Greg Vail, Sax Player, live in Southern California, playing a great Smooth Jazz event for KSBR Radio Station in Mission Viejo. The event is held every Memorial Day weekend and ticket info is at www.KSBR.net
Youve inspired me to really try and learn this beautiful instrument and thats what matters to most ppl, self inspiration. Keep making your Joyful noise and be Blessed.
I find that alot of people are generally too critical of other peoples music. They play too much for the technical aspect of music instead of the moment, the feeling, and the love. They want to find something wrong with something. I dont think you missed a single thing. Ive played guitar for a while and im goin to learn the sax. You have gone up there on my list right along with Gerald Albright, Boney James, even Maceo Parker. I really dont care who may or may not agree with me.
@gvSAXBOY Just hearing this smoking solo helped re-ignite my sax playing in our worship team. It's hard to be a sax player in a guitar world ya know...
If you want more volume and edge over, say, standar Rico Royals then try some plasticovers. They'll help you compete with amplified instruments, they're the cheapest way to get closer to wht you want (go price a mouthpiece) and they play straight out of the box :-)
@TheeMotivator -- Not sure but I think it was a song by Max Bennett, bass player on a thousand hit tracks thru the 70's and beyond. Search his music online.....
I play guitar fusion and blues mainly (no vids) but anyway you've influenced me to play the sax and i'm starting next week!! i've never seen such a player any advice about the sax?
Greg, excellent playing I've really enjoyed the clips you've posted. Thanks. I was wondering what you thoughts are on baffles. I understand that you have a custom Guardala similar to the cresent model and another Guardaka that a baffle was removed from by a mojo? Anyways I play an link 7* on tenor and am currently trying out a guardala studio 7* gold plated. Is it a benefit to my sound as a developing player to stick with the link? God bless
NICE VID GREG!! I Love all of your vids on here... Question about your mouthpice on Tenor I know you said Guardala, but what is the exact model of it? Is it the old hand made ones, or the newer ones? Also lig used on Tenor? Thanks kindly if you respond.. You are AMAZING.... Love your work
WOW! Great job Greg! I do not hear too many players who play so aggressively over a cool jazz background. It ain't easy, and you pulled it off with flying colors. BTW, is that a JK you're blowing through?
Greg Vail to the world Most certainly !☝️
The master BLASTER ! Greg Vail to the world !
this is someone who has clearly and completely MASTERED the saxophone
im a guitarist and I have to say, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE SAXOPHONE!! you can learn so much from their phrasing.
It is players like this that made me fall in love with a Tenor Sax!
Always loved your tenor the best!!!! You're amazing.
Just have to admire Greg Vail, my kind of saxophonist! Fabulous to see him in action!
Que pedazo de sonido!!!!

The pattern on that sax is amazing and so is the sound
Amazing. Loved every minute of it.
Love your mellow sound. All on the same page musically. Love it when it all comes together like this.
