I always assume all sax on all pop records was played by Satan himself.

Does Satan come in the form of the guy in the picture below?  |

I'm actually always amazed at how much Brian loved using saxophones. |

I'm actually always amazed at how much Brian loved using saxophones. Somehow there's a difference between the sax on "California Dreamin" and the sax on "Salt Lake City." Something about a sax solo in the middle of a song, like "Let's all stop playing and let the sax take a few lines," is just nauseating. I love "The First Time" on Live at the Roxy... except for the sax solo. Why, Brian, why? (apologies to Paul Mertens) |

Agree with you Amy. I don't really like saxophones except when they are used subtly. And I couldn't agree more about the sax solo's at Brian's shows. I HATE them. Nothing against Paul Mertens, but it seems its like "well, Paul has nothing to do in this song, so lets just give him a sax solo. And I sit there thinking "hey, where's this on the record?" |

Speaking of sax...
When did Richie Cannata start playing with the beach boys and when did he stop?
I know he also played with Billy Joel, how long did he play with his band?
I enjoy his playing quite a bit (saw him recently with Al Jardine's band and I also saw him with the beach boys a long time ago). I also hear what the others are saying. Too much sax soloing can be detrimental to a song.

Richie joined the BB Band in 1993 and left in 1998, along with Matt Jardine.

Who played bass on California Dreamin'? I always thought the bass sounded very sloppy on this one.

Agree re Richie joining in 91, leaving with Carl's passing in 98. He played with Billy Joel throughout the 1970's as one of his original band members. Oddly, he is one of the few, if not only, former band member that has remained inside Billy's circle, still playing with him on occasion such as the "12 Gardens" live CD a couple of years ago. I met Richie backstage at my last BB concert in 1997. WE talked briefly, he made sure I had good seats to the show. I came away thinking he was a genuinely nice guy. |

I think that the horrible delay they have on the California Dreamin sax plays a part. I agree generally saxes are great when subtle. However I love the Sax parts on many Madness songs...though quite a different type of music of course. Sam |

Close...he joined in '91. Richie may well have played some earlier shows, but the first show he played in Atlanta as a member of the BB Band was in 1993. He was not with them in Atlanta in '91 nor in '92. |

Turns out it was a one-man horn section. Why does the phrase 'one-man horn section' make me think "Dennis Wilson" ? |

I prefer saxes when they are low notes and grooving like on mid 60s Beach Boys stuff or like on 'Girl from New York City'. I also like how Steely Dan used them making chords out of them, however all this wailing is horrible, it reminds me of these awful instrumental sax albums my mother used to play in the kitchen - and they weren't actually real saxes but keyboard sax!

I usually can't stand sax solos, but there's one exception: "Baker Street". It somehow works for that song.

this is slightly off topic from sax solos, but it does concern solos.....
what's everyone think of the horns solo on Time to get Alone? I think it's fantastic.

To view my video documentation of my Beach Boys collection go to www.youtube.com/justinplank "Someone needs to tell Adrian Baker that imitation isn't innovation." -The Real Beach Boy ~post of the century~ "Well, you reached out to me too, David, and I'd be more than happy to fill Bgas's shoes. You don't need him anyway - some of us have the same items in our collections as he does and we're also much better writers. Spoiled brat....." -Mikie "in this online beach boy community, I've found that you're either correct or corrected. Which in my mind is all in good fun to show ones knowledge of their favorite band."- punkinhead |
