Keep pushing my friend, it's always difficult learning something new while comparing ourselves to players like this and it's easy to forget the grueling hours they themselves have dedicated to mastering such an art.

You sir, went out of your way to be petty. You painted a more vivid picture with your pointless hate than the comment you don’t care about.

I met Eric at a Kansas Jazz concert once. He's got a sense of humor like no other with the sax, and he's surprisingly humble. Eric is one of my greatest inspirations in music and I love his music.

I remember Eric as a kid. We both played in the band class together at Lincoln Jr High in CA. One time in Particular he played a duet at the Christmas concert with another musician on the trumpet I think his last name was Preckel. I was simply stunned with their talent. It's good to see that you made it big Eric.

Eric is a great player AND a great guy. I remember back in the early 90's, he was writing a column in "Saxophone Journal". A friend had gotten tickets to a little jazz fest down in Wallowa Lake, Oregon, and asked me if I'd like to go...so, off we went. I had never met Eric, but recognized him when he came out on stage to set up. This was before so many "security" problems, so access to the stage was easy...just walk up to it. So I did just that and said: "Eric Marienthal! How the heck are ya?" He smiled, stopped what he was doing, came over and we had a nice conversation. I told him, I'd better stop bugging you so you can get set up! He just smiled and said, come over later...I'd like to talk with you some more. Very cool guy, great all around...

a good story

Justin Martin

The generousity of all the jazzers I've met is astounding. I'm sure there are some who are completely annoying and not personable, but I've never met one. Funny little coincidence, Jim Manley did the same thing to Bobby Shew as a younger man and ended up getting taught by Bobby for a number of years.

I imagine myself watching this live sitting on a chair and leaning on a table. How wondeful and serene do you think it would be? Also, watching through a window and seeing life going and passing by. This is one of my goals in life. I want to experience this someday! I do not care if I'm alone. There's beauty in solitude.

It's such a privilege that I got to learn the saxophone. It's such a wonderful instrument. Maybe the pianists have us in repertoire, but we have so many astonishing players with their own sound. Almost the entire history of the instrument is in the recording era so we just have an evergrowing pile of music that we can't even listen to in a lifetime to inspire us.

"Insane" nowadays sometimes is used as a compliment to express strong positive feelings about something or someone. Ex: "That guy is insane at the piano!" or "Man, that roller-coaster was insane!"

For me that particular interpretation is the definitive version of Body and Soul; the other versions are simple versions, covers.

I have heard this tune many times. I have heard it played on sax many times. But, I have never heard it played with such taste and finesse. We just got a lesson in what it sounds like when a highly skilled musician performs on the sax. To become that good, takes much work and dedication. This presentation is quite a gift to each of us. (I think I'll toss my sax away. :) )

I was first introduced to Eric's music by his round trip album and have been a huge fan ever since! In the mid ninety's I lived in Hong Kong and Eric would stop into a little jazz club I frequented and play while on his way to larger venues. Everyone loved him and his music--always presented himself as an incredibly talented and humble sax man...One of the Greats!!

Jazz is the music of the musicians. People don't listen to it on a normal basis because it's not about transporting a message to them, but it's rather a conversation of the musicians through their instruments. You can hear them talking when you actually take the time to listen. That's a skill too many people miss.

Eric Marienthal a living jazz legend!!! who don't remembered his beautiful sax lines in lethal weapon movies, GRP band. No doubt about it he is one of the best alto saxophone player ever.

Charlie Holiday

Charlie Parker was the best Alto player ever.Hands down.
This was what is called in the business 'a wank'
what did he do besides greasily embellish the melody?

Cristian V

6y↑3

AWE SUM Charly parker is a different type of player, he helps to create bebop. Jazz is a free expression with an infinitely ways to be creative to have your own language. For me everyone who can deliver and brings his own language have my respect. Let's enjoy this beautiful music called Jazz..

FULL MOON

@ AWE SUM
****************
I dare to suggest that you've never heard him (Eric Marienthal) playing in some fusion formations ( Chick Corea, Jeff Lorber etc...), not to mention GRP All Star Big Band. I'm positive that none of those mentioned wouldn't hire someone who can't play Lol... In this video, Eric "embellished"/interpreted (very beautifully if I may add) an old, overplayed standard ("Body & Soul"). What's wrong with that ? Not to take anything away from Charlie Parker, his technical and harmonic gymnastics may satisfy one's musical taste, but he is not the best choice for those who are looking for melodic chemistry that only players adept in many genres can deliver. Wake up dude !!! There was the time of Charlie Parker but now is the time of Eric Marienthal, Greg Osby, and..., forgive me please that suggestion but it is the reality of today, even though it might not be a pure jazz... https://youtu.be/DtkG8oGmEpo.

Jerry

AWE SUM there is no “best ever”.
So many amazing sax players in history you can’t choose just one.
If Parker is YOUR preferred player, fine.
But I’ll take Phil Woods, Coleman Hawkins, Dexter Gordon and Cannonball Adderly (among many others) over Parker any day.

Eric might be one (if not the only one) of those "musical chameleons" who are equally comfy playing old, timeless standards, charming his audience with sweet "smoothy" chops, and step into Chic Korea or Chuck Loeb fusion formations, just as he was playing that genre for the last 1000 years (just kidding, he is not that old Lol...).
I tip my hat to you Mr. Marienthal !!!

Jeff Tock

And he kills it on flute! One of my absolute favorites!

Exactly my thoughts too...that's something I really like about having him as my teacher too just because he can and likes to do it all...btw he's also very gifted teacher

Dr. Detroit

@Gary Melhaff can he teach me?

Oh, yes. I love saxophone jazz. The most valid kind of music to listen to. (In my opinion.)
