Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 I thought it was pretty tacky, myself. It's The National Anthem, not introduction to jazz. Play it straight. Most artist's for some reason have to make it their own, vocalists or instrumentalists 1 Quote
Cowtown Scout, SASS #53540 L Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 The Dallas Cowboys have had a sax player do the National Anthem but he played it like it should be and did not personalize it like the sax player did tonight. Don't care for the ad lib personalizing of the NA. 1 Quote
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 Where/when did this happen? Quote
Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Posted January 14, 2017 He apparently wanted it to be all about him with the overly long note. Well, it is Seattle. Quote
Cowtown Scout, SASS #53540 L Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 Yea my brother even commented about that Loooong held last note being ridicules. They are actually playing at Atlanta. Quote
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 He apparently wanted it to be all about him with the overly long note. Well, it is Seattle. Ahhhh, I think it is Atlanta, Bob. But we do have a lot of musicians on our streets. Quite a few are a celebrity in their own mind. I keep asking myself why we even play the anthem. It could get worse on the scoreboard also. Seahawks got a lot of good press before they left and looks like they read and believed it. Quote
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Still wondering where this happened... At a football game? Quote
Cowtown Scout, SASS #53540 L Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Still wondering where this happened... At a football game? Seattle Seahawks playing the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC playoff game. Edited January 15, 2017 by Cowtown Scout, SASS #53540 L Quote

Dantankerous Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Jazz is great music. BUT... A Jazz version of the National Anthem is NOT NEEDED. At least, not in the context of this, uh, incident. Quote
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 I still blame Seattle for it. Go ahead, We have had a long day anyway. Now the Seahawks can sit on the big sofa and watch the Super Bowl with the other 30 teams. Quote
Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 I love some good jazz but this is not the venue for it! It's as bad as the singers that muck it all up! Quote
Subdeacon Joe Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 If he had just played it through, with only a few flourishes, it wouldn't have been bad. Quote
Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 15, 2017 Author Posted January 15, 2017 I love some good jazz but this is not the venue for it! It's as bad as the singers that muck it all up! Agree. Also a jazz fan. But this was not the place. Quote
Blackwater 53393 Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Good jazz is just that!! This wasn't even good jazz!!! DISGRACEFULL!! Quote
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 I liked it, except the note that was held a bit too long. It's not sacred; as long as it's respectful. It was OK in my opinion. The anthem is done hundreds and thousands of times in pretty ordinary fashion.....I do like the sax.... Quote
Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Good jazz is just that!! This wasn't even good jazz!!! DISGRACEFULL!! Oh c'mon Blackwater, the guy is a good player! Quote
