RC is one of my bari sax heroes! Dig the sax section "dancing" and one of the guys in the section on tambourine while Cuber is blowing!

"Rock" is right.

[Larry Kart]

This, from a good deal later on, is happening too:

Indeed!

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Phew to both videos!

Saw Ronnie in 2000, with Lonnie Smith, Peter Bernstein and someone subbing for Idris, at Brecon - an open air gig. And Cuber tore the whole town down! (It's not a very big town.))

Great clip! Hearing the sax section play Illinois Jacquet's solo reminded me of the recent thread on solos that become part of the tune.

I guess this would be a good time to remind folks that Ronnie has a new CD on Steeplechase:

Cuber is perhaps the most underrated of all baritone players, and certainly the groovinest of 'em all.

Great player in Latin style, too.

Now on youTube!

I love how this guy just gives it up and just does that thing with no apparent ambiguity. Ronnie Cuber, y'all!

And jesus do I love watching Lionel Hampton, as much as I do listening to him.

[Brad]

There’s something about a bari. Can’t describe it.

very ineresting

[mikeweil]

Great solo! 

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Ronnie kicks some ass on that one!! Love Ronnie.

He has a new live recording coming out soon. I'm pretty sure that it's live from Scullers Jazz Club. I was at that show and Ronnie was cookin'.

BTW, am I the only one who noticed "EXECUTIVE PRODUCER Sheldon Cooper"? In this clip's defense, it really is The Big Bang Theory for sure.

Very enjoyable. Thanks JS for putting up the video again.

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

proud to say i saw this group!

[Mark Stryker]

I think that's Cuber doing the narration at the top here. Plays a great solo later too.

 

He owns this one too from the get-go.
