Marion Meadows is probably one of the coolest saxophonists I think I’ve ever seen perform. He walks out onto the stage so chilled out about the whole thing, soprano saxophone in hand, deadlocks flowing and his sunglasses on his face. The band launch into a fun jazz blues groove, and Meadows allows the band to get into the swing of everything before ripping right into the motif of the first song “Treasures”. He performs with such emotion, not giving the audience too much at first, taking them on a journey of twists and turns. The variations that he gradually introduces into this set are just so interesting too as he showcases some of his best techniques such as two octave glissandos and trills over three different modes in the space of about 8 bars. It’s wild and I’m aware of how geeky that last sentence just got. This formula that is so clearly tried and tested is what he endorses throughout his charismatic set, simply making people dance and feel good.
