is one of the most famous songs by Nina Simone.
It's only been recently that I've really gotten into Nina Simone.
Most people think of her as a singer, but she is actually originally a piano player.
She combines so many different styles of music.
I've played Feeling Good an uncountable amount of times on cruise ships,
so I decided to cover this song while I was performing at the restaurant Ritmo y Sabor.
This arrangement is the version of Michael Buble, which is also worth checking out.
There are no lyrics, but I've posted them just in case.
Lyrics:
Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
I'm feeling good
Fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River running free
You know how I feel
Blossom on a tree
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
Dragonfly out in the sun, you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun, you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done, that's what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me
For me
Stars when you shine
You know how I feel
Scent of the pine
You know how I feel
Oh, freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
I'm feeling good
I feel so good
I feel so good

I first heard a saxophone version of this song from Matt Corey.
He has a great show. He basically just takes pop songs, makes a great arrangement, groove, and then improvises over top.
This to me, this is basically a modern continuation of Jazz.
So I wanted to do an arrangement that was similar.
Just pop and dance music, fronted by a saxophone.
Even though it's instrumental, I've included the lyrics.
Lyrics:
Greetings loved ones
Let's take a journey
I know a place
Where the grass is really greener
Warm, wet n' wild
There must be something in the water
Sippin' gin and juice
Laying underneath the palm trees
(Undone)
The boys
Break their necks
Try'na to creep a little sneak peek
(At us)
You could travel the world
But nothing comes close
To the golden coast
Once you party with us
You'll be falling in love
Ooh oh ooh oh oh ooh
California girls
We're unforgettable
Daisy dukes
Bikinis on top
Sun-kissed skin
So hot
We'll melt your popsicle
Ooh oh ooh
Ooh oh ooh
California girls
We're undeniable
Fine, fresh, fierce
We got it on lock
West coast represent
Now put your hands up
Ooh oh ooh

The story in this completely true.
I was on tour with a reggae band. We stopped in Austin, Texas. There was a Texas thunderstorm going on.
We walked downtown. We saw a man walking his dog. On top of the dog was a cat. On top of the cat was a white rat.
So it was a rat on top of a cat on top of a dog walking through downtown Austin in the middle of a thunderstorm. Not making it up.
This gives me a chance to really use my harmonica skills. I'm personally a huge fan of Stevie Ray Vaughn. We wanted to do some Texas blues in honor of Austin.
Lyrics:
Well, you've heard about love givin' sight to the blind
My baby lovin' cause the sun to shine
She my sweet little thing
She my pride and joy
She my sweet little baby
I'm her little lover boy
Yeah, I love my baby
Heart and soul
Love like ours won't never grow old
She my sweet little thing
She my pride and joy
She my sweet little baby
I'm her little lover boy
Yeah, I love my Lenee
She long and lean
You mess with her
You'll see a man get mean
She my sweet little thing
She my pride and joy
She my sweet little baby
I'm her little lover boy
Well, I love my baby
Like the finest wine
Stick with her until the end of time
She my sweet little thing
She my pride and joy
She my sweet little baby
I'm her little lover boy
Yeah, I love my baby
Heart and soul
Love like ours won't never grow old
She my sweet little thing
She my pride and joy
She my sweet little baby
I'm her little lover boy

I love this song. I had a CD of Funk songs growing up, and this was one of my favorites.
I am also on my mission to make the saxophone as funky and dirty as possible. I wanted to do it instrumental, so that sax basically functions as a voice.
This features Mike Hurlehy on guitar. Rock out!
There's no lyrics, but I'll post them so you can follow along to the melody.
Lyrics:
Play that funky music
Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music
Play that funky music, white boy
I'm back and I'm ringin' the bell
A rockin' on the mike while the fly girls yell
In ecstasy in the back of me
Well that's my DJ Deshay cuttin' all them Z's
Hittin' hard and the girlies goin' crazy
Vanilla's on the mike, man I'm not lazy.
I'm lettin' my drug kick in
It controls my mouth and I begin
To just let it flow, let my concepts go
My posse's to the side yellin', Go Vanilla Go!
Smooth 'cause that's the way I will be
And if you don't give a damn, then
Why you starin' at me
So get off 'cause I control the stage
There's no dissin' allowed
I'm in my own phase
The girlies sa y they love me and that is ok
And I can dance better than any kid n' play
Play that funky music Come on Come on
Play that funky music, white boy I can't hear you, say it,
Play that funky music say it, say it, say
Play that funky music, white boy it, come on
Yea, a
little bit louder
now come on, come on
Stage 2 -- Yea the one ya' wanna listen to
It's off my head so let the beat play through
So I can funk it up and make it sound good
1-2-3 Yo -- Knock on some wood
For good luck, I like my rhymes atrocious
Supercalafragilisticexpialidocious
I'm an effect and that you can bet
I can take a fly girl and make her wet.
I'm like Samson -- Samson to Delilah
There's no denyin', You can try to hang
But you'll keep tryin' to get my style
Over and over, practice makes perfect
But not if you're a loafer.
You'll get nowhere, no place, no time, no girls
Soon -- Oh my God, homebody, you probably eat
Spaghetti with a spoon! Come on and say it!
Play that funky music
Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music Come on Come on
Play that funky music white boy Let's do it
VIP. Vanilla Ice yep, yep, I'm comin' hard like a rhino
Intoxicating so you stagger like a wino
So punks stop trying and girl stop cryin'
Vanilla Ice is sellin' and you people are buyin'
'Cause why the freaks are jockin' like Crazy Glue
Movin' and groovin' trying to sing along
All through the ghetto groovin' this here song
Now you're amazed by the VIP posse.
Steppin' so hard like a German Nazi
Startled by the bases hittin' ground
There's no trippin' on mine, I'm just gettin' down
Sparkamatic, I'm hangin' tight like a fanatic
You trapped me once and I thought that
You might have it
So step down and lend me your ear
'89 in my time! You, '90 is my year.
Play that funky music
Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music Come on, Come on, I
Play that funky music white boy can't hear you
You're weakenin' fast, YO! and I can tell it
Your body's gettin' hot, so, so I can smell it
So don't be mad and don't be sad
'Cause the lyrics belong to ICE, You can call me Dad
You're pitchin' a fit, so step back and endure
Let the witch doctor, Ice, do the dance to cure
So come up close and don't be square
You wanna battle me -- Anytime, anywhere
You thought that I was weak, Boy, you're dead wrong
So come on, everybody and sing this song
Say -- Play that funky music Say, go white boy, go white boy go
play that funky music Go white boy, go white boy, go
Lay down and boogie and play that funky music till you die.
Play that funky music Come on, Come on, let me hear
Play that funky music white boy you say it, say it
Play that funky music A little louder now
Play that funky music, white boy Come on, Come on, Come on
Play that funky music

This is sort of joke, because I was born in Alaska, so I was Born to be Wild.
But I have sooo many wild stories from Alaska. Of living in incredibly remote places.
Where there is nothing except nature. It's beautiful. Really I think it's something many of us strive for,
to be free. To be, really wild. This is why so many people are drawn to Alaska.
I wrote this version as a mashup between the version by Steppenwolf, and the version by Wilson Pickett.
I mashed the two of them together. I also stole a riff from Guns and Roses Sweet Child of Mine at the end to make it truly Rock and Roll.
Who says you can't play rock and roll on a sax? I truly think I do it justice :)
There are no lyrics in this version, but I'll put them here anyways:
Lyrics:
Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
In whatever comes our way
Yeah, darlin' gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
I like smoke and lightnin'
Heavy metal thunder
Racing with the wind
And the feeling that I'm under
Yeah, darlin' gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
Like a true nature's child
We were born
Born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild
Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
In whatever comes our way
Yeah, darlin' gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
Like a true nature's child
We were born
Born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild

One of the classics on sax. I had never heard of this song until an old British guy came up to me on a cruise ship and asked me to play it.
He was amazed that I had never heard of it. But I really grew to love this song.
The story goes that the main riff of the song was supposed to be recorded on guitar,
but the guitarist didn't show up, so they recorded on saxophone instead.
This was filmed at Ritmo y Sabor restaurant. About 300 yards away is the beach.
This is an instrumental version, but I will post the lyrics anyways.
Lyrics:
Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well, another crazy day
You'll drink the night away
And forget about ev'rything
This city desert makes you feel so cold
It's got so many people, but it's got no soul
And it's taken you so long
To find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything
You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you're tryin', you're tryin' now
Another year and then you'd be happy
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
But you're cryin', you're cryin' now
Way down the street there's a light in his place
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything
He's got this dream about buying some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands
And then he'll settle down
In some quiet little town
And forget about ev'rything
But you know he'll always keep movin'
You know he's never gonna stop movin'
'Cause he's rollin', he's the rolling stone
When you wake up, it's a new mornin'
The sun is shinin', it's a new mornin'
You're goin', you're goin' home

Part of my jam session with myself :)
I wanted to do a version of Careless Whisper that was different.
We are so used to hearing the ordinary George Michael version,
or maybe we'll hear a saxophone cover it exactly the same.
I wanted to do something different. I made an original beat,
and then I put the bass and keys over top. I want to give it more of a feeling of slow R&B,
romantic. I know the song is about an affair, but I wanted to make it about love.
And the sax on top plays the sax riff, the melody, and then improvises.
This is part of a larger session that involved many songs, this is just one.

I lived in Argentina for about 8 years. Note the tango while I'm telling the story.
It opened up my mind to so many things.
It started out as a pretty crazy trip, and it continued to be a crazy trip :)
My band is all from Colombia. Some of my best friends are from Colombia :)
I wrote this version as sort of a mashup of styles.
Obvious the Beatles wrote this song, and then I heard Tito Puente do it and I thought it was incredible.
Also, I felt that it needed some influence from rock and hip-hop.
The two artists that really came to mind were Santana and Jay-Z.
The rap in the middle is original, written by me, I hope my Spanish isn't too terrible.
This song is a great inspiration to me. In this crazy world, it reminds us that we are much more similar than we are different.
And we need to Come Together, and understand each other.
Here come old flat top
He come grooving up slowly
He got joo joo eyeball
He one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please
He wear no shoe shine
He got toe jam football
He got monkey finger
He shoot Coca-Cola
He say I know you, you know me
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together, right now, over me
Rap:
Vamos Juntos, adelante
Vengan cerca, escuchan las parlantes
Estamos en el mudno
No es tan profundo
Quedamos en un barco
Por un momento muy corto
Somos diferente en cuerpo y en mente
Somos distinto pero es casi lo mismo
Vengan cerca, escuchan las parlantes
Estamos en el mundo
Vamos juntos!
He bag production
He got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard
He one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together, right now, over me
He roller coaster
He got early warning
He got muddy water
He one mojo filter
He say, "one and one and one is three"
Got to be good looking 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together, right now, over me
Oh
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Oh
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah

An instrumental sax version of Shawn Mendes' (with Camila Cabello) Senorita, performed at the restaurante Ritmo y Sabor.
I really love this song, and I especially love the way it sounds on sax.
I really hope you enjoy this version.
Thanks for listening!
Lyrics:
I love it when you call me señorita
I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya
But every touch is ooh, la-la-la
It's true, la-la-la
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you keep me coming for ya
Land in Miami
The air was hot from summer rain
Sweat dripping off me
Before I even knew her name, la-la-la
It felt like ooh, la-la-la
Yeah, no
Sapphire moonlight
We danced for hours in the sand
Tequila sunrise
Her body fit right in my hands, la-la-la
It felt like ooh, la-la-la, yeah
I love it when you call me señorita
I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya
But every touch is ooh, la-la-la
It's true, la-la-la
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you know I love it when you call me señorita
I wish it wasn't so damn hard to leave ya
But every touch is ooh, la-la-la
It's true, la-la-la
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you keep me coming for ya
Locked in the hotel
There's just some things that never change
You say we're just friends
But friends don't know the way you taste, la-la-la
'Cause you know it's been a long time coming
Don't you let me fall, oh
Ooh, when your lips undress me
Hooked on your tongue
Ooh, love, your kiss is deadly
Don't stop
I love it when you call me señorita
I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya
But every touch is ooh, la-la-la
It's true, la-la-la
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you know I love it when you call me señorita
I wish it wasn't so damn hard to leave ya
But every touch is ooh, la-la-la
It's true, la-la-la (true, la-la)
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you keep me coming for ya
All along I've been coming for ya (for ya)
And I hope it meant something to ya (ooh)
Call my name, I'll be coming for ya
Coming for ya, coming for ya, coming for ya
For ya
For ya (oh, she loves it when I call)
For ya
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you keep me coming for ya

A live mix of Duffy's Mercy. I included my live instrument looping to create a mashup.
I first make a groove using bass and keys, then start Duffy, and add harmonica, and sax.
Similar to a DJ remix, just done with live instruments. I use Ableton Live to combine everything.
Lyrics:
Hit the beat
And take it to the verse, now
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I love you
But I gotta stay true
My morals got me on my knees
I'm begging, please, stop playing games
I don't know what this is
'Cause you got me good
Just like you knew you would
I don't know what you do
But you do it well
I'm under your spell
You got me begging you for mercy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Why won't you release me? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You got me begging you for mercy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Why won't you release me? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I said release me (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now you think that I
Will be something on the side
But you got to understand
That I need a man
Who can take my hand, yes I do
I don't know what this is
'Cause you got me good
Just like you knew you would
I don't know what you do
But you do it well
I'm under your spell
You got me begging you for mercy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Why won't you release me? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You got me begging you for mercy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Why won't you release me? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I said you'd better release (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm begging you for mercy
You look at me and think we're the same kind
'Cause you don't know what I got and
Yes, why won't you release me?
I'm gonna get more than I'm asking for
But I just don't want to waste my time
I'm begging you for mercy
You know that I'll be the other girl
Just like there's nothing in this world
You got me begging
I know that I'm gonna get me some
I just don't know where to get it from
You got me begging
You got me begging
Mercy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Why won't you release me? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm begging you for mercy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Why won't you release me? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You got me begging you for mercy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm begging you for mercy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm begging you for mercy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm begging you for mercy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm begging you for mercy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Why won't you release me, yeah! yeah!
Break it down
Mercy, begging you for mercy
You got me begging
Down on my knees
You got me begging
Begging you for mercy
You got me begging
Eeeeh, eeeeh
Eeeh, oooh

An original beat dedicated to an incredible person that i got to share some of my life with.
Filmed in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=cooperwhite/gtokxmpa
Filmed in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with my friend Yanina.
We filmed many songs, this is Bill Withers' Ain't No Sunshine.
We filmed in a garage to give the kind of vibe we were looking for.
We filmed everything twice because we only had one camera, haha.
The beat is mine, and of course the instruments as well.
Lyrics:
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
This house just ain't no home
anytime she goes away
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=cooperwhite/mlzacvhg
This is Bill Withers' Ain't No Sunshine.
We filmed this in Buenos Aires, Argentina. My friend Yanina is on vocals.
We filmed it in a garage because we wanted that smoky vibe.
We had to film everything twice because we only had one camera!
It of course features me on bass, keys, and sax. We are also using one of my original beats.
Please enjoy!
Lyrics
Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
This house just ain't no home
anytime, she goes away.

This is an original beat that I created. It is based slightly on the song Low Rider, so I named it LA Sunshine after the band War from Los Angeles.
War was an interesting band. They fused funk and latin music to create a completely different sound.
As well, their "horn section" is a harmonica player and a sax player. Very unique.
I filmed this while living in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. I'm just doing some improvising over top of the beat. The beat was created on Maschine Mikro.

This is an hour long home concert from my electronic live looping show.
You will see my show in action, but this time mixing in popular songs,
like Bruno Mars, Duffy, Katy Perry, and many more.
I'm using a looper, and combining these pop tracks with house tracks,
and my original beats.
With the looper, I'm combining sax, bass, keys, harmonica, and flute to create an amazing experience,
with only one person!
Please enjoy, or share with friends for a party!

This is a little snippet of the show that I was part of for three years.
It's a rock musical based on the movies of John Hughes, like The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueler, St. Elmo's Fire, Wierd Science, etc.
It was super fun because the sax player was a character in the show. The sax player is a student that shows up in various parts of the show.
The music is all music from the 80's, much of it falling in the category of New Wave. David Bowie was some of my favorite music from the show.
In addition to costumes, I had have makeup, and change my hair. I had to wear rocker eyeliner, and for the first six months I had a mohawk, after that I dyed my hair half green and half blue.
They would fly us to Los Angeles for rehearsals, which was amazing. We got to stay in a huge house in Hollywood. Then, they would fly us to a cruise ship, where we would perform for six months.
It was an unforgettable experience, one that I will remember forever.

I filmed this video right outside of the town of Whittier.
This is with one of my original beats.
This is another one of the short videos I filmed during lockdown in Alaska,
combining nature with my original beats.

Jungle Sax!!! Was the inspiration of sax player Lenny Pickett, and then I arranged the songs myself.
We did Stevie Wonder's Higher Ground, and Jimi Hendrix's Fire.
The name Jungle Sax inspired costumes, so we decided to all dress up with whatever we had.
One of us is wearing a toga, the other wearing snorkeling gear, and I am wearing a parka.
The drummer is wearing winter clothing also.
We performed the show while working on a cruise ship.
The show was part of a captains meeting, where all the crewmembers come together.
As such, we decided it would be a good idea to run through the crowd.
I hope you enjoy... JUNGLE SAX!!!

This is a video I made in Alaska during lockdown.
This is filmed in Anchorage, Alaska, and features me on all the instruments.
This song is from a famous album called Alaska Hit Singles featuring many comical songs about Alaska.
I wanted to incorporate the scenery of Alaska in the video.
Lyrics:
I hates the man
That said all bears shit in the woods
Cuz I don't
Rar! Cuz I'm a polar Bear

I filmed this in Alaska, on the Trail of Blue Ice.
It's about one hour from Anchorage, its a nice trail with scenic mountains.
I filmed this clip right as the sun was dipping.
Interesting to know though, the light really never leaves in the summertime in Alaska.
The sun might leave for a few hours, but the twilight/half-light remains.
I put this clip with one of my original beats, called Train Man, which was inspired by a section from the move The Matrix.
I made this beat with the Maschine Mikro, which is amazing for music beat production.
This is one of a series of videos to combine my original beats with shots from nature.

I wrote the song to myself, to remind myself to believe in myself.
This is especially important in the music industry, but important for everyone in everything they do.
Sometimes we doubt ourselves, it's important to believe in yourself, and that you will make it.
With this song, I wanted to replace singing vocals with saxophone, similar to a pop song where the vocalist sings the chorus with a rap breakdown. I originally wrote lyrics for the sax melody. So the sax is basically functioning as the singer.
The beat/track was created by me in Logic. I also used other programs like Reason. The guitar was recorded by Garreth Gittins from England.
The video was filmed on a cruise ship in Santorini, Greece and in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I had a lot of help with the filming from Brayden Kyle Clark from Calgary, Canada.
The Buenos Aires section I filmed myself. I got a friend Ella Virtanen from Finland to be part of the video and we filmed in front of La Flor in Buenos Aires and in the Japanese Garden. The city scenes I got by getting in a taxi and driving around the city in circles a few times.
I did all the video editing myself. The point of the girl was that there was something/someone mysterious that you never really get to see their face until the end.
I wanted to use different effects to try make the video a little psychedelic. The glasses are very John Lennon, which also reminds us to Imagine.
The second rap with filmed in my apartment. I wanted to line up the shots like a record scratching.
I hope you enjoy!
Here are the lyrics so you can read along
You’re gonna make it
You know that it’s true
You’re gonna make it so believe in you
I’m not trying to be a playing
I know what I’m a saying
I’m not coming of nothing cuz I know I’m something
You think you got it
I know that you got it
Guide in you and ain’t nothing can’t stop it
It’s all gonna come
So do it for the fun
Just let it go
Believe in You
Drive it like you stole it
Man just like I told ya
Take the world and own it
Ain’t nothing can control you
You begin to win, and you see it til the end
Follow what I’m saying, if you get it tell a friend
Losing without choosing it ain’t something that you want
Mind over matter, it’s like a deck of cards
Thinking and believing what you think is what will be
Follow all your dreams, let your mind be free
You’re gonna make it, you know that it’s true
You’re gonna make it, you know that it’s true
You’re gonna make it so believe in you
You’re gonna make it so believe in you
You’re gonna make it so believe in you
You’re gonna make it so believe in you

Here is my cover of War's Low Rider. Filmed on cruise ship.

Yours truly on beatbox, keys, bass, sax, harmonica, and voice.

Take a little trip with me

This was filmed near the Byron Glacier in Alaska. It's a couple hours away from Anchorage. The glacier is really incredible because you can actually walk inside the ice caves!
Super fun. I decided to couple it with one of my original beats. This beat is called San Francisco.

Stand By Me clip featuring yours truly on all the instruments. This is was created in a sound booth in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The neighbors got tired of me practicing so we built this.

An original song featuring me on all the instruments. Electronic soul jazz. This was recorded in Anchorage Alaska during lockdown. I stayed with my dad in a house in the forest for 8 months. It was great to be in nature. This video is dedicated to a dear friend of mine that died that year. His name is Richard Benneville, he was the mayor of Nome Alaska, a town where I lived. He had a great story. He was an actor, and had worked in New York on broadway. He became an alcoholic and moved to Alaska. There he started a new life. He was a huge inspiration for me. He told me, dream big, but don't worry if you don't get exactly where you want, because you'll get somewhere, and you be proud of how far you came. This is an original beat, and the song was written by me. I recorded it on a cruise ship in Europe, and first performed it off the coast of Brazil while performing on a yacht for Carnival. It still doesn't have lyrics, maybe some day.

Thanks!

Electronic Soul Jazz. A combination of house music and original beats.
with live looping on sax, bass, keys, flute, and harmonica. Filmed in Quintana Roo, Mexico. I was performing in a hotel in the small beach town of Mahahual. A friend of mine and I decided to film this video. We needed to have a super long cable to reach to the end of the dock. But everything went well, and this is the video that you see here.
