EWI Solo jazz musician live jam. An EWI is an electric saxophone – Electric Wind Instrument. This all star band is amazing and makes for a great solo bed for the EWI played by Jazz Musician Greg Vail. Thanks toy KSBR.net and Cox Cable OC for footage.

Wow!! Where can i find the rest of this gig?

Its music like this which sets the mind free of routine. Off the beat, beyond the metranome.
Not marching, but grooving, so much emotion.

Jazz, nothing compares to the psychology found in jazz. Freedom has a name and its
found here in this music.

Wow…………you love to play it…………we love to listen to it! How long did it take you to learn that instrument? Is it a lot different from a sax?

@Maverick3654 – it is pretty different and very the same – fingering is very the same but the way it works is completely different. I have been playing an EWI since the mid 80′s.

Good one! What a solo.
You had me convinced: my next sax will be an EWI.

Hey Greg, I’ve been playing for over 20 years, and I’m just hearing about you now? What?! Great playing! Love your dark tone on your horn videos. Looks like a Keilworth with an alternate neck. Jam on Greg, Jam on. I tried playing the EWI and It’s a challenging instrument to learn, but it is so fun on live gigs when you’re getting funky !!

Is it me, or do you miss Brecker too?

Blessings !
