Sorry, Soprano Sax!
Gotta be right…
greg you are amazing.
this is what I like, great composition DESPITE the amazing technical prowess.
the dude on the sax is a pirate
ah what breath control!
brilliant… that sax player is amazing
Check out the album “Lift”, anyone who loves music needs it
Amazing song! Have to love it!
One question….which bass guitar is the bassist using? Amazing tone
sounds like an early P . Gabriel song
Yes, the groove is much like “Biko”, but Biko is in a major key and this is minor. I was definitely listening to a lot of Gabriel when I wrote this tune back in 1986. Thanks for listening.
the sax player is my dad
forwarding this on. Thanks. Five stars.
Muito bom como sempre! Very good as always! This was one of the first tunes that I’ve heard from yours, the sax theme is magnetic! Beautiful song! You rock man!
hubert is the man
I’m glad and lucky I got to see this band live, because they are no longer playing together. They were amazing!!!!!!!
BTW, that bass is a Bass Collection 4-string fretless. I see someone asked, but I think he or she did not get a reply.
jealous. your dad owns.
this band have a myspace or something?
Hmmmm. Greg messes up the rhythm in the treble strings quite a bit, especially in the beginning. Shocking…
The band doesn’t exist as a band anymore, but you can find me there at: /gregplaysthestick and jan wolfkamp is is on there as well. Thanks for your interest. The Cd that this song is on is available from itunes, it’s called “Lift”
it must be hard to try and look cool with the stick. it has to stay in one postion relatively speaking.
The sop sax player has a sick tone. Also, he could get a job as a pirate.
Ive had this tune running inside around my head for almost a month now. Absolutely amazing song! =D
Hi Aleksander,
Thanks for such a kind comment. Since I posted this tune here, I’ve placed the CD “Lift” which has a studio version of it available on iTunes, etc. I was really privileged to play with these guys. skål!
Wow Greg! I ahve always loved this tune…so beautiful and the dynamics are perfect.
I have the studio version of this ..yo used to have it as a download on your site some years ago…thank you.
BTW..I pt in my order for an SB8 lam bamboo stained Turq with Recon Turq bass pattern inlays.Can’t wait man!
Take care,
Juan R Leõn

This was a magic concert for me. The studio, the Greg Howard Band CD, “Lift” is currently only vailable as a digital download (itunes, etc)
