The Cannonball Band: Outkast and Rather Be (cover)

[RyanCannonball]

We've been having some fun recording lately! I'm curious as to what this crowd prefers - do you like the jazzed-up pop cover, or the funk / groove?

Clean Bandit's "Rather Be"

Outkast by Keith Anderson (saxophonist for Prince)

(I'm playing bari in the first, tenor in the second one)

BTW Ryan what mouthpiece is Randal Clark playing on alto?

Thanks in advance

Great music Ryan. Its always a pleasure to hear the Cannonball Band perform. I also love listening to Kenji Aihara on guitar every chance I get. What a "monster" player he is as well. Can you tell us about the tenor Keith Anderson is playing?

He's playing a custom-made Ernie Northway piece, though he sounds good on every mouthpiece he plays!

I agree - Kenji's solo on Outkast is phenomenal. I could listen to it (especially the second chorus) over and over again.

That's a custom one-off model we made for Keith with black keys on a pearl white body. Since he plays for Prince, he wanted something unique and flashy so we went out on a limb for him. It's a beauty, and sounds really, really good. I had a great time playing it while setting it up for him!

Dang, I want one. I love that look only I would want gold keys.

I can do you one better: how about Pearl White body, gold keys, and gold inside the bell?

I'll be right over.

The pearl white / gold is a limited finish we made in the Big Bell Stone Series this year. They just recently hit stores, and I have it on good authority that a few of them have already made it into stores in the UK

 

[ProfJames]

They look great...which stores are stocking please? I live close to Dawkes....

Am I the only one put in mind of a leaky toilet U-bend with gold keywork?

 

[Nick Wyver]

He would say but then he'd have to kill you.

 

[RyanCannonball]

I only know where they're headed as they leave the US, but I'm sure the folks at Dawkes will be glad to give you a real-time update of the location & availability.

I sure hope so. What about this special anniversary edition of the Yamaha Custom 875EX?

 

[Jeanette]

I want a white and gold sax, imagine having a row playing at a wedding

Row about what? Ligatures, finishes, reeds?

 

[jbtsax]

I deleted my post because it could be considered sexist. I grew up in the 50's and 60's and still have some of that stuff rattling around inside me. Sorry if anyone took offense.

A white sax? One glass of red wine at the interval and it would look like it had measles.
