Here’s another\u00a0great saxophone solo transcription from a Youtube video that I started working on this morning.\u00a0\u00a0 This is another great solo from the terrific\u00a0tenor sax player, Danny Walsh (I’ve already transcribed a couple other solos<\/a> by him). Danny Walsh is an amazing NYC saxophone\u00a0player that \u00a0many people may not know about but is definitely worth checking out!\u00a0 Here is a short bio of him taken from the description of the Youtube video below:<\/p>\n

A world-class saxophonist, composer and performer Danny Walsh is regarded as one of the most gifted and versatile recording artists in the jazz and R&B circuits. During the course of his career, he has not only recorded, performed and toured with many jazz, R&B and classic rock luminaries, but continues to be involved as a clinician at colleges and universities throughout the nation. Upon graduation from The Berklee School of Music, Danny was immediately hired by Aerosmith. Soon after he secured more opportunities with the Mingus Dynasty Big Band, Mike Stern, Greg Allman, Phil Woods, Mulgrew Miller, Marcus Miller, Bruce Springsteen, Donald Brown, Terruo Nakamura and many others. In this broadcast, he is joined by a group of other gifted musicians: Emiko Ohara on keyboard, Rob Reich on guitar, Eric Halvorson on drums, Chris Berger on bass and the lovely Anastasia Rene as a guest vocalist. A very special night for all!<\/em><\/p>\n

Danny Walsh-Tenor Saxophone<\/strong><\/p>\n

This whole gig, in the Youtube video below, sticks out to me because the setlist is primarily tunes we would all play on a typical gig. \u00a0Cold Duck Time, Wave, Our Love is Here to Stay, The Way You Look Tonight, Masquerade, etc……. \u00a0I find it fascinating to hear a player of Danny’s calibre playing these common tunes that we probably have all played on gigs and just tearing them to shreds. \u00a0The other thing that I love is how effortless Danny looks while soloing on the sax. \u00a0He’s playing these intense lines but looking like he’s\u00a0playing Mary Had a Little Lamb or something. \u00a0Not a drip of sweat or sign of effort, it just seems like it is flowing out of him effortlessly. \u00a0 I love that!<\/p>\n
