Hello SOTW,

I have recently aquired a liking for jazz tenor solos that are Loud, growly and impressive. Sadly, i dont really know where to find them although i sometimes hear them on the jazz radio. If someone can help me identify which genre of jazz they fit into and show me some good examples i would appreciate it.

Here is an example of what i mean:

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Despite how really good the guy is that was probably one of the most unprofessional displays I've seen.

Listen to Frank Catalano. Specifically his album Bang! Every song being a major display of awesome punk tenor playing.

Or here....

I watched the whole clip and never saw the "most unprofessional" part.

To the OP. What does this clip have to do with jazz?

This is a pretty odd thread.

Are we being asked to get outraged about this guy sitting down on a bucket to solo? It's at a block party with an audience of about 10!! He's still one hell of a player - i thought it was a really good solo.

What any of this has got to do with jazz I don't know.

"Obnoxious"?? Is that as in nasty=wicked=great or nasty=nasty??

I'm confused.

Pretty decent playing, bucket notwithstanding. I was more interested in knowing what kind of horn that is. A modern horn with double bracing on the low C, underslung octave key and a Selmer style bell brace. What is that thing anyway?

The description of the video contains this:

"Yanagisawa T990 Tenor, Jody Jazz DV7, Rico Royal #3"

Seemed like good blues playing, I was expecting something much wilder based on the discussion.

Based on the clip, I think the OP is looking for blues/R&B type of sax playing. There are plenty of edgy jazz players as well. Anyway, here are a few suggestions, in no particular order and from a wide time frame ('40s to the present):

King Curtis
Red Prysock
Greg Piccolo
Jimmy Forest
"Sax" Gordon Beale
Bullmoose Jackson
Jr Walker
Sil Austin

Shows how much I know. And, yes, decent blues playing.

Don't know if I'd call this obnoxious but it's definitely off the hook. Nobody can bring it like Mr. Christlieb.

 

[dexdex]

Sam Butera, the one honking on most famous Louis Prima recordings.
The craziest version of Night Train.

Where's the 'badcore stuff' you refer to? That link just cycles us back to this thread.

 

[SaxTon]

Sam "The Man" Taylors' version of Harlem Nocturne is a classic. One of the true tenor greats

Oh man, I'm sorry. I must have copied the wrong link . I feel really dumb, thanks for catching that.

Yeah, those are great clips! Thanks.

I wonder if the OP is getting anything out of all this?

If nothing else, we are.

Good point!

Nice camera work on the Sevrensin clip...agree with Jeff - at 3:02 Christlieb is definitely bringing it.
