Leo Pellegrino (Leo P) the best saxophonist ever

in #art7 years ago

Hello!
A few months ago, I became acquainted with the work of a gang of street musicians called "Too Many Zooz". Leo Pellegrino (Leo P) is a baritone saxophonist based in New York City. He graduated from the Manhattan School of Music in 2013. He is a current member of the "brass house" band Too Many Zooz and former member of the Lucky Chops brass band.

While at the Manhattan School of Music, Pellegrino recorded with its Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra. Scott Yanow's review of the album noted: "Pellegrino's use of extremely high notes as punctuation during his passionate solo on 'Let There Be Swing'."

Pellegrino is "perhaps best known for his impressive dance moves while performing on the baritone saxophone. A number of videos with Pellegrino have gained wide popularity on YouTube, due in equal parts to his playing, dancing, and loud hair and dress styles. Many videos of Too Many Zooz have gone 'viral' showing the band busking in New York City Subway stations, particularly the always busy Union Square station." Too Many Zooz featured on Beyoncé Knowles's 2016 album Lemonade and joined her for a performance of Daddy Lessons at the 2016 Country Music Association Awards.

Pellegrino was a guest player with the Metropole Orkest in a 2017 BBC Proms concert on the works of Charles Mingus. John Fordham of The Guardian commented on "Pellegrino's hook-punctuated sax playing and busker's line in simultaneous pirouettes, knee-tremblers and high kicks by accident or design, the newcomer did emphasize the joyous impulsiveness of an American musical giant often characterized as only a tortured genius."Pellegrino will be performing with Too Many Zooz at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London in November 2017.

Отличная статья, мне очень понравилось.

Його віртуозність мене вражає!

Super! I listened to them before! Very nice low timbre for the instrument. But as always: it sounds good in the hands of the master!

Whatever instrument was, he is nothing without talent
